| Background The prevalence rate of schizophrenia is high, and the decline of occupational function and social function of patients brings heavy burden to patients' families and society. Shared decision-making oriented vocational training can enhance patients' treatment compliance and is conducive to improving their social functions. Currently, there are few reports on such research, which is worth exploring. Objective To explore the application effect of vocational training based on shared decision-making in hospitalized patients with schizophrenia, in order to provide reference for the rehabilitation of patients. Methods A total of 68 patients with schizophrenia who met the diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Diseases (10th Edition) (ICD-10) and were hospitalized in the Third People's Hospital of Wenjiang District, Chengdu from January to June 2024 were selected as the study objects, and were divided into the study group and the control group with 34 patients in each group by random number table method. Both groups received routine rehabilitation training, and the research group received shared decision-making oriented vocational training for 12 weeks, 2 times a week for 2 hours each time. Before and after intervention, two groups of patients were evaluated by general self-efficacy scale (GSES), Stigma Scale for Patients with Mental illness (SSMI), Social Function Rating Scale for inpatients with Mental Illness (SSFPI), and Rehabilitation Efficacy Rating Scale for inpatients with mental illness (IPROS). Results A total of 63 valid subjects were included in this study. Repeated measurement ANOVA results showed that the temporal and interactive effects of GSES, SSMI, SSFPI and IPROS scores in the study group and the control group were statistically significant (F=20.451, 16.022; 26.193, 12.944; 23.957, 5.023; 11.776, 3.985, P<0.05 or 0.01), there was no statistical significance between groups (F=0.188, 0.742, 1.878, 0.474, P>0.05). Conclusion Shared decision-making oriented vocational training helps to restore social function in patients with schizophrenia. |
