Objectives： This study of chronic & symptomatically stable schizophrenic patients was performed to evaluate differences in current psychiatric symptoms between the group with job and those without.
Methods： 80 schizophrenic patients, from outpatients of Seoul National Hospital and a local psychiatric day hospital, were divided into two groups：a group with job and a group without. Subjects were assessed by sociodemographic, occupational features, Positive and Negative Symptom Scale(PANSS), Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), Simpson-Angus Rating Scale(SAS), and Global Assessment of Functioning(GAF) through out the interview and questionnaire inquiry.
Results： In the group of patients with job, the mean score of negative symptoms of the PANSS was 13.31±4.70 which is significantly low compared to 17.80±4.87 of that in those without job(F=0.46, df：78, p=0.00). GAF score in the group of patients with job was significantly high compared to that in the group of those without job(F=6.07, df：78, p=0.00).
Conclusion： It is concluded that the score of negative symptoms of the PANSS was significantly low in the group of patients with job.
