    Abstract:
    Health related quality of life and severity of psychopathological symptoms were evaluated in 90 patients with schizophrenia, hospitalized in a psychiatric ward in a day hospital or followed by the therapist in a community care center. No statistical differences were found in the quality of life evaluation between patients from all three settings. The quality of life did not correlate with the severity of schizophrenic symptoms. Older patients and those more frequently hospitalized were more pessimistic in evaluation of their quality of life. Health status transition, as compared to the situation one year before, correlated inversely with patients' age. Male patients as well as patients from schizophrenic families evaluated their quality of life as worse.
