The factors associated with subjective cognitive complaints in schizophrenia

Introduction Schizophrenia (SKZ) is a chronic, disabling and incapacitating psychiatric disorder. In addition to the traditional symptomes of schizophrenia, the suffering of this patients can be expressed through a set of cognitive complaints Objectives To determe the factors associated with subjective cognitive complaints in schizophrenia Methods We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study among a sample of of 72 patients followed in psychiatric outpatient of Hefi chaker university hospital in sfax. We used the SSTIC scale to determine subjectif complains ans the PANSS to evalue positif and negatif symptomes Results The mean age of our popularion was 46.83± 11.6 years. The patients had a low socio-economic level in 70.1%. They were unemployed in 46.9%, consumed alcohol in 23.6% and consumed tobacco in 58,6% of the cases. the total score on the PANSS scale was 46, distributed as follows: 9 for positive symptoms, 17 for negative symptoms and 22 for total psychopathological assessment. They had an average score of 25 on the total SSTICS score Factors significantly correlated with subjective cognitive complaints were: low socio-economic level (p=0.04), lack of occupation (p=0.001), alcoholism (p=0.001), smoking (p=0.01) and presence of negative symptoms (p=0.00). Conclusions This study demonstrates that socio-demographic characteristics and the predominance of negative signs may increase the subjectif cognitif complains in schizophrenia. The recognition of these associations by the psychiatrist can have an important implication in the therapeutic management.

Introduction: Schizophrenia, with its high prevalence, chronic progression and social impact, is a major challenge for health professionals. For this reason it is important to assess the impact of this disease on these patients, mainly on their quality of life. Objectives: To study the quality of life in patients with schizophrenia and determine the factors correlated with it. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study of 28 patients with schizophrenia followed up at the psychiatric consultation in Hédi Chaker University Hospital of Sfax. Data collection was performed using a sheet exploring socio-demographic and clinical data. We used the Quality of Life Scale (Q-LES-Q-SF). Results: The average age of our patients was 40.61AE6.27 years. The sex ratio (M/F) was1.15. The socioeconomic level was low in 71.4%. The average number of relapses was 3.04AE1.4. Follow-up and compliance were good in 28.6% of cases. The average number of hospitalizations was 3.04AE1.4. The average of quality of life in patients with schizophrenia was 21AE5.74. The quality of life was affected with age (p=0.023), with the high number of relapses and with a higher number of hospitalizations in psychiatric hospital (p=0.008). Quality of life was improved with regular follow-up and good adherence to the treatment (p=0.000).
Conclusions: The quality of life in mental disorders was impaired mainly in schizophrenics, hence the need to evaluate in a codified way the quality of life of our patients in order to raise awareness among general practitioners as well as psychiatrists to improve the therapeutic and social care of patients. Introduction: Conceptualising Schneider's first-rank symptoms (FRS) as a diagnostic test whose performance can be measured in terms of sensitivity and specificity involves some issues that require reflection. The first formal proposal was contained in a 1939 monograph Schneider wrote, but little is known of their prehistory. In recent years there has been renewed interest in their clinical value.
Objectives: This work aims to review the the diagnostic the evolution and diagnostic accuracy of FRS.
