title: [Schizophrenic patients' quality of life--association with coping, locus of control, subjective well-being, satisfaction and patient-judged caregiver burden].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The interrelation of subjective concepts to quality of life has been mainly separately explored so far.
  
  
  METHODS
  Beside quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF) of 117 schizophrenic inpatients coping (FKV-LIS), locus of control (KKG), subjective well-being under medication (SWN-K), patient satisfaction (ZUF-8), caregiver burden (FBA) as well as sociodemographic and disease-related variables (German Basic Documentation System, BADO) were analysed using Pearsonian correlation and regression analyses.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Predictors of quality of life were physical well-being, social and occupational integration, active problem-focused coping, less minimization of illness, voluntary admission to hospital, high satisfaction with treatment and life, being aware of positive changes as a consequence of illness and low-rated caregiver burden. In contrast, locus of control, sociodemographic and disease-related variables as well as medication (conventional or atypical antipsychotics) had no significant influence.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Active problem-focused coping, social and occupational integration and physical well-being play an important role for schizophrenic patients' quality of life and should be considered in treatment regimens.
