The present study is part of a larger project investigating occupational engagement and health in a group of people with schizophrenia. This study was aimed at extending this knowledge base with regard to occupational engagement and sociodemographic factors. Seventy-four outpatients participated in the study. The Profile of Occupational Engagement in People with Schizophrenia, the Lancashire Quality of Life Profile scale and a standardized questionnaire were used to gather data. Contrary to what was expected, occupational engagement was not associated with a certain type of schizophrenia, being younger or older, or gender. The results showed that a high level of occupational engagement was related to greater satisfaction with the participants' social and living situation, having a reliable alliance and a close friend, school-leaving age, living in a flat, and working or studying. Satisfaction with living independently, having had a recent experience of accomplishment, and working together explained 55% of the variance in occupational engagement. Occupational therapists should thus focus on and promote social engagement appropriate to the client's level of engagement, the client's opportunity and ability to work, his/her experience of accomplishment, and, most importantly, satisfaction with the home and living situation.
本研究是一个更大项目的一部分，该项目旨在调查一组精神分裂症患者的职业参与度和健康状况。本研究旨在扩展关于职业参与度和社会人口学因素的知识库。74名门诊患者参与了该研究。使用精神分裂症患者职业参与度概况、兰开夏郡生活质量概况量表和一份标准化问卷来收集数据。与预期相反，职业参与度与精神分裂症的特定类型、年龄大小或性别无关。结果表明，高水平的职业参与度与参与者对其社会和生活状况的更高满意度、拥有可靠的联盟和亲密朋友、离校年龄、居住在公寓以及工作或学习有关。对独立生活的满意度、近期有成就感的经历以及合作解释了职业参与度差异的55%。因此，职业治疗师应关注并促进与客户的参与水平相适应的社会参与、客户的工作机会和能力、其成就感，以及最重要的是对家庭和生活状况的满意度。
