慢性期精神科病棟入院患者のQOLの実態,およびQOLに関連する臨床要因,環境要因,生活要因などを明らかにすることを目的に,年単位の長期入院生活を送っている女性統合失調症患者を対象として,聞き取り調査を実施した。その結果,平均年齢55.8歳の対象者の平均EuroQol得点は,おおむね一般人口における70~80歳代女性のそれに相当していた。また臨床要因との関連では,精神症状(BPRS)が,特に陽性,陰性の両症状に限定されることなく精神症状全体としてQOLに関連していた。精神症状の強い者のほうがそうでない者よりもQOLは低かった。また生活要因では,喫煙者のほうが非喫煙者よりもQOLが高い傾向が認められた。
Summary
An investigation using EuroQol was undertaken in order to measure the QOL of chronic psychiatric inpatients, and to identify the clinical, environmental, and lifestyle factors related to their QOL. The subjects were female patients diagnosed with schizophrenia who had been living in a psychiatric ward for a long time (their average age was 55.8 years). Their average score of EuroQol corresponded to that of people in the general population in their seventies and eighties. As for the clinical factors, psychiatric syndrome (BPRS) was related to QOL as a whole syndrome regardless of whether the syndrome was positive or negative. The QOL score of the patients with more severe psychiatric symptoms was lower than that of patients with less severe symptoms. as regards lifestyle, smokers had a higher QOL than non smokers.
