Objective To study the efficacy of medication management, symptom management and community reentry skills-training modules to prevent rural patients with schizophrenia from relapse and increase their social function.Methods 89 subjects were randomly assigned to the skills training group (45 cases) and the control group (44 cases). Both groups received the same treatments, but the skills training courses were given to the skills training group for twelve weeks when the subjects were addmitted into the trial and at their one-year follow-up timepoint respectively. And a two-year follow-up was carried out. All subjects were evaluated with PANSS, SDSS, relapse and employeement.Results 89 subjects had completed the study. The skills training group demonstrated clinical Results significantly superior to those of the control group on overall improvement according to PANSS and SDSS. Substantially, statistically significant advantages of the skills training group were related to 1) the rate of relapse (11.1% vs 31.8%), 2) the rate of employment (37.8% vs 15.9%).Conclusion Medication management, symptom management and community-re-entry skills-training modules are effective in reducing patients' psychiatric symptoms, preventing them from relapse and increasing their social function.

Objective This study aims to investigate the effect of rehabilitation skills training on suicide and relapse prevention of patients with depression.Methods Eighty patients were randomly divided into two groups.One group accepted depression rehabilitation skills training and the other group accepted general health education for 4 weeks.Both groups were followed up by 12 months,and the number of relapse and suicide and the score of Health-related quality of life made by Word Health Organization (WHOQOL-BREF) were recorded.Results The rate of relapse (10.0％ vs.42.5％) and hospitalization (5.0％ vs.20.0％) were lower in skills training group than in control group (P＜0.05).Rate of seeking help of suicide was higher in skills training group than in control group (25.5％ vs.7.5％) (P＜0.05).The suicide mortality was insignificantly different between two groups (0.0％ vs.2.5％) (P＞0.05).The scores of WHOQOL-BREF were significantly higher in skills training group than in control group in follow-up (P＜0.05).Conclusions Rehabilitation skills training program can not only reduce the rate of relapse and suicide but also improve the quality of life of patients with depression.

Objective To survey the situation and related factors of maintenance medication treatment in schizophrenic patients re-hospitalized for relapse. Methods 362 patients re-admitted with schizophrenia and their relatives were interviewed with questionnaire which included 16 factors that might affect maintenance medication treatment. Results 63.8% patients stopped medication and 21.1% patients were on low-dose maintenance medication treatment by themselves, while 7.7% patients were on reasonable dose anti-psychotics in 2 years. The time of maintenance medication treatment related with insight (OR=2.2144, P=0.001), family care (OR=4.8842, P=0.025), outcomes of treatment (OR=2.2056, P=0.007) and negative life events (OR=0.4529, P=0.003). Conclusion Schizophrenic patients re-admitted with relapse often withdraw or reduce their medication by themselves, which risked with poor insight, poor therapeutic effect, poor care from their family, and more negative life events
