摘要
Many illness-related factors contribute to the reduction of the real-life functioning observed in people with schizophrenia (SZ). These include the psychopathological dimensions of the disorder such as positive, negative, disorganization, and depressive symptoms as well as impairment in neurocognition, social cognition, and metacognition. The associations between some of these variables change with the duration of illness (DOI), but this aspect was not explored with a network approach. This study aimed at describing and comparing the inter-relationships between psychopathological, cognitive, and functioning variables in early (DOI ≤ 5 years) and late (DOI > 5 years) phase SZ with network analyses and at assessing which variables were more strictly and directly associated with the real-life functioning. A network representation of the relationships between variables and the calculation of centrality indices were performed within each group. The two groups were compared with a network comparison test. Seventy-five patients with early and ninety-two with late phase SZ were included. No differences in the global network structure and strength were found between the two groups. In both groups, visual learning and disorganization exhibited high centrality indices and disorganization, negative symptoms, and metacognition were directly and strongly associated with real-life functioning. In conclusion, regardless of the DOI, a rehabilitation aimed at improving visual learning and disorganization (i.e., the most central variables) might reduce the strength of the associations that compose the network and therefore indirectly facilitate functional recovery. Simultaneously, therapeutic interventions targeting disorganization and metacognition might directly improve real-life functioning.
