Abstract
People suffering from schizophrenia-spectrum disorders often endorse a reduced quality of life (QoL) as compared to the general population. There appears to be a lack of studies for rural catchment areas for this patient population. We conducted a cross-sectional study with 94 people with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders in a mainly rural alpine area. We used multilevel models controlled for covariates to analyze the data. Total service satisfaction was associated with psychological aspects of subjective QoL and physical well-being in our model. Variables characterizing autonomy and empowerment of the person seem crucial concerning the QoL in this population.
