Sažetak
Objectives: To examine the quality of life of people suffering from psychiatric disorders during their stay in an outpatient clinic and during hospitalization at the Psychiatry Clinic; to examine the quality of life of patients suffering from psychiatric disorders concerning sociodemographic data; to examine the difference in the quality of life of patients suffering from psychiatric disorders during hospitalization and during their stay in the outpatient clinic; to examine what are the significant predictors of the quality of life of people suffering from psychiatric disorders.
Study design: The study was conducted according to the principles of a cross-sectional study.
Respondents and methods: The research was conducted at the Psychiatry Clinic, in which 102 respondents participated. The sociodemographic data questionnaire and the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire were used in the research to examine the quality of life.
Result: Respondents expressed the highest quality of life in relation to the environment subscale, while the physical health subscale received the lowest rating. Patients with a higher or higher vocational education rated their physical health significantly the best, and those with no schooling or only elementary school the worst. The environment was rated the best by patients with a university degree or higher, and the worst by patients with the lowest level of education. It can be seen that age is not related to the domains and the overall assessment of the quality of life, while material status is significantly and positively related to all domains and the overall assessment of the quality of life. Patients with better financial status rated all domains better, as well as the overall quality of life.
Conclusion: Economic status is a significant predictor in each domain, and the level of education along with economic status in the domain of social relations.
