Materials and Method: 45 male and 36 female, 81 patients with schizophrenia in total participated to the study. Activity performances were evaluated using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), and life satisfactions were evaluated using the Satisfaction Life Scale (SWLS). Mental and somatic anxiety evidence were determined using the Calgary Depression Scale For Schizophrenia (CDSS) and depression evidence were determined by using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A). Results: Patients’ average ages were recorded as 35.35±11.87 and education years were recorded as 9.43±3.87. Positive correlations were found using CDSS between HAM-A mental (r=0.739, p=0.001) and somatic (r=0.628, p=0.001) evidences. Negative correlations were found between life satisfaction with depression (r=-0.492, p=0.001) and anxiety mental (r=-0.561, p=0.001) and somatic (r=-0.43, p=0.001) evidences. Differently, there weren’t found any significant relationship between activity performance and life satisfaction, and between anxiety and depression (p>0.05). conclusion: When specific rehabilitation schedules are planned for patients with schizophrenia with the viewpoint of occupational therapy, focus should be one of the important parameters of life satisfaction—organizing patient’s life conditions. Also, there is a need to carry out controlled studies with bigger groups in which patients with schizophrenia will be included and patients’ contentment and satisfaction expectations will be examined according to their ages UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/ered/article/369642 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/388647 ER -
