“…Our results, consistent with the literature, found a correlation between negative and positive symptom levels and quality of life (33,34). A significant negative relation was found between negative symptom level and the quality-of-life areas of instrumental role, mental findings, and personal objects and activities; between positive symptom level and quality of life, only in the instrumental area a significant negative relation was found.…”

Quality of life and depression in schizophrenia patients living in a nursing homeObjective: Nursing homes are seen as alternative housing for patients with schizophrenia. However, it has not yet been established how suitable this accommodation is for schizophrenia patients. First aim of this study is to assess the quality of life and depression level in schizophrenic patients and compare this data with that of patients living with their families. Second aim is to assess factors related to the quality of living and depression state in all participants of this study. Method: This is a cross-sectional study conducted with patients presenting to the Psychotic Disorders Policlinic of the Beyhekim Psychiatric Clinic of Konya Training and Research Hospital consecutively between December 2012 and May 2013 who had received a diagnosis of schizophrenia according to DSM IV-TR. All participants were administered a sociodemographic data form, Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS), and Quality of Life Scale for Schizophrenia Patients (QLSSP). Results: CDSS scores were found to be significantly increased in schizophrenic patients living in nursing homes. Their QLSSP scores, including interpersonal relations, occupational role, mental symptoms, personal belongings/activity scores, and total scores were statistically significantly low. A significant negative correlation was observed between negative symptom levels and occupational area, mental findings, and the personal belongings/activity areas of quality of life. Between positive symptom levels and quality of life, only scores in the occupational area showed a significant negative correlation. A significant negative correlation between CSDS and QLS was observed in all areas. Conclusion: Quality of life and depression need to be evaluated in all schizophrenia patients, as they are conditions that significantly affect treatment and prognosis.

Ancak bu tür yerlerin şizofreni hastaları için ne kadar uygun olduğu sorusu henüz cevaplandırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın birinci amacı bakımevlerinde yaşayan şizofreni hastalarının yaşam kalitesini ve depresyon düzeylerini değerlendirmek ve ailesiyle yaşayan hastalarla karşılaştırmaktı. İkinci amacı ise çalışmaya alınan tüm hastaların yaşam kalitesi ve depresyon durumlarıyla ilişkili faktörlerin değerlendirilmesiydi.

“…The means of global well-being and satisfaction with six domains (the family and work domains were excluded because too many patients had no contact with their family or didn't work) were taken as indicators for subjective quality of life. Psychometric properties of this mean score have been shown to be satisfactory (Kaiser and Priebe, in press;Kaiser et al, 1997).…”

“…Subjective quality of life is known to be influenced by several factors, including the degree of observer-rated psychopathology. The correlations, however, are weak, so that subjective quality of life is regarded as a separate criterion (Corrigan and Buican, 1995;Kaiser et al, 1996Kaiser et al, , 1997Lehman, 1983Lehman, , 1996Lehman et al, 1982;Oliver et al, 1996;Priebe et al, in press;Warner and Huxley, 1993).…”

Four subjective evaluation criteria-self-rated symptoms, subjective quality of life, self-rated needs, and patients' assessment of treatment-were examined to determine whether they reflect distinct constructs and to what extent they are correlated. The four criteria were assessed in 90 newly admitted schizophrenia patients, 170 long-term-hospitalized schizophrenia patients, 154 patients with alcoholism admitted for the short term, and 68 patients with alcoholism in longterm rehabilitation, using identical instruments. The four criteria show substantial intercorrelations, except for assessment of treatment in the two acute treatment groups. One general factor explains between 43% and 55% of the variance in each group. Factor scores are associated with observer-rated psychopathology and objective data. The four criteria overlap in different patient groups, except in the assessment of treatment in acute groups. The use of more than one subjective criterion should occur only with specific hypotheses.

Background Based on experiences and empirical evidence gained in studies using the Lancashire Quality of Life Profile (LQLP), the Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life (MANSA) has been developed as a condensed and slightly modified instrument for assessing quality of life. Its properties have been tested in a sample of community care patients. Method Fifty-five randomly selected patients on the Care Programme Approach were interviewed using the LQLP, the MANSA and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale. Results Correlations between subjective quality of life scores on MANSA and LQLP were all 0.83 or higher (0.94 for the satisfaction mean score). Cronbach's alpha for satisfaction ratings was 0.74, and association with psychopathology was in line with results for LQLP as reported in the literature. Conclusions The MANSA is a brief instrument for assessing quality of life focusing on satisfaction with life as a whole and with life domains. Its psychometric properties appear satisfactory.
