虽然社交技能训练(SST)是提高精神分裂症患者社交技能的有效途径，但动机缺陷会削弱其效果。虚拟现实(VR)的应用使智障人士能够增强他们康复的动力。我们比较了使用VR角色扮演的SST(SST-VR)和使用传统角色扮演的SST(SST-TR)。这项随机对照试验包括91名住院精神分裂症患者，他们被分配到SST-VR(n=46)或SST-TR(n=45)。两组都接受了超过10次的半周小组治疗。一位经验丰富的盲人评分者评估了发声、非语言和对话技能。我们还获得了关于SST动机和各种社会能力的数据。在10个疗程中，SST-VR组(n=33)比SST-TR组(n=31)对SST和技能概括表现出更大的兴趣。在SST后，SST-VR组在会话技能和自信方面比SST-TR组有更大的进步，但在非语言技能方面进步较小。将虚拟现实技术应用于精神分裂症SST的角色扮演，可能通过其在增强SST动机和技能泛化方面的优势，在提高会话技能和自信方面特别有益，因此它可能是对传统SST的有益补充。(C)2011爱思唯尔爱尔兰有限公司。保留所有权利。
Although social skills training (SST) is an effective approach for improving social skills for schizophrenia, the motivational deficit attenuates its efficacy. Virtual reality (VR) applications have allowed individuals with mental disabilities to enhance their motivation for rehabilitations. We compared SST using VR role-playing (SST-VR) to SST using traditional role-playing (SST-TR). This randomized, controlled trial included 91 inpatients with schizophrenia who were assigned to either SST-VR (n=46) or SST-TR (n=45). Both groups were administered over 10 semiweekly group sessions. An experienced, blinded rater assessed vocal, nonverbal and conversational skills. We also obtained data on motivation for SST and various social abilities. Throughout the 10 sessions, the SST-VR group (n=33) showed greater interest in SST and generalization of the skills than the SST-TR group (n=31). After SST, the SST-VR group improved more in conversational skills and assertiveness than the SST-TR group, but less in nonverbal skills. The VR application in role-plays of SST for schizophrenia may be particularly beneficial in terms of improving the conversational skills and assertiveness, possibly through its advantages in enhancing motivation for SST and generalization of the skills, and thus it may be a useful supplement to traditional SST.
