Abstract
Introduction
Examining the link between quality of life and readmission rates in schizophrenia crucial for refining interventions. This study reveals factors impacting well-readmissions, guiding personalized treatments, optimizing resources, and enhancing outcomes for inpatients with schizophrenia.
Aim of the study
This research examines determinants influencing the quality of life in schizophrenia at the Riga Psychiatry and Narcology Centre. Additionally, it explores the connection quality of life and readmission rates for these individuals.
Materials and methods
A cross-sectional survey at the Riga Psychiatry and Narcology Centre studied inpatients. Sociodemographic data were collected from medical records and Readmission rates were calculated by analysing hospitalizations relative to illness Quality of life, assessed using WHOQOL-BREF, included physical health, well-being, social relationships, and environment domains. IBM SPSS Statistics aided employing techniques like frequency distribution, the Mann-Whitney U Test, and analysis.
Results
The study, encompassing 50 participants, unveiled a median annual readmission rate Q3 0.3 to 2.4). Quality of life varied: median 62.5% (Physical Health), 50% Well-being), 37.5% (Social Relationships), and 59.4% (Environment). Negative correlations readmission were found for each domain: r = -0.717; p<0.001 (Physical Health), r = -0.639; (Psychological Well-being), r = -0.547; p<0.001 (Social Relationships), and r = -0.630; (Environment). Higher quality of life scores were associated with alcohol abstinence and satisfaction with socio-economic status (p<0.001). Disability associated negatively Physical Health and Social Relationships (p<0.005), while diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and unemployment were negatively associated with Relationships domain (p<0.005).
Conclusions
In conclusion, our study highlights a significant association between readmission reduced satisfaction across diverse domains in individuals with schizophrenia. Notably, abstinence, positive socio-economic perspectives, and absence of disability are pivotal influencing heightened quality of life. This underscores the necessity for tailored to enhance overall patient well-being.
