FACTOR OF M USICAL EAR AND PECULIARITIES OF NEGATIVE SYMPTOMS OF SCHIZOPHRENIA
Journal Title: Праці Наукового товариства ім. Шевченка - Year 2015, Vol 43, Issue 2
Abstract
Our study compared the course o f illness in two equal groups o f patients with or without musical ear (totally - 40 patients) who were diagnosed with ICD-X schizophrenia. The two groups were compared for differences in negative symptoms by means of 16-item Negative Symptom Assessment (NSA-16). Data analysis indicates that the level of negative symptoms o f the two groups is significantly different. Patients with musical ear showed a low level o f negative symptoms according to NSA-16 (P< 0.05); patients without musical ear showed a higher level o f negative symptoms according to NSA-16 (P< 0.05). These data indicate that negative symptoms o f schizophrenia in patients with musical ear are distinct from the negative symptoms o f schizophrenia in patients without the musical ear. Tests o f this hypothesis could result in novel approaches to the examination o f musical skills o f schizophrenic patients for better prognosis o f the course o f the disease, especially for prognosis o f negative symptoms. Clinical significance o f the result could be one of the reliable criteria for prognosis of negative symptoms o f schizophrenia.
