“…Also, clinical practice advocates that anxiety symptoms are negatively related to QoL 7,8. Specific subtypes of NsD may differ in significantly various QoL domains 9. However, there have not been many studies to measure differences in QoL in various subgroups of NsD or distinguish the effect of symptom severity on QoL 9.…”

“…Specific subtypes of NsD may differ in significantly various QoL domains 9. However, there have not been many studies to measure differences in QoL in various subgroups of NsD or distinguish the effect of symptom severity on QoL 9. In Cramer et al,10 panic disorder, social phobia, and GAD had a negative effect on QoL, OCD had only a minor influence, and agoraphobia did not affect QoL at all.…”

BackgroundModern psychiatry focuses on self-stigma, coping strategies, and quality of life (QoL). This study looked at relationships among severity of symptoms, self-stigma, demographics, coping strategies, and QoL in patients with neurotic spectrum disorders.MethodsA total of 153 clinically stable participants who met criteria for generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, panic disorder, agoraphobia, mixed anxiety–depressive disorder, adjustment disorders, somatoform disorders, or obsessive–compulsive disorder were included in a cross-sectional study. Psychiatrists examined patients during regular psychiatric checkups. Patients completed the Quality of Life Satisfaction and Enjoyment Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q), Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI), a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Stress Coping Style Questionnaire (Strategie Zvládání Stresu [SVF] 78), and the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale.ResultsThe diagnostic subgroups differed significantly in age and use of negative coping strategies, but not in other measured clinical or psychological variables. The findings showed that neither sex nor partnership played a role in perceived QoL. All Q-LES-Q domains correlated negatively with all ISMI domains, except school/study. Unemployed and employed groups of patients differed in QoL. Each of the coping strategies, except the need for social support, was related to self-stigma. The findings showed that sex, partnership, education, and employment played no role in self-stigma. No differences between sexes in positive coping strategies, severity of disorder, self-stigma, or QoL were found. QoL correlated significantly with all coping strategies, except for guilt denial. Multiple regression showed the most important factors to be positive coping, employment, and overall self-stigma rating, explaining 32.9% of QoL. Mediation analysis showed self-stigma level and negative coping strategies to be the most influential. The most substantial factors associated with self-stigma, as indicated by regression analysis, were Q-LES-Q total, subjective CGI, and positive coping strategies, which clarified 44.5% of the ISMI.ConclusionThe study confirmed associations among self-stigma, quality of life, disorder severity, and coping strategies of outpatients with neurotic spectrum disorders.

“…Internal consistency for the Spanish version was good for the total score (Cronbach's α = 0.87) and for the subscales (ranging from 0.59 to 0.83). The total score of the Kiddy‐KINDL was used to examine the convergent validity of the PAS, according to some previous studies reporting the relationship between quality of life and anxiety symptoms (e.g., Orgilés, Méndez, Spence, Huedo‐Medina, & Espada, ; Rajmil et al, ; Raknes et al, ).…”

“…Within the child and youth literature, research has primarily focused on the relationship between QoL and a particular mental health condition as opposed to comparisons between conditions. For example, lower QoL has been reported in young persons with depressive symptoms ( 36 ), anxiety symptoms ( 37 ), and ADHD (particularly when measured via proxy-report as opposed to self-report) ( 20 ).…”

An Examination of Correlates of Quality of Life in Children and Youth With Mental Health Issues

Quality of life (QoL) is significantly lower in children with mental health issues compared to those who are typically developing or have physical health problems. However, little research has examined factors associated with QoL in this particularly vulnerable population. To address this limitation, 347 clinically referred children and adolescents were assessed using the interRAI Child and Youth Mental Health (ChYMH) Assessment and Self-reported Quality of Life- Child and Youth Mental Health (QoL-ChYMH). Hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to examine QoL at the domain-specific level. Children and adolescents who experienced heightened anhedonia and depressive symptoms reported lower social QoL (e.g., family, friends and activities; p = 0.024, 0.046, respectively). Additionally, children and youth who experienced heightened depressive symptoms reported lower QoL at the individual level (e.g., autonomy, health; p = 0.000), and level of basic needs (e.g., food, safety; p = 0.013). In contrast, no mental state indicators were associated with QoL related to services (e.g., school, treatment). Due to the paucity of research examining predictors of QoL in children and youth with mental health challenges, this study contributes to the field in assisting service providers with care planning and further providing implications for practice.
