  • Title: [Domain-specific subjective quality of life and illness-related limitations of chronic schizophrenic patients].
    Author: Lauer G, Stegmüller-Koenemund U.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 1994 Mar; 21(2):70-3. PubMed ID: 7910973.
    Abstract:
    The relationships of subjective quality of life in nine domains and negative symptoms, duration of illness, dosage of a neuroleptic and neuroleptic side-effects are investigated in 30 chronic schizophrenic patients. Negative symptoms show negative correlations with four domains (safety, social relations, health, leisure), duration of illness with three domains (health, leisure, living situation). Whereas the dosage of a neuroleptic relates to safety only, neuroleptic side-effects correlate with five domains (social relations, health, safety, living situation, work and employment). The results are discussed in the light of clinical experience and former empirical studies. Proposals for further research are presented.
