Learning Objective 1: The learner will be able to acknowledge the relationship of social interaction and cooperation of Schizophrenia patients.
Learning Objective 2: The learner will be able to have better understanding that social interaction of student nurses play a vital role in the cooperation of Schizophrenia patients.
Purpose: Mental disorder is prevalent all over the world as found by the World Mental Health- Composite International Diagnostic Interview survey. It was approximated that 450 million people are undergoing mental and neurologic disorders worldwide. Among these mental disorders, Schizophrenia is the most common disorder with psychotic symptoms and ranks in the top 10 for disease burden. In the Philippines, majority of the mentally ill patients, including those with Schizophrenia, are rehabilitated in mental institutions and home cares under a controlled environment. This made the researchers realize to explore about how student nurses, being part of their environment, contribute in treatment, and to find out if the frequency of social interaction of student nurse is essential to the cooperation of patients with Schizophrenia.
Methods: A Quantitative, Non – Experimental, Cross – Sectional, Descriptive, Correlational Design was used to evaluate the level of cooperation during the routine activities of patients with Schizophrenia as assessed by the staff nurses of different home cares with the use of a face validated checklist. A non - probability purposive sampling of thirty-five (35) out of sixty-eight (68) patients with Schizophrenia in different home cares, who passed the criteria of the study, were included.
Results: Overall, both low and high frequency projected a negative low to positive low correlations.
Conclusion: There is a low significant relationship between the frequency of social interaction and cooperation of patients with Schizophrenia.
