P < 0.001 and t = 13.56, P < 0.001 respectively).
Results also indicated the effectiveness of occupational
therapy in subscales of negative symptoms such as
thought, apathy, attention, avolition, anhedonia, and
total score. In positive symptoms, this intervention was
effective in hallucinations, bizarre behavior, delusion,
thought disorders, and total score. In the control group
after 6 months, all subscales and overall score of SANS
and SAPS had deteriorated. Student’s t-test results also
revealed significant difference between both groups in all
dimensions after 6 months (Tables 2,3).
