dc.description.abstractBackground: Studies have shown that impaired social functioning can be much more severe and destructive than psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia. In this context, it may be important to identify areas that are effective for social functionality, and where intervention is necessary to promote and develop competencies. In the current study, the aim was to investigate the relationship between olfactory functions and empathic abilities and their impact on impaired social functionality in individuals with schizophrenia. Methods: Fifty-one healthy controls and 48 patients with schizophrenia were included in the study. Sniffin' Sticks Test and Questionaire of Cognitive and Affective Empathy Scale (QCEA) were given to all participants. In addition, the Personal and Social Performance (PSP) Scale was given to the patients. Results: There was a significant difference in terms of the mean scores of total odor (p<0.001), odor discrimination/identification (p<0.001), and also there was a significant difference in terms of the mean score of total empathy (p=0.05) and some sub-dimensions (p=0.05 for perspective taking and p=0.01 for cognitive empathy). In post-hoc analysis performed based on the duration of the illness; it was found that duration of illness had a moderating effect in the relationship of both odor and empathy scores with social functionality (p <= 0.001 for interaction effect). In addition, odor and QCEA scores had a significant effect on PSP self-care subscale scores in patients with an illness duration over 10 years. Conclusion: Olfactory functions and empathic abilities were decreased in patients with schizophrenia. The findings of current study support that the effect of the deterioration of these abilities on the decrease in social functionality becomes evident as they became firmly established.en_US
