Abstract
- This study aims to verify the mediating role of resilience between self-esteem and mental disability and to analyze the moderating role of gender in the relationship between resilience and mental disability in patients with schizophrenia. Patients with schizophrenia have been selected from Harbin Psychiatric (Baiyupao) Hospital and Daqing Third Hospital in Heilongjiang Province from January to December 2021. The study recruited a total of 220 patients with schizophrenia, including 120 males and 100 females to measure their self-esteem, resilience and mental disability. The results were as follows: Self-esteem and resilience are important protective factors that have a buffering effect on mental disability. The mediating effect of resilience on self-esteem and mental disability is stronger in males than in females. The results provide new ideas for delaying mental disability and for formulating intervention programs and applying them to clinical practice. The study indicates that psychiatric medical staff should not only treat the patients with schizophrenia psychotic symptoms but also improve their self-esteem and resilience through effective intervention to reduce the occurrence of mental disability.
