The objective of this study was to clarify the relationships between socio-demographics, clinical characteristics, stressors, coping strategies, social support and quality of life (QOL) in 143 patients with a diagnosis of either schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders. The research design is cross-sectional with repeated measures on the same subjects after a 6-month interval. A regression analysis generated a model that accounts for 50% of the variance in QOL at Time 1 and 43% at Time 2. The best predictors of QOL were two components of social support: attachment and reassurance of worth. Severity of daily hassles, the coping strategy of changing the situation, level of education and life-time hospitalization length were also related to QOL.
本研究的目的是阐明143例被诊断为精神分裂症或分裂情感性障碍患者的社会人口统计学、临床特征、应激源、应对策略、社会支持与生活质量(QOL)之间的关系。研究设计为横断面研究,在6个月的间隔后对同一受试者进行重复测量。回归分析生成了一个模型,该模型在时间1解释了生活质量方差的50%,在时间2解释了43%。生活质量的最佳预测因素是社会支持的两个组成部分:情感依附和价值肯定。日常烦恼的严重程度、改变现状的应对策略、教育水平和终生住院时间也与生活质量有关。
