Abstract

|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of mindfulness based group intervention on negative symptom, emotional state and ward behaviour of inpatients with chronic schizophrenia.
Methods : The mindfulness based intervention group was composed of 21 inpatients (12 men, 9 women) with schizophrenia. Assessment was done at the beginning and at the end of this period. The assessment measures include Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90R), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Nurses’ Observation Scale for Inpatient Evaluation (NOSIE).
Results : After 16 sessions of mindfulness based group intervention, there was significant improvement in PANSS general symptom score, negative symptom subscale, SCL-90R Depression, and SCL-90R anxiety subscales. There was also significant improvement in social competence, irritability, and depression subscales of NOSIE.
Conclusion : These results suggest that mindfulness based group intervention could be applied to chronic schizophrenic
patients and be effective in improving social ability and reducing negative symptom.
