ObjectiveTo explore the effect of modified Morita therapy intervention on long-term social function of patients with schizophrenia. Methods200 cases of schizophrenia patients admitted to our hospital from March to December 2015 were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 100 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were given conventional drug therapy and rehabilitation training, and the patients in the observation group were treated with modified Morita therapy on the basis of rehabilitation therapy in the control group. The improvements in social function deficit screening scale (SDSS) scores were compared between the two groups. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the scores of SDSS items between the two groups before the intervention (P＞0.05). After one year of intervention, the occupation and work, marriage function, parental function, social withdrawal, social activities outside the family, reduction of activities within the family, family functions, personal care, interest and concern to the outside world, responsibility and planning improved significantly. The proportion of patients with no defects after intervention increased significantly and that with defects decreased significantly. The improvement of occupation and work, social withdrawal, social activities outside the family, reduction of activities within the family, family functions, interest and concern to the outside world in the observation group were significantly superior than those in the control group. The difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05). ConclusionModified Morita therapy intervention can effectively promote long-term social function recovery of patients with schizophrenia and improve their life quality, it is worthy of promotion and application.
