Translated Abstract
BackgroundSchizophrenia is a common psychiatric disease, the incidence rate of 0.5% among 1%. More prolonged course repeatedly. Depression is common in patients with symptoms of schizophrenia, can occur in different periods of schizophrenia. Johnson through the 2-year follow-up study found that depression can extend the period of acute symptoms of schizophrenia and to 2-fold increased risk of acute relapse of schizophrenia 3 times Falloon found that depression is the main reason for hospital admission in 40% of patients with schizophrenia depression split the symptoms are more likely to relapse. Glazer pointed out that depressive symptoms and poor performance of schizophrenia patients with social contact, including the difficulty of building relationships with others these social barriers and schizophrenia depression, premorbid personality and the insidious onset related to bad. Schizophrenia with depression often associated with poor prognosis, and functional defects, personal pain, a higher recurrence rate, and then even higher rate of suicide-related hospitalization. Significant effect on depressive symptoms and quality of life of patients and affect the clinical course of many diseases and recovery. High incidence of depressive symptoms of schizophrenia, and the severity of different schizophrenia depression generally higher than the normal healthy population. Some studies also suggest suicidal behavior in schizophrenic patients a higher proportion of depressive symptoms, suicidal behavior and depressive symptoms were positively correlated. Depression in patients with chronic schizophrenia is generally higher than the normal population incidence. The condition of depression on rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia have a greater impact and quality of life.Research AimThis study was to investigate and understand the incidence of depression in patients with chronic schizophrenia cases, comparative analysis of depression in patients with chronic schizophrenia related factors, of depression in patients with chronic schizophrenia on quality of life. Drug treatment for chronic schizophrenia and chronic schizophrenia patients in order to reduce the incidence of depression and suicide, to promote their rehabilitation to provide a scientific basis.MethodsXi‘an Mental Health Center from June 2009 to June 2010 patients with chronic schizophrenia were hospitalized as the research object, according to the Chinese Classification and Diagnostic Criteria of Mental Disease (3rd version) (CCMD-3) diagnostic criteria for chronic schizophrenia, First, the psychiatrist asked about the history, physical examination and one by one neuropsychiatric examination. And then by two or more psychiatrists are physicians to evaluate their symptoms, respectively positive and negative scale (PANSS), the treatment of symptoms scale (TESS), Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) overall well-being Scale (GWB), health status questionnaire (SF-36) and other objects of the selected evaluation. With SPSS18.0 data for statistical analysis.ResultEnrolled a total of 180 patients with chronic schizophrenia, 88 patients were male, female 92 cases. Age of 47.3 ± 6.8 years. Duration 18.4 ± 8.0 years. Number of hospitalization 5.0 ± 2.8 times. The first time, age 28.9 ± 8.5 years. 180 cases of patients with chronic schizophrenia PANSS total score 75.6 ± 11.7 positive scale score (P-PANSS) 18.0 ± 5.9 negative scale score (N-PANSS) was 25.6 ± 8.5 general psychopathology scale score (G-PANSS) 32.0 ± 7.6 composite scale is divided into -7.6 ± 10.3.180 patients with chronic schizophrenia CDSS score of 0 to 11, average 3.93±2.79 CDSS≥6 points, 59 cases, score 6 to 11, average 7.20±1.16. Calculate the incidence of depressive symptoms in patients with chronic schizophrenia was 32.78%.Will be associated with physical illness, marital status, insight, family economic level, physician-patient relationship, social support, disease duration, frequency of hospitalization, PANSS, P-PANSS, N-PANSS, composite subscales, TESS into multiple Logistic regression analysis. Results: Depressive symptoms in patients with chronic schizophrenia, the impact factors for N-PANSS (p = 0.006), family economic level (p = 0.000), TESS points (p = 0.003), marital status (p = 0.003), insight (p = 0.030) and PANSS points (p = 0.025). Insight (OR = 0.498) and household economic level (OR = 0.387) in patients with chronic schizophrenia protective factors of depressive symptoms PANSS (OR = 1.059), N-PANSS (OR = 1.101), TESS (OR = 1.530) and unmarried (OR = 4.226) or without a spouse (OR = 3.024) in patients with chronic schizophrenia risk factors for depressive symptoms.Grouped according to CDSS no depression group and the depression group and the SF-36, respectively, after the GWB and the related research, tips and the GWB SF-36 was negatively correlated with the CDSS , the Correlation coefficient SF-36 is -0.705, GWB is -0.795, CDSS linear regression tips and SF-36, respectively, and GWB has linear regression, description of life in patients with chronic schizophrenia and subjective well-being of poor quality and low on depressive symptoms appear.Conclusion1. Depressive symptoms in patients with chronic schizophrenia incidence rate of 32.78%, consistent with the data reported at home and abroad. 2. Depressive symptoms in patients with chronic schizophrenia, the risk factors for the N-PANSS, family economic level, TESS points, marital status, insight, PANSS points insight and the family economic level of depressive symptoms in patients with chronic schizophrenia protection factors PANSS, N-PANSS, TESS or without a spouse and unmarried patients with chronic schizophrenia risk factors for depressive symptoms.3. Direct impact on depressive symptoms in patients with chronic schizophrenia experience a sense of happiness, depressive symptoms were negatively correlated with happiness, decline in the quality of life in patients with chronic schizophrenia.
