Background:Understanding the risk factors associated with violence among patients with schizophrenia is essential for effective management and intervention strategies. This study aimed to explore various socio-demographic, psychopathological, and behavioral factors contributing to violent behavior in this population.Methods:A case-control study was conducted among 100 patients with schizophrenia, divided into violent (n=50) and non-violent (n=50) groups. Socio-demographic data, symptom severity (PANSS scores), and alcohol use (AUDIT scores) were assessed. Statistical analysis included chi-square tests and student's t-tests.Result:Significant gender disparity was observed (χ2 = 12.398, p < 0.001), with a higher proportion of males in the violent group. Marital status showed a significant difference (χ2 = 8.20, p = 0.042), with more widowed and separated individuals in the violent group. Mean PANSS scores were significantly higher in the violent group (22.46 ± 4.087) compared to the non-violent group (15.96 ± 9.320, p < 0.001). AUDIT scores were also significantly higher in the violent group (10.48 ± 10.242) compared to the non-violent group (5.08 ± 6.685, p = 0.002).Conclusion:The study highlights the complex interplay of socio-demographic, psychopathological, and behavioral factors in contributing to violence among patients with schizophrenia, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive assessment and targeted interventions.
