| Research Abstract |
We conducted a comparative study of symptoms and social adjustment of schizophrenic patients on offshore islands and one urban region in Japan. In the evaluation of symptoms and social behavior by family members. No differences were observed between the two regions. Looking at social adjustment in the two regions, no differences were observed' by family members either in the performance level or in the expectation level of socially expected activities. However, on the offshore islands. The expectation level of socially expected activities by family members was significantly higher than the level of self-accomplishment set by schizophrenic patients themselves. As for leisure activities, both family members and patients on the islands evaluated the level of performance to be significantly higher than in the urban region, and the level of satisfaction of the patients themselves was also higher on the islands.
Considering both these findings and Japanese traditional views of work and leisure, it is believed that on the islands patients are require to engage in more productive activities and less leisure activities than in the urban region. Further it seems that patients on the islands compared to patients in the urban region may have greater difficulty in social adjustment.
