| Background The mental health rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia mainly relies on antipsychotic drug treatment, however, it’s difficult to achieve the expected effect by drug treatment for improving social function and quality of life of patients. In recent years, more and more non-drug rehabilitation measures have been applied to improve the rehabilitation effect of mental disorders, but there are few literature reports on the rehabilitation effect of psychomotor rehabilitation training on young adults with schizophrenia. Objective To explore the effect of psychomotor rehabilitation training on the rehabilitation of young and middle-aged schizophrenic patients, and to provide reference for the rehabilitation treatment of young and middle-aged schizophrenic patients. Methods A total of 104 young adults with schizophrenia who met the ICD-10 diagnostic criteria and were hospitalized in the Fourth People's Hospital of Wuhu City from June 2021 to June 2022 were selected as the study objects, and 91 patients who met the inclusion criteria were divided into 2 groups by random number table method, including 46 cases in the observation group and 45 cases in the control group. Both groups were treated with risperidone tablets, 2-4 mg/ day. The control group received routine rehabilitation nursing on the basis of drug treatment, while the observation group received 45-55min psychomotor rehabilitation training 2-3 times a week for 12 weeks on the basis of routine nursing. The Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS), inpatient Psychiatric Social Functioning Scale (SSPI), and Self-Awareness and Treatment Attitude Questionnaire (ITAQ) were used before and after the intervention. Results After intervention, the total score of PANSS (F= 0.408, P < 0.01), positive symptoms (F=-1.268, P < 0.01), negative symptoms (F= 0.185, P < 0.01) and general psychopathological scores (F= 0.529, P < 0.01) in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group. The differences were statistically significant. After intervention, the social function score of the observation group (F=135.60, P < 0.01) was higher than that of the control group (F=0.135, P > 0.05). The score of insight (F=27.366, P < 0.01) was higher than that of control group (F=6.035, P < 0.05), and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Psychomotor rehabilitation training may help to improve the mental symptoms of young and middle-aged inpatients with schizophrenia, improve their social function and treatment compliance. |
