摘要

Background: Social skills training is currently the theory most widely applied in the mental health treatment system. It is also the most frequently employed approach to social problem solving.
Purpose: The authors designed this study to investigate the effects of social skills training on expression and communication in hospitalized schizophrenic patients.
Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design. Structured questionnaires collected data covering demographics, communication functions and social skills. Data were collected from 26 June to 19 August, 2007. The eight participants enrolled all exhibited poor communication skills and withdrawal behavior in interpersonal relationships; had been hospitalized for three days; and were capable of paying attention for more than 30 minutes. Researchers administered a 60-minute social skills training course intervention to participants two times a week for a one-month period.
Results: A total of 8 valid responses were received, giving a response rate of 72.7%. Major findings after the intervention found significant differences in participant capacities to introduce themselves, reject and be rejected, borrow and lend, apologize, and invite and be invited. Changes in such social functions exhibited statistically significant differences (p＜.01).
Conclusion/Implication for practice: This study shows that social skill training intervention significantly affects schizophrenic patient communication skills. Such training courses can improve patient social functions and enhance problem solving abilities.
