Association between symptoms and quality of life in patients with schizophrenia: A pooled analysis of changes over time

The relationship between experiential deficits of negative symptoms and subjective quality of life in schizophrenia

“…The association between experiential deficits and SQOL appears to be significantly stronger than in previous studies which have examined the relationship to negative symptoms as a singular construct (Eack and Newhill, 2007;Narvaez et al, 2008;Priebe et al, 2011). In contrast to previous studies, the association between changes in experiential deficits and SQOL over time remained significant after controlling for depression (Priebe et al, 2011).…”

“…While there evidence of a strong association between negative symptoms and objective quality of life (OQOL) (Ho et al, 1998;Hunter and Barry, 2012;Milev et al, 2005;Whitty et al, 2008), only a weak association between negative symptoms and subjective quality of life (SQOL) has previously been found (Eack and Newhill, 2007;Fitzgerald et al, 2001;Narvaez et al, 2008;Priebe et al, 2011). This may be because SQOL is determined by multiple processes, including the comparison between expectations and aspirations, a comparison with others, and adaptation over time, all of which may result in a less negative appraisal by individuals with chronic schizophrenia (Priebe, 2007).…”

“…We tested the hypothesis that the association between negative symptoms and SQOL will relate exclusvely to experiential deficits, both cross sectionally and over time. We hypothesised that this relationship would remain after controlling for depressive symptoms, which is important given the association between low mood and SQOL (Eack and Newhill, 2007;Priebe et al, 2011). With evidence to suggest that the relationship between SQOL and symptoms may be different between men and women (Röder-Wanner and Priebe, 1998), and between those with a long and short illness duration (Priebe et al, 2000), a comparison between these groups was also considered.…”

Outcomes of inpatients with severe mental illness: a naturalistic descriptive study

“…Evidence suggests that QoL can be regarded as an independent outcome criterion unrelated to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (especially mania) symptoms given that the extent of association is too small. 30 It is therefore necessary to confirm the validity of self-assessed instruments in psychotic patients. A literature review of studies on schizophrenic patients concluded that QoL is a valid and useful outcome criterion.…”

Analysis on the Effect of the Cognitive therapy on the Recovery of the Affective Disorder

“…Cognitive behavioral therapy basic technology: (1) cognitive technology: mainly includes helping patients to understand automatic thinking, namely the application of the theory of ABC to the patients with abnormal reaction for inciting events with patients between the role of faith, so as to help patients to realize automatic thinking and influence; List the patient's distorted cognition, so as to improve their cognitive level, correct erroneous ideas; Change in patients with extreme faith; Help patients to test hypothesis, through inspection support and the evidence does not support a International Forum on Bioinformatics and Medical Engineering (BME 2015) false assumption, help patients know the truth, find themselves cognitive distortion and negative one-sided attitude towards things; Positive self-talk law requires patients to their own negative thoughts, put forward the idea of positive; Homework method such as the patient record in note form one's own thinking and the analysis of the thinking, so as to achieve correct cognitive way. (2) behavior have daily activity plan, arrange some activities can be done to the patient, every hour of every day in a planned way and task, the difficulty of the activities and requirements with the patient's ability and improve and improve mood; Difficulty and feelings evaluation technology, often combined with daily activity plan, use fill in the form of daily activity records, let patients to patients found problems, analyzing problems and encourage its solve problems; , a sequence of relaxation training method, in conjunction with the music of the guide patients to relax certain parts, in turn to fully experience the feelings of tension and relaxation.…”
