|
This study examined the effects of stress-management programs on the symptoms and quality of life in the chronic schizophrenics. The subjects were the chronic schizophrenics who were registered and managed by one of the public health care centers in Seoul. The stress-management programs were provided 10 times. Positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) and quality of life were surveyed before and after the stress-management programs. The results were as follows.
1. The differences of positive symptoms, negative symptoms and general psychopathological symptoms before and after stress-management program were significantly different between the group which were provided with stress-management programs and the group which were not provided.
2. The differences of the quality of life before and after stress-management program were significantly different between the group which were provided with stress-management programs and the group which were not provided.
These results indicate that stress-management programs have effects on relieving the symptoms and improving the quality of life of schizophrenics. Ultimately these results also suggest that stress-management programs be used as the supplementary means to treat schizophrenics.
