Zusammenfassung

Anliegen: Literaturübersicht zu den vorliegenden empirischen Ergebnissen der Erfassung subjektiver Lebensqualität schizophren erkrankter Menschen. Methode: Literaturrecherche und Darstellung eigener Forschungsergebnisse. Fokus auf Patienten unter deprivierten Lebensbedingungen. Ergebnisse: Es finden sich keine konsistenten Zusammenhänge zwischen objektiven Lebensbedingungen und deren subjektiver Bewertung. Als wichtigste Einflussfaktoren erweisen sich Depressivität, Persönlichkeitsfaktoren und Adaptationsmechanismen. Schlussfolgerungen: Subjektive und objektive Variablen hängen nicht linear zusammen. Zur Überwindung der dargestellten Interpretationsprobleme subjektiver Lebensqualitätsstudien werden Mindeststandards für die Anwendung subjektiver Lebensqualität als Outcomeindikator vorgeschlagen.

Abstract

Objective: A systematic review on empirical results of studies that assess Quality of Life (QoL) in schizophrenic patients. Method: A systematic overview of the literature is provided with focus on schizophrenic patients under deprived living conditions. Results: No consistent relationships are found between objective living conditions and their subjective evaluation by means of QoL-ratings. The latter are influenced by the level of depression, personality factors and adaptation. Conclusions: Objective and subjective variables represent distinct latent constructs. Standards for the use of subjective QoL as outcome indicator are suggested.
