Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of the low-intensity exercise therapy on physical and mental health in hospitalized patients with chronic schizophrenia .Methods According to the random number table, a total of 90 inpatients with chronic schizophrenia were divided into intervention group (45 cases) and control group(45 cases).Both groups were treated with routine treatment and care , and the intervention group received extra exercise therapy for 3 months.Physiological indexes of blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic blood pressure , SBP and DBP ) , biochemical parameters of blood lipids including total cholesterol ( TC ) , triglyceride( TG) and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale ( PANSS) scores were compared before and after intervention.Results After 3months′intervention, SBP(121 ±9)mmHg and DBP(82 ±7)mmHg of intervention group were lower than the control group (t =-4.353,-2.648;P<0.01).TC(4.08 ±0.53) mmol/L and TG (0.90 ±0.21)mmol/L of the intervention group were lower than the control group (t=-4.517,-2.734;P<0.05).Total score of PANSS (63.93 ±5.78)points and its 4 sub scales including positive scale (14.65 ± 2.71)points, negative scale (13.44 ±2.40)points, and general psychopathology scale (35.84 ±3.78)points were lower than the control group (t=-10.521,-4.174,-7.256,-8.055;P<0.01).Conclusions Low-intensity exercise therapy could promote the physical and mental health of the hospitalized patients with chronic schizophrenia .
