The results as follows

But the patients in open wards were scored higher in positive factors than those of patients in close wards. The factors which was shown significant differences in scores of NOSIE between the patients admitted to the close and open wards were neatness, competence, cooperation, irritability and psychosis.
2. There were significant differences in the scores of NOSIE among the patients divided by DSM- III-R diagnoses. Schizophrenics showed significantly lower scores in positive factors than the other diagnostic groups. Bipolars showed significantly higher scores in negative factors.
