Our aim in this study was to identify affective temperament differences utilizing the TEMPS-A in a large sample size of Lebanese patients with schizophrenia and compare them to healthy controls. Gender differences, demographic factors and degree of psychotic symptoms were also considered. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Psychiatric Hospital of the Cross (PHC) from March to June 2019. Two-hundred fifty chronic patients with schizophrenia were compared to 250 healthy controls randomly chosen from the general population.
Patients with schizophrenia significantly had higher mean depressive, cyclothymic, irritable and anxious temperament scores compared to healthy controls. Healthy controls significantly had a higher mean hyperthymic temperament score compared to patients with schizophrenia. In the group of patients with schizophrenia exclusively, females scored higher in terms of depressive, cyclothymic and anxious temperaments compared to males. In the group of healthy controls, males scored higher in terms of hyperthymic and irritable temperaments compared to females, whereas a higher mean depressive and anxious temperament scores were significantly found in females compared to males. In addition, higher PANSS total scores, as well as higher positive, negative and general subscales scores were significantly associated with higher depressive, cyclothymic, irritable and anxious temperament scores.
本研究旨在利用 TEMPS-A 在大量黎巴嫩精神分裂症患者中识别情感气质差异，并将其与健康对照组进行比较。还考虑了性别差异、人口统计学因素和精神病症状严重程度。这项横断面研究于 2019 年 3 月至 6 月在十字山精神病院（PHC）进行。将 250 名慢性精神分裂症患者与从普通人群中随机选择的 250 名健康对照进行比较。
与健康对照组相比，精神分裂症患者的抑郁、环性、易激惹和焦虑气质评分明显更高。与精神分裂症患者相比，健康对照组的欣快气质评分明显更高。在精神分裂症患者组中，女性在抑郁、环性和焦虑气质方面的评分明显高于男性。在健康对照组中，男性在欣快和易激惹气质方面的评分明显高于女性，而女性的抑郁和焦虑气质评分明显高于男性。此外，较高的 PANSS 总分以及较高的阳性、阴性和一般分量表评分与较高的抑郁、环性、易激惹和焦虑气质评分显著相关。
