95 IMPROVEMENT OF LANGUAGE FUNCTION AND EXPRESSION ABILITY OF SCHIZOPHRENIA PATIENTS IN ONLINE AND OFFLINE MUSIC TEACHING

Abstract Background Schizophrenia patients usually show language dysfunction and difficulty in emotional expression, which has a serious impact on the social adaptation and quality of life of patients. In recent years, music therapy, as an auxiliary treatment, has been shown to have potential in improving cognitive function and emotional disorders. However, the specific improvement effect of online and offline music teaching on the language function and expression ability of patients with schizophrenia is still unclear. This study aims to evaluate the improvement effect of online and offline music teaching modes on the language function and expression ability of patients with schizophrenia, and compare the effects of the two teaching modes. Methods A total of 60 patients with schizophrenia were selected and randomly divided into an online teaching group and an offline teaching group, with 30 cases in each group. All patients underwent a baseline assessment of language function and expression ability before the start of the study, using the Language Function Scale (LFS) and the Emotional Expression Ability Scale (EEAS). The online teaching group conducted a 12-week music learning through video courses, and the offline teaching group conducted the same period of training through face-to-face classroom teaching. All patients were evaluated again after the intervention. Results The results showed that both online and offline music teaching significantly improved the language function and expression ability of patients with schizophrenia. Specific data are shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows that both online and offline music teaching can effectively improve the language function and expression ability of patients with schizophrenia. The language function score of the online teaching group increased from 45.2 points to 66.8 points, an improvement of 21.6 points. The expressive ability score increased from 42.6 points to 64.3 points. The language function score of the offline teaching group increased from 45.5 points to 72.1 points, an improvement of 26.6 points. The expressive ability score increased from 43.0 points to 70.2 points. The improvement rate of the offline teaching group was significantly higher than that of the online teaching group (P < 0.05). Discussion Research shows that music teaching, especially offline teaching mode, can significantly improve the language function and expression ability of patients with schizophrenia. Compared with online teaching, offline teaching mode helps to more effectively improve patients’ language expression ability and emotional cognitive ability through more interaction and emotional communication. The study provides effective evidence support for the application of music therapy in the rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia. Funding No. LG231758.
