Methods A total of 98 patients with schizophrenia during recovery period were selected as the research subjects, and they were divided into study group and control group according to the random number table method, with 49 cases in each group. Control group was given routine nursing, and study group was combined with group calligraphy and painting on the basis of control group. Before intervention and after 3 months of intervention, the cognitive level [Chinese Cognitive Ability Scale (CCAS)], self-efficacy [General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES)], hope level [Herth Hope Inventory (HHI)], self-acceptance [Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (SAQ)] and social function [Scale of Social Function for Psychosis Inpatients( (SSPI)] were compared between the two groups. Results After 3 months of intervention, the scores of CCAS, GSES, HHI, SAQ and SSPI in study group were higher than those before intervention (P<0.05), and were higher than those in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Group calligraphy and painting can help improve the cognitive level, self-efficacy and social function, establish a high hope level, and strengthen the self-acceptanceof patients with schizophrenia during recovery period.
