Abstract

Objectives: To assess the subjective perception of quality of life in a group of persons with diagnosis of schizophrenia using the Sevilla Questionnaire. Methods: 50 patients answered the Sevilla questionnaire and completed a clinical and neuropsychological evaluation. Results: Most patients reported a high level of satisfaction with their lives. We found a statistically significant, inverse association, between the unfavourable subscale and the GAFF score and the negative symptoms, general psychopathology and the insight item of the PANSS. Conclusions: People with schizophrenia can adequately report about their Quality of Life. Vital satisfaction of the patients depends on factors different from the direct results of medical treatment.
