“…As in our study, a number of works studying quality of life and related factors in schizophrenia patients found a relation between duration of education and quality of life, whereby with a higher education level the quality of life increased (41)(42)(43)(44)(45). As the education level is one of the variables that may affect cognitive functions, it may improve patients' self-care, allow them to perform a number of functions, and thus have a positive impact on the quality of life.…”

Quality of life and depression in schizophrenia patients living in a nursing homeObjective: Nursing homes are seen as alternative housing for patients with schizophrenia. However, it has not yet been established how suitable this accommodation is for schizophrenia patients. First aim of this study is to assess the quality of life and depression level in schizophrenic patients and compare this data with that of patients living with their families. Second aim is to assess factors related to the quality of living and depression state in all participants of this study. Method: This is a cross-sectional study conducted with patients presenting to the Psychotic Disorders Policlinic of the Beyhekim Psychiatric Clinic of Konya Training and Research Hospital consecutively between December 2012 and May 2013 who had received a diagnosis of schizophrenia according to DSM IV-TR. All participants were administered a sociodemographic data form, Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS), and Quality of Life Scale for Schizophrenia Patients (QLSSP). Results: CDSS scores were found to be significantly increased in schizophrenic patients living in nursing homes. Their QLSSP scores, including interpersonal relations, occupational role, mental symptoms, personal belongings/activity scores, and total scores were statistically significantly low. A significant negative correlation was observed between negative symptom levels and occupational area, mental findings, and the personal belongings/activity areas of quality of life. Between positive symptom levels and quality of life, only scores in the occupational area showed a significant negative correlation. A significant negative correlation between CSDS and QLS was observed in all areas. Conclusion: Quality of life and depression need to be evaluated in all schizophrenia patients, as they are conditions that significantly affect treatment and prognosis. Keywords: Depression, quality of life, schizophrenia ÖZET Bakımevinde kalan şizofreni hastalarında yaşam kalitesi ve depresyonAmaç: Bakımevleri şizofreni hastaları için alternatif yaşam alanları olarak görülmektedir. Ancak bu tür yerlerin şizofreni hastaları için ne kadar uygun olduğu sorusu henüz cevaplandırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın birinci amacı bakımevlerinde yaşayan şizofreni hastalarının yaşam kalitesini ve depresyon düzeylerini değerlendirmek ve ailesiyle yaşayan hastalarla karşılaştırmaktı. İkinci amacı ise çalışmaya alınan tüm hastaların yaşam kalitesi ve depresyon durumlarıyla ilişkili faktörlerin değerlendirilmesiydi. Yöntem: Bu çalışma Aralık 2012-Mayıs 2013 tarihleri arasında Konya Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi, Beyhekim Psikiyatri Kliniği, Psikotik Bozukluklar Polikliniğine ardışık olarak başvuran DSM-IV-TR'ye göre şizofreni tanısı alan hastaların katıldığı kesitsel bir çalışmadır.

“…Parmi les personnes non hospitalisées, celles qui vivent dans les milieux plus encadrés, hôtel-unité psychiatrique (Simpson et al, 1989), traitement résiden-tiel intensif (Warner et Huxley, ce numéro), familles d'accueil (Lehman et al, 1991;Levitt et al, 1990;Mercier, 1989) sont moins satisfaites que celles qui vivent en milieu plus ouvert. Il faut cependant noter que les personnes qui vivent dans les environnements les plus contraignants sont aussi celles qui présentent les problèmes les plus sévères du point de vue du diagnostic et du niveau fonctionnel.…”

“…Aussi, pour avancer dans ce sens, présentons-nous ici une étude sur la qualité de vie et la psychopathologie des personnes ayant des troubles mentaux et qui sont traitées dans le cadre du système de soutien communautaire à Boulder au Colorado (Mosher et Burti, 1989). Pour ce faire, nous prenons les mêmes mesures que celles utilisées pour l'évaluation des personnes retenues dans l'échantillon hospitalier et communautaire de Manchester Sud, en Angleterre (Simpson et al, 1989 …”

RÉSUMÉ Soixante-neuf personnes ayant des troubles mentaux, traitées dans le cadre d'un système rigoureux de soutien communautaire à Boulder au Colorado, ont été évaluées à l'aide des mêmes mesures de psychopathologie et de qualité de vie que celles utilisées pour l'évaluation de personnes similaires traitées dans des services hospitaliers et communautaires à Manchester, en Angleterre. La psychopathologie était plus grande dans l'échantillon de Boulder. Toutefois, sur le plan de la qualité de vie, les résultats des patients étatsuniens n'étaient pas moins bons que ceux des patients anglais. Nous examinons ici la relation entre ces conclusions, les systèmes de soins et la disponibilité des lits dans les hôpitaux psychiatriques.
