对两组精神分裂症患者进行比较，以确定教育患者了解精神分裂症及其治疗的效果。其中一组完成了为期三周的教育计划，而另一组则参与了通常的病房活动。比较两组在三种工具(经验世界量表、阴性症状评定量表、疾病知识与资源量表)上的前后测分数显示，实验组对疾病的认识显著增加，精神分裂症的阴性症状显著减少。两组精神分裂症阳性症状的变化差异无统计学意义。结果表明，严重精神疾病患者可以学习和记忆信息，教育慢性病患者关于他们的疾病可以帮助改善他们的功能。
Two groups of schizophrenic patients were compared to determine the effects of educating patients about schizophrenia and its treatment. One group completed a three-week educational program while the other was involved in the usual ward activities. Comparison of the groups' pretest and posttest scores on three instruments (the Experiential World Inventory, the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms, and the Knowledge of Illness and Resources Inventory) revealed the experimental group had a significant increase in knowledge of the illness and a significant decrease in the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. No significant difference was found between the groups in change in the positive symptoms of schizophrenia. The results suggest that severely psychiatrically ill patients can learn and retain information and that educating chronic patients about their illness can help improve their functioning.
