[Life quality of family caregivers of the schizophrenic patient].
It was aimed to verify the concept of life quality (LQ) of family caregivers of schizophrenic patient bearers and to identify the factors that interfere in their quality lives. For that an exploratory-descriptive, and traverse research was accomplished with 52 family caregivers that live with the patient. It was concluded that the relatives defined life quality as: "to have health, to work and support the family" (35); "to have health (9); "to have health, to have good hospitals and to live in a better neighborhood"(3); "to have health and to continue taking care of them" (2); "to have health and own house" (2); "to have money to get a better treatment" (1). Among the factors that interfered in their lifes "leaving of going the church"; "not to leave with friends"; "to leave of to work" and "not to have more time for himself" was the ones that stood out.
