Description
Background : Previous studies on sociodemographic
characteristics connected to quality of life in schizophrenia
discovered inconsistent results. This study aims to analyze
predicting factors of quality of life (QoL) of schizophrenia
patients.
Methods : A quantitative study included 153 respondents who
were selected using random sampling at the State Psychiatric
Hospital Surakarta. The research instruments were a
questionnaire containing questions about demographics
consisting of age, age at first experiencing schizophrenia,
gender, education level, work status, marital status, frequency
of treatment, duration of suffering from schizophrenia, insight,
physical health problems and quality of life by using
WHOQOL-BREF. The analyses used were Spearmen's rank
(rho) and the Pearson Chi-Square to analyze factors connected
to QoL of schizophrenia patients and multiple logistic
regression tests to analyze predictors of QoL of schizophrenia
patients. This study was conducted in the State Psychiatric
Hospital of Surakarta from September 2020 to March 2021.
Results : There were 4 characteristics of sociodemographic
that have a positive significant relationship with the overall
quality of life of schizophrenia patient, namely work status (p =
0.000), marital status with p = 0.000, gender (p=0.032), and
adherence to take medicine with p=0.015 (p <0.05). marital
status and work status that influence the quality of life
(p=0.000 and p=0.001). Marital status and work status
influence the quality of life (p=0.000 and p=0.001), the largest
OR value obtained is 25.499. It means that married patients
have a 25.499 times chance of having a better quality of life
controlled by work status.
Conclusion : Marital status and work status are predictors of
QoL of schizophrenia. In providing services to schizophrenic
patients, health professional need to pay attention in assessing social demographics such as work status and marital status so that appropriate action can be taken with an approach to these aspects
