|
The auther analized the frequencies of presenting symptoms seen in the readmitted schizophrenic patients who received in-patient psychiatric treatment at the Chonnam University Medical School from March 1974 to February 1977 for the purpose of studying schizophrenic symptom change over two hospitalizations. The followings were the results;
1) The most frequent symptom was insomnia over two hospitalizations (91. 3% in first admission, 86. 3% in readmission). Job ineffectiveness was the next in frequency.
2) Characteristic schizophrenic symptoms such as withdrawal tendency, bizarre behavior and auditory hallucination showed significant decrease in frequency with rehospitalization. But delusion showed high frequency through, two hospitalizations.
3) The most frequent subtype was pranoid schiz
ophrenia with increasing tendency on readmission (38.8% in first admission, 46% in readmission). Catatonic type showed decreasing frequency in rehospitalization.
