“…Results are largely consistent with the results of previous studies of the correlates of hope [22][23][24][25][26][29][30][31]. Both the expectation of success in the future and the expectation of being able to persist were linked to lesser levels of stigma, fewer symptoms, lesser anxiety, and lesser preference for avoidant forms of coping.…”

“…As persons encounter and accept stigma, the possibility of future fulfillment may seem increasingly remote. At the clinical level, hope has been suggested to be influenced by positive and negative symptoms and depression [24][25][26][27][28]. Experiencing symptoms has been suggested to be naturally demoralizing and leads to fewer positive expectations for the future.…”

Abstract-Hopelessness is a widely observed barrier to recovery from schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Yet little is known about how clinical, social, and psychological factors independently affect hope. Additionally, the relationships that exist between these factors and different kinds of hope are unclear.To explore both issues, we correlated two aspects of hope, expectations of the future and agency, with stigma, clinical symptoms, anxiety, and coping preferences in 143 persons with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder. Multiple regressions revealed that hope for the future was predicted by lesser alienation, lesser preference for ignoring stressors, and lesser emotional discomfort and negative symptoms, accounting for 43% of the variance. A greater sense of agency was linked to lesser endorsement of mental illness stereotypes, fewer negative symptoms, lesser social phobia, and lesser preference for ignoring stressors, accounting for 44% of the variance. Implications for research and interventions are discussed.

“…A small body of research has examined the correlates of self-esteem among persons with schizophrenia (e.g., Bradshaw & Brekke, 1999;Markowitz, 2001;Roe, 2003;Torrey, Mueser, & Drake, 2000); these studies have consistently demonstrated that self-esteem is significantly correlated to life satisfaction. A longitudinal study demonstrated, however, that baseline selfesteem does not predict life satisfaction (Roe, 2003), but rather that changes in self-esteem are associated with changes in life satisfaction.…”

Outcomes for health conditions are typically the result of multiple factors; however, studies tend to focus on a narrow class of variables. Functioning and well-being outcomes for schizophrenia are diverse and have resisted simple explanation; however, prior research has not offered an integrated understanding of the relative contributions of enduring and episodic environmental factors, personal resources and psychiatric factors, and cognitive appraisal and coping, on functioning and well-being outcomes in schizophrenia. The present article sets out an integrated model of the determinants of functioning and well-being among individuals with schizophrenia. To examine evidence that bears on the model, literature on hypothesized relationships is reviewed to identify areas for which there is strong evidence and areas where more research is needed. The article suggests areas for further research, and directs researchers and practitioners toward areas of intervention that can enhance functioning and well-being for persons diagnosed with schizophrenia.

“…The causal relationship is, though, not clear in these studies. Further, higher self-esteem at the end of treatment has been found to be related to a lower degree of anger in the treatment milieu (Bradshaw & Brekke, 1999). Facilitating possibilities for the patients to engage in positive interpersonal relationships-both with the treatment staff and with family and friends during treatment-may therefore be an important element…”

Self‐image and outcome in first‐episode psychosis

This study examines self-image in a sample of first-episode psychosis (N = 97) at baseline and as predictor for outcome. Self-image was measured using the Structural Analysis of Social Behavior Questionnaire (=SASB-Intrex) at the perceived best and at worst state. The main findings are that persons with psychosis and a more positive self-image at their perceived best state have a better remission from negative and positive psychotic symptoms and an increased level of social functioning after one year in treatment. Further, some support was found for the presence of defensive processes in forming the self-image in psychosis, as reduced acknowledgement of present illness and grandiosity were associated with a less negative self-image at worst state. This defensive strategy might be helpful in remission, as a less negative self-image at worst state was related to better remission in positive psychotic symptoms after one year in treatment.
