en: Female-specific menstrual-associated symptoms are regarded as a factor to lower psychological well-being. The purpose of the current study was to clarify the relationship between psychologocal well-being and menstrual-associated symptoms. We conducted an anonymous survey using self-report questionnaires, in which the MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey version1.2 (SF-36) and the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) were administered to 382 female university students in order to evaluate health-related quality of life and menstrual-associated symptoms respectively. Data from 311 subjects were analyzed to investigate the relationship between the two scales before, during and after menstruation and in strong and weak menstrual-associated symptoms groups. There were significant negative correlations between the SF-36 subscale `vitality' and the MDQ subscale `negative affect' before and during menstruation. In the strong menstrual-associated symptoms group, significant negative correlations were found between subscales of the SF-36 and the MDQ before, during and after menstruation, suggesting that psychological symptoms of menstrual-associated symptoms might influence their physical and psychological quality of life. We concludes that to examine coping methods in order to reduce psychological symptoms and to provide individualized education are necessary.


en: Relationship between quality of life and clinical factors in inpatients with schizophrenia

en: The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between quality of life (QOL) and clinical factors in inpatients with schizophrenia. Subjects were 50 hospitalized patients with schizophrenia. Their mean age was 56.48 (Standard Deviation=11.93) years. Japanese version of the schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (JSQLS) and Subjective Well-being under Neuroleptic drug Treatment Short form, Japanese version (SWNS-J) were used to assess subjective QOL, and Mini Mental State Examination-Japanese was used to evaluate cognitive function. Japanese version of the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (JCDSS), Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, and Drug-Induced Extrapyramidal Symptoms Scale were used to assess depression severity, psychotic symptoms, and drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms, respectively. Stepwise regression analyses were conducted to find factors influencing JSQLS and SWNS-J. JCDSS was a predictor of two scales of JSQLS, and JCDSS also predicted SWNS-J Total and it's two subscales. However, other clinical factors were not related to JSQLS and SWNS-J. The results indicate that treating depressive symptoms may lead to improvement of subjective QOL in inpatients with schizophrenia. J. Med. Invest. 69 : 80-85, February, 2022.

en: Characteristics of psychiatric nurses observation techniques for psychopathological symptoms

en: The purpose of this study was to clarify characteristics of psychiatric nurses' observation techniques for psychopathological symptoms. The subjects were 21 psychiatric nurses and 20 nursing students who had finished their practicum in psychiatric nursing. Using a non-contact eye-tracking analysis system, we compared quantitatively their radial motion while they were observing psychopathological symptoms of a schizophrenia simulation patient. The radial motion of them was recorded while they were observing a video of a simulated patient presenting psychopathological symptoms, and the recording was analyzed by the eye-tracking system. The investigator set the important observation areas and determined the sum of the fixation time and the number of fixations in the areas. Differences between psychiatric nurses and nursing students were tested using the Mann-Whitney U-test. The results revealed a significant difference in observation of the upper limbs area with a median of 7147.90 msec for nurses group and a median of 2447.54 msec for students group (U = 98.00, p = 0.01). The finding suggests that nurses tend to pay more attention to patient's upper limbs to be cautious about possible violence and to find agitation caused by psychopathological symptoms, extrapyramidal adverse effects, and scars caused by self-mutilation.
