Sponsor's own description

Social impairment is one of the core symptoms in first episode psychosis (FEP). Despite negative symptoms and social cognition impairment found in patient suffering from FEP, clinicians occasionally identified socially inappropriate behaviours (SIB) after onset and stabilization of psychotic disorder. It is also uncommon that some caregivers often complain about their relatives with psychosis of embarrassing and immature behaviour. SIB mainly observed in form of excessive emotional expression, childish behaviour and regressive behaviour. There is limited research focusing on this inadequate behavioural pattern in patient with first episode psychosis recently. It was worth investigating this phenomenon and gain more understanding in other comorbidity symptoms and caregiving distress arisen from this. Psychometric tests and validated assessment tools are well-developed for measuring positive symptoms, negative symptoms, neurocognitive deficits and social cognition impairment in schizophrenic patients but none of them is useful specifically for assessing SIB, and not to mention, from carer's perspective. It could be an obstacle for clinicians to investigate the phenomena of the prevalence and the impact on family in real life without any validated assessment tools or questionnaires. This qualitative study aims to identify the SIB in patients with FEP and to explore the caregiving experience and distress. Hopefully, this study may help designing a questionnaire for future exploration on this topic.
