Background: There are limited data on loneliness and its correlates in patients with schizophrenia. Objective: To evaluate prevalence and correlates of loneliness in patients with schizophrenia, currently in clinical remission. Methodology: A total of 160 patients of schizophrenia in clinical remission were assessed on UCLA Loneliness Scale, Positive and Negative syndrome scale, Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS), Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, Brief COPE, Beck’s Hopelessness Scale, Brief Dyadic Scale of Expressed Emotions, and Self-report Quality of Life Measure. Results: The mean age of the study sample was 34.99 ( SD = 9.13) years. The prevalence of loneliness in the study sample was 80%, with mean total UCLA-loneliness scale score of 30.04 (16.9).Compared to participants without loneliness, those with loneliness had had higher CDSS score, had poor quality of life, lower self-esteem, experienced higher level of stigma, more often used maladaptive coping strategies such as self-blaming and reported a higher level of hopelessness. In the correlation analysis, higher level of loneliness was associated higher severity of depression, higher level of stigma (except for stigma resistance) and discrimination, poorer quality of life, lower self-esteem, perception of a higher level of expressed emotions, higher use of maladaptive coping in the domains of behavioral disengagement, and self-blaming, and a higher level of hopelessness. In regression analysis, the maximum variance of loneliness was explained by quality of life score (29%), followed by hopelessness score (8.8%) and discrimination score (2%). Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of loneliness in patients with schizophrenia, and there is a need to routinely evaluate the patients of schizophrenia for loneliness and address the same.

Objective: To investigate self-stigma's influence on schizophrenia patients' quality of life and its mediated impact by various factors. Methods: This study adopted a cross-sectional design and randomly selected 170 hospitalized patients with schizophrenia for evaluation. The assessment tools included the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (ISMI), Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (SQLS), Coping Questionnaire for Schizophrenia Patients (CQSP), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS). Correlation analysis, regression analysis, and mediation analysis were used to test the correlation and mediation effects. Results: Self-shame hada significant impact on quality of life (T = 8.13, p = 0.00). Self-esteem (T = -2.11, p = 0.04) and coping strategies, specifically problem-solving (T = -2.58, p = 0.01) and avoidance (T = 4.65, p= 0.00), have a greater impact on self-shame. When self-shame is used as a mediator, the problem-solving factor in coping strategies has an indirect effect on quality of life, which is significant (AB = -0.16, P = 0.02), while the avoidance factor in coping strategies has a direct effect on quality of life, which is significant (C' = 0.54, p < 0.001), and an indirect effect, which is also significant (AB = 0.25, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Self-stigma has a significant impact on quality of life. Clinical work to improve the quality of life of patients with schizophrenia should focus on self-stigma and factors that affect self-stigma, especially self-esteem and coping strategies.
