Abstract:

Objective To explore the mediating role of hope level between stigma and social dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia. Methods The inpatients with schizophrenia in a tertiary hospital in Hunan province from January to June 2021 were selected by convenience sampling. The Schizophrenia Hope Scale(SHS),Perceived Devaluation-Discrimination Scale(PDD),and the Social Disability Screening Schedule(SDSS) were used. Results The PDD score of 217 schizophrenic patients was(29.25±3.40). The SHS score was(9.41±1.85). The SDSS score was(6.64±3.37). Hope level had a partial mediating effect between stigma and social dysfunction in schizophrenia patients,accounting for 38.4% of the total effect. Conclusion Stigma can indirectly affect social functioning deficits in patients with schizophrenia through hope levels. During treatment and rehabilitation,both medical staff and patients’ family members should focus on the patient’s stigma and hope level,strengthen the patient’s self-affirmation training,reduce the patient’s social function deficit,and promote the patient’s return to society.
