Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effectiveness of modified Morita therapy in the long-term hospitalized patients of schizophrenia.Methods:A total of 84 long-term hospitalized patients of schizophrenia admitted to Minkang Hospital of Ningxia Civil Affairs Department from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected by convenience sampling method. Patients were randomly divided into a control group ( n=42) and an intervention group ( n=42) using a random number table method. The control group received psychotropic medication and routine psychiatric care, while the intervention group received additional modified Morita therapy for eight weeks. Before and after the intervention, the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Life Satisfaction Index A (LSIA) were used to assess clinical symptoms, life satisfaction, and self-esteem. Results:After the intervention, the intervention group showed significantly lower PANSS total scores [ (37.10±4.18) vs. (42.70±5.56), P<0.01] and general psychopathology symptom scores [ (19.98±2.63) vs. (22.59±3.04), P<0.01] compared to the control group. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and LSIA scores in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group [ (28.89±4.17) vs. (26.61±5.74), P=0.02] and [ (11.39±1.88) vs. (9.33±2.57), P<0.01], respectively. Conclusions:Modified Morita therapy is effective in alleviating symptoms, improving life satisfaction, and enhancing self-esteem in long-term hospitalized patients in the remission stage of schizophrenia.
