the relationship between Quality of life (QoL) and global functioning and symptoms in outpatients with Schizophrenia
The study was carried out on the outpatients with schizophrenia attending a Community Mental Health Centre in 2008. Each patient completed the WHO QoL Instrument - Brief and was administered the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale-24 to assess psychiatric symptoms and the VADO Personal and social Functioning Scale to assess the level of functioning.
subjects showed an intermediate satisfaction on the overall QoL and health; these data can be juxtaposed to the national standard sample rates. QoL resulted positively associated to personal and social functioning, while it was negatively related to psychiatric symptoms.
patients showed a fairly good satisfaction in regard to their QoL. The severity of psychiatric symptoms is one of the elements influencing QoL, together with personal and social functioning that plays a relevant role.
探讨精神分裂症门诊患者的生活质量（QoL）与整体功能和症状之间的关系。
该研究于 2008 年在一家社区精神卫生中心对精神分裂症门诊患者进行。每位患者都完成了世界卫生组织生活质量量表-简短版（WHO QoL Instrument - Brief），并接受了简明精神病评定量表-24（Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale-24）以评估精神症状，以及 VADO 个人和社会功能量表（VADO Personal and social Functioning Scale）以评估功能水平。
患者对整体 QoL 和健康状况的满意度处于中等水平；这些数据可与国家标准样本率进行比较。QoL 与个人和社会功能呈正相关，而与精神症状呈负相关。
患者对其 QoL 满意度相当高。精神症状的严重程度是影响 QoL 的因素之一，而个人和社会功能也起着重要作用。
