Abstract

Objectives: To study the correlation prediction of psychiatric drugs, negative symptoms, positive symptoms, and stress on obesity among people with schizophrenia.


Materials and methods: The samples of this predictive correlational research consisted of 123 patients who had been diagnosed by doctors as having schizophrenia (F20) based on ICD-10 diagnostic criteria, had been receiving continuous antipsychotic medication for six months or more, were aged between 18 and 60 years, and were not in the acute phase of severe schizophrenia at the outpatient department of a hospital in Nakhon Sawan province. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, an obesity assessment form, the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS10). Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression analysis.


Results: The findings revealed that 59.3 percent of the samples were obese. The multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the factors predicting the relationship with obesity occurrence in schizophrenic patients, statistically significant at the 0.05 level, were positive symptoms (β = -.548, OR .578, 95%CI = .469 - .713, p < 0.05) and negative symptoms (β = .483, OR 1.620, 95%CI = 1.361 – 1.929, p < 0.05)


Conclusion: Schizophrenia patients are often overweight. Therefore, providing information on managing both negative and positive symptoms of mental health patients can be a strategy to reduce risk factors for obesity, which may lead to the development of a set of symptoms known as metabolic syndrome.
