To compare subjective quality of life (QOL) and objective QOL indicators in patients with schizophrenia from five European sites: Amsterdam, Copenhagen, London, Santander and Verona.
A representative sample of 404 patients with schizophrenia, in contact with mental health services, was randomly selected and evaluated with the Lancashire Quality of Life Profile (EU).
The level of satisfaction in certain domains, religion, family and social relations appears to be associated with local style of living and culture while work, finances, and safety were more independent from local variations. In addition to the severity of symptoms, frequency of contacts with family, friendship and age appear as predictors of QOL, all of them influenced by the characteristics of the surroundings.
The centres participating in the study presented differences in subjective measures of QOL, objective indicators and also in service provision and styles of living.
比较来自欧洲五个地点（阿姆斯特丹、哥本哈根、伦敦、桑坦德和维罗纳）的精神分裂症患者的主观生活质量（QOL）和客观QOL指标。
随机选取404名与心理健康服务机构有接触的精神分裂症患者作为代表性样本，并用《兰开夏生活质量量表》（欧盟版）进行评估。
在某些领域，如宗教、家庭和社会关系方面的满意度水平似乎与当地的生活方式和文化相关，而工作、财务和安全则较少受当地差异的影响。除了症状的严重程度外，与家人的联系频率、友谊和年龄也是生活质量的预测因素，所有这些都受到周围环境特征的影响。
参与研究的各中心在生活质量的主观测量、客观指标以及服务提供和生活方式方面存在差异。
