研究目的:本研究是探討職能治療運用編織來減少患者的焦慮症狀。方法:以立意取 樣 17 名在慢性精神科病房的思覺失調症患者，分為實驗組 8 人與控制組 9 人。實驗組除 了常規病房職能團體活動，另外接受 8 週以編織活動為主的減壓團體;控制組則只接受 一般病房職能團體活動。兩組皆在實驗前後進行前後測，測驗包含簡式精神量表、貝克焦 慮量表及生活滿意度量表。統計方式以 ann- hitney test 及 ilcoxon Signed- ankTest 來分析比較兩組思覺失調症患者改善焦慮行為成效。結果:實驗組在前後測比較中發 現貝克焦慮量表 (p < .05) 達顯著改善程度，而對照組則無顯著改變。結論:職能治療透 過編織活動，更能有效來轉化思覺失調症患者的負向情緒，降低焦慮情緒。
