Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the intervention effects of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) on the patients with first episode schizophrenia. Methods A total of 80 patients with first episode schizophrenia were randomly divided into study group (n =40) and control group (n =40). The study group was treated by routine drugs and psychiatric nursing after two weeks combining with CBT while the control group was treated only by routine drugs and psychiatric nursing. Both groups were assessed with Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Nurses Observation Scale for Inpatient Evaluation (NOSIE) , Scale of Social-skill for Psychiatric Inpatients (SSPI) , and Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90) before and after CBT intervention. The scores of those scales were compared between two groups. Results There were significant differences after CBT intervention in all factors, total negative factors and total positive factors of NOSIE, total score of SSPI and PANSS (P<0.01) between two groups. Factors score of interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, panic, paranoid ideation, and psychosis of SCL-90 in the study group decreased significantly after intervention. Conclusions It is suggested that CBT can improve social function and quality of life and facilitate recovery of the first-episode schizophrenia patients.
