This study investigated the remission rates in community-dwelling schizophrenia patients and examined the association between social support and remission status.

Factors influencing patient-perceived quality of care in psychiatric hospitals in Taiwan.

Patient-perceived quality of inpatient/outpatient psychiatric care remains under-researched. A cross-sectional survey with purposive sampling comprising 567 inpatients and 549 outpatients was conducted among eight psychiatric care facilities in Taiwan to examine the factors influencing patient-perceived care quality.

Trait mindfulness and depressive symptoms in non-small cell lung cancer patients: the mediating roles of quality of life and meaning in life.

The present study examined the potential mediating influences of meaning in life and quality of life in the relationship of trait mindfulness and depressive symptoms in lung cancer patients. We adopted a cross-sectional design studying a sample of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, aged 20-65 years, and receiving cancer treatments or follow-up care.

[Body Image in Schizophrenia].

Schizophrenia is a basic self-disturbance that in its early stages causes the sufferer discomfort toward feelings of self. Therefore, fragility or abnormality with regard to sense of self was a core observation of early schizophrenia theory. Rather than body-image-related depression or anorexia, disturbed body experience is the main factor affecting body image in patients with schizophrenia.
