  • Title: [Quality of life and daily coping of chronic schizophrenic patients. Results of a qualitative pilot study].
    Author: Kühn A, Rosendahl W, Hennig H.
    Journal: Psychother Psychosom Med Psychol; 1997 Feb; 47(2):64-71. PubMed ID: 9157470.
    Abstract:
    The results of this qualitative exploratory study show that chronic schizophrenics partly cope successfully with the multivarious demands of everyday life, including the consequences of their illness. They mostly realize a relatively high level of quality of life. There is a distinct connection between the concrete institutional-therapeutic setting conditions and the multiplicity of participation in social life or the available ways of coping. We identified favourable and unfavourable coping modes as well as starting points for therapeutic interventions. A qualitative analysis of the individual case seems to be absolutely required, in order to estimate their efficiency.
