QOL (Quality of life) and Disability have been considered inevitable components of schizophrenia from the Biopsychosocial point of view. Studies from over the world have reported significantly lower levels of QOL and higher levels of disability in schizophrenia; but there are equivocal results revealing differences in levels of disability and QOL between genders in schizophrenia.
To find out the difference in the levels of QOL and disability in both the genders in schizophrenia remission.
This is cross-sectional study. Sixty patients who gave consent for their participation in the study and satisfying the criterion of remission of schizophrenia, in the age group of 18-60 years, were selected. A purposive sampling technique was used. There were 34 males and 26 females in the study sample. WHO-QOL-BREF ( World Health Organization, Quality of life BREF) and WHO-DAS (World Health Organization-Disability Assessment Schedule) were administered.
There was a statistically significant difference in the levels of QOL and disability between the genders. Higher scores of WHO-QOL-BREF were seen in the male group, and higher scores of WHO-DAS were seen in the female group.
Male group had better QOL, and the female group had higher disability.
从生物心理社会角度来看，生活质量（QOL）和残疾一直被视为精神分裂症不可避免的组成部分。世界各地的研究报告称，精神分裂症患者的生活质量水平显著较低，残疾程度较高；但也有模棱两可的结果显示，精神分裂症患者在残疾程度和生活质量水平上存在性别差异。
了解处于缓解期的精神分裂症患者中，男女在生活质量和残疾程度水平上的差异。
这是一项横断面研究。选取了60名年龄在18至60岁之间、同意参与研究且符合精神分裂症缓解标准的患者。采用了立意抽样技术。研究样本中有34名男性和26名女性。使用了世界卫生组织生活质量简表（WHO-QOL-BREF）和世界卫生组织残疾评定量表（WHO-DAS）。
男女在生活质量和残疾程度水平上存在统计学显著差异。男性组的WHO-QOL-BREF得分较高，女性组的WHO-DAS得分较高。
男性组生活质量更好，女性组残疾程度更高。
