The Comprehensive Evaluation of Basic Living Skill questionaire (CEBLS) was given to a group of 350 psychiatric patients, including out-patients and in-patients of Taipei City Psychiatric Center, National Taiwan University Hospital and Provincial Tao Yuan Mental Hospital, and to the other group of 60 normal persons for exploring their functional performance of daily living. Within the patients group, two hundred and fifty subjects with diagnosis of Schizophrenia and ninety patients with diagnosis of Affective Disorder. The age of range for the patients were 16-60 years old respectively. Both the patients and normal groups were at least graduate from primary school.
Result of the average test scores were significantly differences between patient group and normal person group. Mean scores of the normal subject group was 90.6 +5.2 (80-99) and 65.4–19.7(10-96) for the patient group. 70% (238) of the patients showed mild to severe deficiency in basic living skill performance.
In this study we used the F-test to compare the scores of patient group from out-patient department, day care, acute ward and chronic ward. The result indicated that scores of patients from the chronic ward was the lowest, but difference of outpatient, day care patient and acute ward patient groups were not statically significant. Outpatients with diagnosis of Schizophrenia performed more inappropriately in the basic living skills than Affective Disorder, and the average score of CEBLS of the patients with college educational level were higher than those of senior high school and junior high school patients.
