中国精神分裂症认知功能的研究进展(英文)

Research progress in China on the assessment of cognitive function in schizophrenia

认知功能障碍-精神分裂症的核心症状之一-已经成为国内外研究精神分裂症的热点。它不仅反映了疾病的严重程度,而且是精神分裂症功能预后的重要影响因素,因为认知功能损害的程度对患者的独立生活能力以及他们的就业和社会功能都会有影响。国内最早的精神分裂症认知功能研究可以追溯到上个世纪七十年代晚期。近年来,由于新的信息的出现,例如神经影像技术的进步,国内涌现了大量研究。本文在对国内既往研究进行综述的基础上提出了精神分裂症认知功能的未来研究方向。

Cognitive impairment - one of the core symptoms of schizophrenia - has become a focus of research about schizophrenia in China and elsewhere. The main reason for the interest in cognitive functioning is that the degree of cognitive impairment is associated both with the current severity of the illness and with the prognosis of the illness; cognitive functioning directly affects individuals＇ ability to live independently and their occupational and social functioning. The first study on cognitive function in schizophrenia in China was conducted in the late 1970s; more recently there has been a resurgence of interest in the area because of new information that has emerged as neuroimaging technologies have improved. The current review summarizes studies on cognitive impairment in schizophrenia conducted in China and proposes directions for future research in this area.
