 To critically analyse the impact of mental health nursing interventions in reducing the
schizophrenic symptoms in schizophrenia patients
 To critically understand the effect of standalone medications on schizophrenia patients
 To critically understand the importance of implementing antipsychotic medications along
with mental health nursing as co-treatment for effectively controlling schizophrenic

For the present research a systematic review will be performed by the researcher where the
researcher will be using a number of secondary databases for the gathering of the data. In this
respect, secondary databases such as PUBMED, Cochrane, ELSEVIER, MEDLINE, CINAHL, etc.
For the collection of data strict filters will be applied by the researcher, which have been grouped
under inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data gathered from the secondary sources will be used
by the researcher for thematic analysis where the similar will be grouped together. The theme
formation will help the researcher in arriving at acceptable results.
