“…This method was not used in the present study because a majority of patients with schizophrenia (70% or more) have cognitive dysfunction, including difficulties in attention, concentration, memory, language, and executive function. 33 Dialogue with subsequent agreement between co-researchers (researcher triangulation) was one of the major methods to increase trustworthiness in this study. 28 The 3 authors' combined clinical and research experience was considered to be complementary and of importance to the analysis.…”

Furthermore, cognitive functioning in psychotic disorder is associated with sociodemographic factors, such as childhood trauma and stress [ 3 ] and urban habitat [ 18 ]. Stress and altered functioning of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, with harmful effects of stress and glucocorticoids on the brain is a possible explanation for this association [ 19 ].…”

“…[15]. As seen in some past Indian studies [16], the proportion of patients of schizophrenia with cognitive impairment was estimated at 70%. Using a confidence level of 95% and an absolute precision level of 10%, we obtained a sample of 38, out of the 70 patients we expected to seek within the age group of 18 -60 years.…”
