Relationship Between Stress Events, Psychological Consistency And Quality Of Life In Patients With Schizophrenia During Convalescence And Their Relationship

Schizophrenia is a mental illness with unknown etiology that often starts in early adulthood. The patients had various mental barriers and obvious function damage on perception, thought, emotion, behavior and so on, which lead to a huge consumption of medical resources, patients themselves and their families. Quality of life is often used as a judgment and sign of schizophrenia patients how much they recovery, return to the society. And stimulation of stress events will have significant impact on the quality of life of convalescence schizophrenia patients. Sense of coherence used as perception and belief to cope with the pressure of resources that individual have, gradually aroused people’s concern in recent years. In the study on its relationship with stress events, scientists have already achieved good results. Previous studies have confirmed that stress events, sense of coherence and quality of life have relationship in any two of them, but lack of the study of relationship among the three variables. Therefore, it is necessary for in-depth discussion on the relationship among stress events, sense of coherence and quality of life of convalescence schizophrenia patients.This study chooses 155 convalescence schizophrenia patients from a psychiatric department of hospital and a mental hospital, and matching with 168 healthy people as the research object. Using the LES scale, SOC scale and WHOQOL-BREF scale to test participants with series of research methods, the researcher systematically discuss convalescence schizophrenia patients’ general present situation of stress events, sense of coherence and the quality of life on the differences of demographic variables, compared the differences between convalescence schizophrenia patients and healthy people on three variable, and also research the relationship among three variable. Research conclusions are as follows:1. The stress event situation of convalescence schizophrenia patients are being at high levels. The demographic variables of gender, time of being sick, occupation, education, age, birth order, marital status, family economic conditions, whether living with family members have a significant difference in one or more dimensions of stress events.2. The sense of coherence situation of convalescence schizophrenia patients are being overall in the medium level. The demographic variables of gender, age, birth order, whether living with family members have a significant difference in one or more dimensions of sense of coherence.3. The quality of life situation of convalescence schizophrenia patients are being in a slightly lower secondary level. The demographic variables of time of being sick, occupation, birth order, marital status, family economic conditions have a significant difference in one or more dimensions of quality of life.4. Convalescence schizophrenia patients’ negative event, the total score of stress events, work and learning problem and social interaction problem is significantly higher than healthy people, while positive events, each dimension of sense of coherence, and physiological, psychological, social domain of quality of life was significantly lower than healthy people.5. There is a significant correlation among stress events, sense of coherence and quality of life of convalescence schizophrenia patients. Stress events have a significant negative prediction function on the quality of life, while sense of coherence have a significant positive prediction function on the quality of life.6. Convalescence schizophrenia patients’ sense of coherence is an intervening variable between stress events and the quality of life.
