简要总结
To examine the effects of calligraphy activity on symptoms, attention, emotion, and quality of life in people with schizophrenia. We hypothesized that through a six-month intervention using calligraphy activity, people with schizophrenia will have their symptoms decreased, attention improved, emotion enhanced, and quality of life increased. This study will adopt single-blind, randomized controlled trial, and 160 people with schizophrenia will be recruited in this study. They will be randomly assigned to either a calligraphy activity group (treatment group; n=80) or an occupational activity group (control group; n=80). Participants will complete assessments at pretest, posttest, and 3-month follow-up using the following instruments: Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Chu's Attention Test, The Taiwanese version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-T), WHO questionnaire on the Quality of Life, Brief Form (WHOQOL-BREF), and Chinese Depression Anxiety Stress Scales(DASS21).

结局指标
主要结局
Changes in emotion
时间窗: Changes from baseline, end of study (3 months after baseline), and 6 months after baseline
Emotion is assessed using self-report of Chinese Depression Anxiety Stress Scale. The scale includes three subscales: depression (score range 0-21; higher score indicates higher depression), anxiety (score range 0-21; higher score indicates higher anxiety), and stress (score range 0-21; higher score indicates higher stress).
Changes in attention
时间窗: Changes from baseline, end of study (3 months after baseline), and 6 months after baseline
Attention is assessed using Chu's Attention Test. The test contains 200 items and is assessed in 10 minutes with two scores calculated: correct number (answered number-number of error answer); rate of correct number (correct number divided by answered number). Higher scores in correct number and rate of correct number indicate better attention.
Changes in syndrome
时间窗: Changes from baseline, end of study (3 months after baseline), and 6 months after baseline
Symptoms are assessed using Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale. The scale includes three subscales: positive symptom (score range 7-49; higher score indicates more positive symptoms), negative symptoms (score range 7-49; higher score indicates more negative symptoms), and general psychopathology (score range 16-112; higher score indicates more general symptoms).
Changes in cognition
时间窗: Changes from baseline, end of study (3 months after baseline), and 6 months after baseline
Cognition is assessed using Taiwanese version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment. The score range of the scale is between 0 and 30, a higher score indicates better cognition.
Changes in quality of life
时间窗: Changes from baseline, end of study (3 months after baseline), and 6 months after baseline
Quality of life is assessed using WHO questionnaire on the Quality of Life, Brief Form. The scale includes four subscales: physical (score range 4-20; higher score indicates better physical quality of life); psychological (score range: 4-20; higher score indicates better psychological quality of life); social (score range: 4-20; higher score indicates better social quality of life); environment (score range: 4-20; higher score indicates better environment quality of life).
