Abstract: CACHA, JOSEPH F., GAJE, GERSON F., VIDALLON, AYESHA VALERIE A., "Perception of Psychiatric Nurses of Cavite Center for Mental Health on Manifestations of Schizophrenia". Special Problem, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Cavite State University. Indang, Cavite. April 2007. Adviser: Mrs. Vina V. Velasco R.N. The study was conducted from December 2006 up to January 2007 at Cavite Center for Mental Health (CCMH) in Trece Martires City to identify the common manifestations of schizophrenia that staff nurses perceived and frequently observed among patients at CCMH; identify the leading cases of mental disorder in Cavite Center for Mental Health; and determine the relationship between staff nurses shift of work with the manifestations of schizophrenia observed in patients. The study was conducted among 23 staff nurses, composed of four males and 19 females, between ages 30 to 53 years old. Majority of them are middle-aged. Some staff nurses have been working with Cavite Center for Mental Health for last 23 years. Less than half of the staff nurses usually worked in all shifts of duty while some of the staff nurses worked on alternate schedules. Out of 839 patients, 11 cases of mental disorders were diagnosed. These were: schizophrenia (83.3%), vagrant psychosis (5%), bipolar disorders (5%), substance abuse disorders (2%), depression disorder (0.8%), epilepsy with psychosis (0.7%), mood disorders (0.7%), organic brain syndrome (0.2%) and mental and behavioral disorder (0.1%), anxiety disorder (0.1%) and methamphetamine abuse (0.1%). The manifestations of schizophrenia that staff nurses frequently observed in patients were categorized based on their frequency of observation. Manifestations that were always observed by staff nurses are self-care deficit and perceptual distortions. Those that were often observed are social withdrawal, delusions, and altered thought process and language and communication disturbance. In addition, the only manifestation of schizophrenia that staff nurses observed sometimes is motor activity manifestations. The most common manifestation of schizophrenia that the staff nurses frequently observed in patients is self-care deficit. There was no significant correlation between the usual shift of work and time of duty with the manifestations of schizophrenia observed by staff nurses in patients. These manifestations are not affected by the usual shift of work of staff nurses.
