Schizophrenia is recognised as a major mental illness and is prevalent in approximately 1% of the global population. This paper reviewed literature published between 2001 and 2013 to explore the aetiology of schizophrenia and discuss implications for mental health nursing practice. Although the causes of schizophrenia are largely unknown, there is a strong correlation between identified physiological and environmental markers and the development of the disease. With this knowledge, mental health nurses can potentially contribute to the development of strategies and approaches to complement current treatments, and therefore ensure improved outcomes for mental health clients.
精神分裂症被公认为一种主要的精神疾病，全球约1%的人口受其影响。本文回顾了2001年至2013年间发表的文献，以探讨精神分裂症的病因，并讨论其对精神卫生护理实践的启示。虽然精神分裂症的病因大多不明，但已确定的生理和环境指标与该疾病的发展之间存在很强的相关性。基于这一认识，精神卫生护士有可能为制定补充当前治疗方法的策略和途径做出贡献，从而确保改善精神卫生患者的治疗效果。
