Study of Relation Between Disability and Symptomatology with Recovery in Schizophrenia
Tóm tắt
There is a great paucity of studies on recovery in schizophrenia in India. Hence, this study was undertaken to assess (1) the relationship between disability and stages of recovery and (2) the relationship between disability, recovery and symptomatology. Data was collected from a convenience sample of 50 schizophrenia patients using semi structured proforma, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Indian Disability Evaluation and Assessment Scale and Stages of Recovery Instrument (STORI), and subjected to appropriate statistical analysis. In the sample studied, stage of moratorium of STORI had significant positive correlation, while stage of preparation and growth had significant negative correlation with disability. Stage of moratorium had significant positive correlation with all subscales of PANSS while stages of awareness, preparation and rebuilding and growth had significant negative correlation with all subscales of PANSS. This suggests that there is a significant relationship between level of functioning, psychopathological symptoms and person’s ability to pursue recovery.
