Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of predictive nursing on suicidal behavior in schizophrenic patients.Methods A total of 80 patients with schizophrenia treated in Shangrao Third People′s Hospital, Jiangxi Province from January 2017 to April 2020 were selected as the research objects.According to different nursing methods, they were divided into the control group (n=39) and the observation group (n=41).Patients in the control group were given routine nursing intervention, and patients in the observation group were given routine nursing+predictive nursing intervention,all patients were intervened for 4 weeks.The incidence of suicidal behavior and the behavioral activity rating scale(BARS) before intervention and 4 weeks after intervention and the social function rating scale (SSPI) scores of inpatients with mental illness were compared between the two groups.Results The incidence of suicide in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Before the intervention, the BARS scores of the two groups were compared, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05); after 4 weeks of intervention, the BARS scores in the two groups were lower than those before intervention, and the BARS score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Before intervention, the scores of daily living ability, motility and interaction, and social skills of the two groups were compared, the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05); after 4 weeks of intervention, the scores of activities of daily living, motility and communication, and social skills in the two groups were higher than those before intervention, and the scores of daily living ability, motility and communication, and social skills of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Implementing predictive care among schizophrenic patients can effectively reduce the incidence of suicidal behavior,can effectively reduce behavioral impulse symptoms and improve social function.
