Objective : To evaluate the influence of depression, anxiety and auditory hallucination on quality of life in schizophrenic inpatients.
Method : One hundred and nine schizophrenic patients were included. Depression was evaluated using Beck Depression Inventory(BDI) and anxiety symptom with Beck Anxiety Inventory(BAI). Psychotic symptoms were evaluated using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS) and Psychotic Symptom Rating scale(PSYRATS). The Quality of life was evaluated using the Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale(SQLS).
Result : BDI, BAI, PANSS total, PANSS general psychopathology subscale, PSYRATS total and PSYRATS hallucination subscale were negatively correlated with quality of life scale in schizophrenia. SQLS were significantly lower in depressed and anxious patients and slightly lower in hallucinatory patients.
Conclusion : Because of strong association to their quality of life, we should pay attention to depression, anxiety and auditory hallucination in schizophrenic inpatients.
