Mastery in patients with schizophrenia living in the community: relationship to sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, needs for care and support, and social network

BENGTSSON‐TOPS, A.·2004·Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing

Abstract

In line with user involvement and empowerment in individuals who suffer from a severe mental illness, the sense of mastery is important. Few studies have investigated factors that contribute to mastery in individuals with schizophrenia. The aims of the present 18‐month follow‐up study were to investigate associations between mastery and clinical and sociodemographic factors, needs for care and support and social network, and to investigate whether changes in mastery were related to changes with regard to these aspects in a group of patients (n = 120) with schizophrenia living in the community. Structural interviews were performed at baseline and after 18 months. Pearlin's mastery scale, the Camberwell Assessment of Needs (CAN), the Interview Schedule for Social Interaction (ISSI), and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) were used on both interview occasions. A stepwise regression analysis showed a negative relationship between psychopathology, especially affective and negative symptoms, and mastery. Stronger mastery was associated with younger age and less severe basic needs. In total psychopathology, age and basic needs explained 50.7% of the variance in mastery. Changes in mastery were positively correlated to changes in access to social contact but negatively correlated to changes in affective symptoms. In order to target mastery in individuals with schizophrenia, the community‐based nursing services need to develop, implement, and evaluate interventions that are effective for psychiatric symptoms, social skills performance, and needs for care and support in areas of living, nutrition, and daytime activities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
