MethodA total of 81 patients in rural communities of three towns in Lanzhou new area who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） were randomly divided into study group （n=39） and control group （n=42）. Both groups received general drug treatment. On this basis， the study group received community rehabilitation intervention for 6 months. Before and after intervention， Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale （PANSS）， Activity of Daily Living Scale （ADL）， Social Disability Screening Schedule （SDSS） and Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale （SQLS） were used to assess the psychotic symptoms， social function and quality of life in two groups. ResultsAfter intervention， the PANSS total score ［（55.54±14.75） vs. （63.52±13.95）， t=-2.504， P=0.014］， negative symptom factor score ［（15.64±4.50） vs. （18.38±5.13）， t=-2.547， P=0.013］ and general psychopathological factor score ［（25.67±7.39） vs. （30.35±6.60）， t=-3.015， P=0.003］ of the study group were lower than those of the control group. The SDSS score ［（8.21±3.78） vs. （10.21±4.67）， t=-2.118， P=0.037］ and SQLS score ［（18.97±6.23） vs. （22.43±8.04）， t=2.150， P=0.035］ of the study group were lower than those of the control group.
