Purpose:
We aimed to examine whether neurocognition in individuals with nonremitted schizophrenia differed between inpatients and outpatients.
Design And Methods:
We recruited 59 inpatients and 41 patients with nonremitted schizophrenia (assessed with the Andreason criteria), and neurocognitive functions were compared between both, controlling for demographics, psychiatric symptoms.
Findings:
Outpatients with nonremitted schizophrenia performed better on tests of processing speed, visual attention, and working memory than did inpatients with nonremitted.
Practice Implications:
To facilitate discharge for nonremitted inpatients, nursing could focus on processing speed, e.g., arranging the environment such that patients do not need quick responses.
