English abstract:
      Background Rehabilitation for schizophrenia typically relies on pharmacological interventions, yet their efficacy in improving social function and quality of life remains limited. In recent years, non-pharmacological approaches have shown promise in enhancing rehabilitation outcomes. However, research on the effectiveness of psychomotor therapy specifically for young and middle-aged schizophrenic inpatients is limited.Objective To explore the effects of psychomotor therapy on the rehabilitation of young and middle-aged schizophrenic inpatients, and to provide a reference for treatment strategies.Methods A total of 104 young and middle-aged schizophrenic inpatients who met the International Classification of Diseases,tenth edition (ICD-10) diagnostic criteria and hospitalized in the Fourth People's Hospital of Wuhu from June 2021 to June 2022 were selected. Patients were randomly divided into two groups of 52 each using random number table method. Both groups received treatment with risperidone tablets (2~4 mg/d) , along with routine nursing care. Additionally, the research group received an extra 45~55 minutes of psychomotor therapy 2~3 times per week for 12 weeks. The control group received the same psychomotor therapy after the study. Positive and Negative Symptom Scale (PANSS), Scales of Social-skills for Psychiatric Inpatient (SSPI) and Insight and Treatment Attitude Questionnaire (ITAQ) were used to assess the patients before the intervention and at 4th, 8th and 12th week after the intervention.Results The main effects of intervention at different time points for PANSS positive symptoms, negative symptoms and general psychopathology subscale scores, PANSS total score, SSPI score and ITAQ score were all statistically significant (F=33.989, 204.245, 82.817, 279.596, 26.144, 7.463, P<0.01). Furthermore, statistically significant between-group differences were observed in PANSS negative symptoms and general psychopathology subscale scores, PANSS total score, SSPI score and ITAQ score (F=30.053, 5.306, 33.417, 33.013, 18.608, P<0.05 or 0.01). Moreover, the interaction effect of time and group were statistically significant for PANSS positive symptoms, negative symptoms and general psychopathology subscale score, PANSS total score and SSPI score (F=3.472, 9.798, 3.843, 14.390, 20.661, P<0.05 or 0.01). After 12 weeks of intervention, the research group exhibited statistically significantly lower PANSS total score and subscale scores compared with baseline (P<0.01), while their SSPI total score was significantly higher than that of control group(P<0.01). Additionally, compared with the control group, the research group had statistically significantly lower PANSS total score and subscale scores , while their SSPI score was statistically significantly higher than those of control group(P<0.01).Conclusion Psychomotor therapy may contribute to the improvement of the psychiatric symptoms and social function in young and middle-aged inpatients with schizophrenia, enhancing their rehabilitation outcomes.
