Abstract: ObjectiveTo explore the influence of antipsychotics combined with skill traning on quality of life and social function of patients with schizophrenia at recovery.Methods80 patients with schizophrenia were randomly divided into study group (n=40, antipsychotics plus skill training)and control group (n﹦40, only antipsychotics) for 1-year treatment. At pre-treatment and end of treatment, both groups were assessed with Positiveand and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS), Generic Quality Of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74) and Social Disability Screening Schedue(SDSS) respectively to evaluate their effects, quality of life and social funtion.ResultsAfter 1-year treatment, the general scores of PANSS and each factors in both groups decreased significantly compared with the baseline(P<0.05～0.01), and the significant difference was found between two groups(P<0.01). Improvement of each factor score of FAD(except factor of the material life) and SDSS in study group were more better than those in control group(P<0.05～0.01).ConclusionTreatment with antipsychotics plus skill traning is helpful to release the mental syndrome, improve quality of life and social funtion, and facilitate the recovery of the patients with schizophrenia at recovery.
