Quality of life and needs of hospitalized schizophrenic patients in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Aim of the study was to investigate the quality of life and the medicinal and social needs of patients hospitalized with schizophrenia in the CR to uncover potential issues in these areas. Relevant self-evaluating questionnaires were used in a cohort ofhospitalized schizophrenic patients undergoing rehabilitation before discharge from the mental hospital. Two hundred and forty-four patients (women N=115) aged 18-58 years were involved in the study. The quality of life of hospitalized patients with schizophrenia was subjectively assessed as universally worse in comparison with the general Czech population but patients were not wholly critical of their own health status and overestimated its quality (arithmetic mean 63.79 in the patients vs the range of45.5-59.8 as the norm in the general Czech population). Intimate relations, financial matters, treatment of psychotic symptoms, and sexual life were among the most pressing medicinal and social needs in our study subjects.
