Abstract

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the activities of daily living (ADL) in inpatients with schizophrenia by using the functional independence measure (FIM) and to clarify the difficulty, the similarity and the relation among ADL. Subjects consisted of 131 randomized controlled trials of 478 in patients with schizophrenia of Tokyo Metropolitan Matsuzawa Hospital as of October, 2000. The difficulty in ADL was judged from the mean value and the standard deviation of each item. The similarity and the relation among ADL were clarified by the cluster analysis. As a result, 18 items were categoriezed into three clusters. The difficulty and the structure of ADL in patients with schizophrenia were different from those of patients without schizophrenia. We presumed that there was a close relation between the motor function and the psychological function. It is necessary to make the program for each cluster for improving ADL of patients with schizophrenia.<br>
