Objective:To explore the effect of life skills and social skills training on the living ability and social function of patients with schizophrenia.Methods:A total of 86 patients with schizophrenia who were admitted and treated from April 2018 to April 2019 were selected in the Second People's Hospital of Chuzhou as research objects by the convenience sampling. They were divided into the observation group and the control group according to the random number table, with 43 patients in each group. The control group was given drug maintenance therapy combined with general rehabilitation activities while the observation group was given systematic life and social skills training on the basis of drug maintenance therapy. After 12 weeks, scores of the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS) , Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Scale and Scale of Social Function in Psychosis Inpatients (SSPI) were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, PANSS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group in all dimensions, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The ADL score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After intervention, SSPI scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group in all dimensions, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Life and social skills training can significantly improve the mental symptoms of patients with schizophrenia and improve their daily living ability and social functions, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective:To explore the effect of hand making combined with social skills training on the self-care ability and quality of life of patients with schizophrenia.Methods:According to random number table method, totally 120 patients with schizophrenia admitted to the Second People ′s Hospital of Chuzhou City, Anhui Province from January to December 2019 were divided into observation and control groups, which had 60 patients in each groups, 10 cases and 7 cases fell off respectively. The control group received antipsychotic medication and routine nursing, meanwhile the general recreational activities (circles, radio exercises, etc.) and physical therapy were also carried out in the department and rehabilitation physical therapy center. The observation group was given hand making and social skills training for 12 weeks on the basis of the control group. The self-care ability and quality of life of patients in the two groups were compared before intervention, 6 and 12 weeks after intervention. Results:Before intervention, there was no statistical significance in the scores of World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF) and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) in 2 groups ( P>0.05). After 6 and 12 weeks of intervention, ADL scores in the observation group were (96.40±3.79) and (98.50±2.53) points, while those in the control group were (93.96±4.31) and (94.06±4.28) points. And the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t values were 3.38, 6.36, P<0.05). However, after 6 weeks of intervention, there was no significant difference in WHOQOL-BREF scores between the two groups ( P>0.05); after 12 weeks of intervention, the scores of WHOQOL-BREF in the domains of G1(patients′ self-rated quality of life), G4(patients′ satisfaction with self-rated health status), physiology, psychology, social relations and environment in the observation group were (3.76±1.14), (3.86±1.03), (14.83±2.56), (15.04±3.07), (14.72±3.67) (14.55±3.22) points. The scores of the control group were (3.00±0.83), (3.34±0.90), (12.79±2.06), (12.70±2.45), (12.70±3.06) and (12.64±2.42) points. And the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t values were from 2.73 to 4.47, P<0.01). Conclusions:Hand making combined with social skills training can improve the self-care ability and quality of life of patients with schizophrenia, and it is an effective means of treatment to help the patients with schizophrenia to achieve recovery, out of the hospital, back to society.
