“…In contrary to this result, in the previous studies, respondents' sex was found having a significant association with quality of life [28,35]. This difference could be due to the different instrument used to detect quality of life as the previous study [35] used Schizophrenia quality of life (S-QoL) which has 18 items measuring eight dimensions: psychological well-being (PsPhW), selfesteem, family relationship, relationship with friends, resilience, physical well-being, autonomy, and sentimental life, each scoring from 1 to 5. And also, this study used Pearson and Spearman's coefficient to detect the association between quality of life and socio-demographic variables, but in the current study, we used the WHOQOL BREF tool and multiple regression analysis.…”

“…In this study also the respondents' age has a positive association with the psychological domain (β = −0.371, p = 0.071) of quality of life and this result was in line with the previous study [34]. However, this report was inconsistent with a study done in Saudi Arabia which reported that there is a negative association between age and quality of life among people with schizophrenia [35]. This discrepancy could be due to the difference of analysis method as the study in Saudi Arabia used Pearson or Spearman's product-moment correlation test to examine the association between QoL and independent variables, however, in the current study we used multiple regression analysis.…”

Objectives To identify sociodemographic and illness-related factors associated with quality of life among people with Schizophrenia. Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional study design was employed among 351 people with schizophrenia and attending the followup service at Jimma University Medical Center, psychiatric clinic during the study period. Participants were recruited using a systematic random sampling method and a sample fraction of two was used after the first person was identified by a lottery method. Data entry was done using EpiData version 3.1 and then exported to Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25 for analysis. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the statistically significant association between quality of life and independent variables. Results Among the four domains of quality of life, respondents scored the lowest mean in the social relationships domain (10.14 ± 3.12). Final adjusted multiple regression model revealed, being divorced was negatively associated with the physical domain (β = −0.72, p = 0.02), having no formal education was negatively associated with physical health domain (β = −0.69, p = 0.001) and age was positively associated with the psychological domain (β = 0.371, p = 0.071). Being rural resident was negatively associated with physical domain (β = −0.48, p = 0.01), with environmental domain (β = −0.64, p = 0.03), with social relationships domain (β = −0.45, p = 0.04), and with overall quality of life (β = −1.93, p = 0.006). Positive symptoms (β = −0.22, p = 0.001), negative symptoms (β = −0.36, p = 0.001), and general

“…However, there were no relationships among QoL and the other demographic factors in this study. The results are congruent with another study (Cai & Yu, ), but other studies have indicated that QoL was significantly associated with gender (Lu et al, ), religion and education (Caqueo‐Urizar, Urzúa, Boyer, & Williams, ), and age and marriage (Hasan & Tumah, ; Hsiao et al, ). The inconsistent literature findings on relationships between demographic factors and QoL are due to having either been conducted in different countries with different psychosocial factors or design aspects of these studies.…”

Aims and objectives To test Zauszniewski's resourcefulness and quality of life theory in community‐based patients with schizophrenia. The objectives were to: (a) examine the relationship among psychotic symptoms, resourcefulness and quality of life, and (b) explore the determinants of quality of life. Background According to Zauszniewski's resourcefulness and quality of life theory, for patients, the skills constituting resourcefulness should centre on helping oneself or the use of resources to achieve their health. While the significant associations between resourcefulness and quality of life have been consistently delineated in published research, little is known about resourcefulness in patients with schizophrenia. Design A cross‐sectional study design was used in this study. Methods A total of 120 patients were recruited with convenience sampling who received home care service and community rehabilitation programme. The participants were assessed with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, the Resourcefulness Scale and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale‐BREF. The psychotic symptoms were rated by the researchers with structured face‐to‐face interviews. Resourcefulness and quality of life were assessed through self‐reporting. STROBE checklist was followed. Results The data were analysed using one‐way analysis of variance, t test, Pearson's correlation coefficients and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results showed that employment status and psychotic symptoms were correlated with resourcefulness, while employment status, psychotic symptoms and resourcefulness were correlated with quality of life. Resourcefulness and psychotic symptoms were the determinants of quality of life. Conclusion Patients with employment and less psychotic symptoms had greater resourcefulness. In addition, patients with employment, less psychotic symptoms and greater resourcefulness had better quality of life. Relevance to clinical practice Community rehabilitation programmes should include supported employment, symptom management and resourcefulness skills training to enhance patients' resourcefulness and quality of life.

“…CMHCs include activities that can support this notion of social recovery. Psychiatric nurses who work in organizations other than psychiatric clinics not only focus on reducing psychiatric symptoms to provide holistic care to patients, but also help enable the adaptation of patients to society by supporting their psychosocial functioning Hasan . In this regard, it is necessary to clarify legally the job descriptions and activities of nurses and other health professionals working in CMHCs in Turkey.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine in depth the senses of hope and belonging in patients with schizophrenia and factors which affect these. Design and Methods:The data were collected through the phenomenological interview method and interpreted using Strauss and Corbin's approach to qualitative data analysis.Findings: Patients with schizophrenia reported that having hope and feeling a sense of belonging were very important to them and patients with the same diagnosis, and that being accepted by society, being employed and being productive increased their senses of both hope and belonging.Practice Implications: For the rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia, which is a chronic disease, psychiatric nurses should carry out activities which increase their senses of hope and belonging.
