Core Tip	This retrospective study demonstrates that an 8-week integrated intervention combining mindfulness-based stress reduction with narrative nursing significantly improves treatment adherence, reduces anxiety and depression, alleviates overall psychiatric symptoms, and enhances quality of life in patients with stable schizophrenia, compared to routine care alone. It offers a feasible and comprehensive nursing approach for clinical management of schizophrenia, with significant application value.
