Abstract:
Objective:To explore the anger emotional state,traits and expression characteristics in patients with schizophrenia with violent behavior in community.Methods:Twenty-five patients with schizopnrenia with a history of violent behavior among the community rehabilitation institutions were selected as the violent behavior group,and 74 patients with schizopnrenia without a history of violent behavior were selected as the nonviolent behavior group.The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale(BPRS)was used to assess psychiatric symptoms,and the State-Trait An-ger Expression Inventory(STAXI)was used to assess anger characteristics.Results:Compared with the nonviolent behavior group,the violent behavior group had significantly higher scores in the trait of anger(patient dimension score,rational dimension score)and expression of anger(total score,restraint dimension score)[(28.0±23.8)vs.(19.6±13.3),(55.0±30.6)vs.(40.0±21.5),(34.2±11.6)vs.(27.3±10.7),(56.0±26.1)vs.(33.7±21.1),Ps＜0.05].Higher scores of rationality dimension of anger trait(OR=3.69,95％CI:1.43-7.98)and re-straint dimension of anger expression(OR=3.25,95％CI:1.39-7.47)were risk factors for violent behaviors.Conclusion:Compared with patients with schizopnrenia without violent behavior,patients with violent behavior history may show more lack of rationality,and poorer anger restraint.
