Abstract: Objective: To investigate the quality of life in patients with stable schizophrenia and the impact factors. Methods: 455 outpatients with stable schizophrenia from 5 psychiatric hospitals were surveyed by the general situation questionnaire, Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74), Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale (PANSS), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Results: The score of GQOLI-74 was (43.34±7.66); the score of CD-RISC was (66.19±14.36). Multivariate stratified regression showed that marital status, family monthly income, PANSS score, and CD-RISC score were main influencing factors of quality of life in patients with stable schizophrenia, explaining 32.5% of the total variation. CD-RISC score independently explained 13.0% of the total variation. Conclusion: The quality of life in patients with stable schizophrenia is generally poor, which is affected by marital status, family monthly income, severity of symptoms and psychological resilience. The results highlight the importance of improving psychological resilience to promote the quality of life in patients with schizophrenia.
