The study aimed to determine the level of independence and life satisfaction of individuals with diagnosed mental disorder.
The descriptive study was conducted with 108 inpatients in two public universities, medical faculty hospitals mental health and psychiatric clinics. Personal information form, Life Satisfaction Scale, and Psychiatric Patient Independence Level Scale were used for data collection tool.
Mean age of the participants was 41.8±14.1 years. 60.2% (n=65) were male, 57.4% (n=62) were 34 years and older, 58.3% (n=63) were single, and 33.3% (n=36) were diagnosed with depression. When the distribution of the mean score of the independence level was analyzed according to the individuals' characteristics, a statistically significant difference was found in terms of age, marital status, education status, medical diagnosis, and duration of treatment (p<0.05). When the distribution of life satisfaction score averages of the individuals diagnosed with mental disorder were examined according to the individuals' characteristics, there was a statistically significant difference according to the variables of medical diagnosis (p<0.05). Thus, patients with mental disorders, had moderate dependency, had a moderate level of life satisfaction, and a negative and poor correlation was found between life satisfaction and dependence (rho=-0.306; p<0.01). As a result of the regression analysis, 10.5% of the increase in life satisfaction was determined by the independence level (R=0.324; R=0.105; p<0.01).
It was concluded that the participating individuals had moderate independent and life satisfaction. The variables such as diagnosis, age, life satisfaction, and independence levels increased, and the level of dependence decreased.
本研究旨在确定被诊断患有精神障碍的个体的独立水平和生活满意度。
对两所公立大学医学院附属医院精神卫生与精神病诊所的108名住院患者进行了描述性研究。使用个人信息表、生活满意度量表和精神科患者独立水平量表作为数据收集工具。
参与者的平均年龄为41.8±14.1岁。60.2%（n=65）为男性，57.4%（n=62）年龄在34岁及以上，58.3%（n=63）为单身，33.3%（n=36）被诊断患有抑郁症。根据个体特征分析独立水平平均得分的分布时，发现年龄、婚姻状况、教育状况、医学诊断和治疗时长方面存在统计学显著差异（p<0.05）。根据个体特征检查被诊断患有精神障碍的个体的生活满意度得分平均值的分布时，根据医学诊断变量存在统计学显著差异（p<0.05）。因此，患有精神障碍的患者具有中度依赖性，生活满意度处于中等水平，且生活满意度与依赖性之间存在负向且较弱的相关性（rho=-0.306；p<0.01）。回归分析结果显示，生活满意度增加的10.5%由独立水平决定（R=0.324；R=0.105；p<0.01）。
得出的结论是，参与研究的个体具有中等程度的独立性和生活满意度。诊断、年龄、生活满意度和独立水平等变量增加，而依赖程度降低。
