“…In line with our study, female gender (Carpiniello et al, 2012) and older age were associated with lower HRQoL (Caron et al, 2005). On the contrary, another study did not find any gender differences in HRQoL (Heider et al, 2007).…”

“…Lower everyday functioning, greater severity of symptoms and higher education level have been associated with lower QoL (Ruggeri et al, 2005;Skantze, 1998). Increasing age, however, has been associated with higher HRQoL (Caron et al, 2005).…”

Health-related quality of life was assessed using the questionnaire EQ5D, both for patients and the population, and several other health status outcomes were used. Results: At 73%, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder were the most common diagnoses in the patient group. The results in patients (n=903) and population (n=7238) showed significant differences in lower EQ5D among patients. According to the definition by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), elevated blood pressure was the only metabolic risk associated with lower HRQoL in patients. Raised LDL-cholesterol levels were also significantly related to lower HRQoL. Conclusion: patients suffering from psychosis had significantly lower HRQoL regarding all components in EQ5D, except for the pain/discomfort component.Almost half of the patient group met the criteria for metabolic syndrome. According to the IDF criteria, elevated blood pressure was the only metabolic risk factor that had an impact on HRQoL.

“…L'instrument a été utilisé dans plusieurs études au Canada en version française et anglaise, et ce, sur différentes populations : population générale, population à faible revenu, population de personnes souffrant de schizophrénie et leur famille, personnes ayant fait une tentative suicidaire et de familles ayant des enfants en garderie (Caron et al, 2012(Caron et al, , 2011(Caron et al, , 2007(Caron et al, , 2005b(Caron et al, , 2005c(Caron et al, , 1998Houle, Mishara, Chagnon, 2005 ;Sainclair et Naud, 2005 ;Lecomte, Stip, Caron et Renaud, 2004). Ces différentes études montrent que le soutien social mesuré avec cette échelle s'avère un des meilleurs prédicteurs de la détresse psychologique et de la qualité de vie.…”

L’Échelle de provisions sociales-10 items (ÉPS-10) est une version abrégée de l’Échelle de provisions sociales (Social Provisions Scale) (Cutrona et Russell, 1987) validée en langue française sur une population québécoise (Caron, 1996) et qui permet de mesurer la disponibilité du soutien social. L’ÉPS-10 conserve cinq des six sous-échelles de l’ÉPS (l’attachement ; l’intégration sociale ; la confirmation de sa valeur ; l’aide matérielle et l’orientation), le besoin de se sentir utile et nécessaire ayant été exclu, et ne garde que les items formulés positivement, soit deux items par dimension du soutien. L’article présente la validation de l’EPS-10 sur un échantillon représentatif de 2433 personnes provenant de la population générale du sud-ouest de Montréal. Elle a une forte validité concomitante avec l’Échelle originelle de 24 items (ÉPS). Tous ces items sont fortement corrélés au score total et sa consistance interne est excellente. Des analyses de corrélation entre les sous-échelles et le score global et une analyse factorielle indiquent que l’ÉPS-10 conserve sa validité de construit. L’ÉPS-10 explique 14,1 % de la variance de la détresse psychologique et 25,4 % de la variance de la qualité de vie et conserve un pouvoir prédictif équivalent à l’ÉPS à 24 items. L’ensemble des analyses suggère que l’ÉPS-10 est un instrument fiable et valide pour mesurer la disponibilité du soutien social avec un temps d’administration réduit de moitié. Il s’avère un excellent choix pour les enquêtes épidémiologiques.The Social Provisions Scale-10 item (SPS-10) is a shortened version of the Social Provisions Scale (Cutrona and Russell, 1987) validated in French (Échelle de provisions sociales) by Caron (1996). The Social Provisions Scale (SPS) originally consisted of six subscales to measure the availability of social support: emotional support or attachment, social integration, reassurance of worth, tangible help, orientation and opportunity for nurturance. Four items allowed measuring of each subscales, two formulated positively and two negatively for a total of 24 items. The SPS-10 retains five subscales, opportunity for nurturance was excluded and it only keeps the positively worded items, two items per dimension of support. The article presents its validation on a representative sample of 2433 people of the general population of the southwest region of Montreal. It has a strong concurrent validity with the original scale of 24 items (SPS) (r = 0.930). All its items are highly correlated with total scores and its internal consistency is excellent. The alpha for the global scale is 0.880 and the alphas for the five subscales ranged from 0.528 to 0.690. Its construct validity is also preserved. The SPS-10 has an independence of its dimensions with moderate correlations between the subscales ranging between 0.469 and 0.632 and its five subscales are more strongly related to the support global score (r minimum = 0.755 p <0.001 and r maximum = 0.835), indicating that they are also indicators of the availability of social provision...

“…A perceção de apoio social, o funcionamento social e outras componentes de apoio social estabelecem uma relação positiva com a qualidade de vida em geral (Eack et al, 2007;Caron et al, 2005;Chan & Yeung, 2008). Um dos estudos relacionou especificamente a satisfação subjetiva da qualidade de vida numa relação positiva com uma grande rede e nível de apoio social (Cechnicki, Wojciechowska, & Valdez, 2008).…”

RESUMO:A Esquizofrenia é considerada pela OMS como uma das dez doenças mais incapacitantes. Sendo uma perturbação complexa e de caráter crónico, gera prejuízos significativos na vida dos pacientes, prejudicando a sua qualidade de vida. O suporte social é um fator de redução do impacto de perturbações mentais, como a esquizofrenia. Tendo por base uma metanálise crítica reflexiva, com o objetivo compreender a relação entre os fatores que atuam numa melhor qualidade de vida e suporte social nos indivíduos com esta patologia, recorreu-se às bases de dados PubMed e Scopus, atendendo a critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Os resultados indicaram 10 artigos que investigaram as variáveis qualidade de vida e/ou suporte social em pacientes com esquizofrenia. Além disso, foram identificados o suporte social e o funcionamento social como preditores de uma melhor qualidade de vida. Contudo, foram reduzidos os estudos que relacionassem diretamente estas duas variáveis estudadas, assim como fatores que melhorassem a qualidade de vida e/ou suporte social. São sugeridas implicações para a promoção da qualidade de vida e suporte social destes doentes bem como a necessidade de mais investigação na área. Palavras-chave: Esquizofrenia, Qualidade de Vida, Suporte Social __________________________________________________________________________ QUALITY OF LIFE AND SOCIAL SUPPORT IN PATIENTS WITH SCHIZOPHRENIAABSTRACT: Schizophrenia is considered by WHO as one of the ten most disabling diseases. Being a complex and chronic disorder, it generates a significant damage on patients' lives, impairing their quality of life. Social support is a factor that reduces the impact of mental disorders such as schizophrenia. Based on a reflective critical metaanalysis, in order to further understanding the factors that act in a better quality of life and social support for patients with this disease, we used the PubMed and Scopus databases, considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results indicated 10 articles that have investigated the variables quality of life and / or social support in patients with schizophrenia. Moreover, we also identified, social support and social functioning as predictors of a better quality of life. However, few studies analyzed directly the relationship between these two variables, as well as factors that improve the quality of life and / or social support. Implications for the promotion of quality of life and social support of these patients are suggested, as well as the need for more research in the area.
