The connection between stress and quality of life in patients with psychotic disorders at Sveti Ivan Psychiatric Clinic The connection between stress and quality of life in patients with psychotic disorders at the Sveti Ivan Psychiatry Clinic. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between stress levels and satisfaction with quality of life in adult patients treated at Sveti Ivan Psychiatry Clinic. The specific objectives were to examine the relationship between depression and different aspects of satisfaction with life quality and to examine the connection between anxiety and different aspects of satisfaction with life quality. Study design: a cross-sectional study. Participants and methods: Respondents were patients with psychotic disorders treated at Day Clinic for Psychotic Disorders at Sveti Ivan Psychiatry Clinic, aged 18 to 45 years. Data were collected in the period from May to July 2023. The research method used validated DASS-21 questionnaires and the life quality questionnaire of the World Health Organization WHOQO-BREF, as well as a socio-demographic questionnaire prepared for research purposes. Results: 50 respondents took part in the research, 24 of whom were men and 26 women. The average age of the respondents was 30.86 years. The respondents reported a mild level of stress, achieving an average score of 6.19, i.e., 50% of the respondents scored between 0 and 6. The level of depression was slighty lower (M=5.24, sd=4.762; C= 4.00) and the level of anxiety was the lowest (M=3.83, sd=4.120, C=2). The data on the relationship between stress, anxiety, depression and quality of life in patients with psychotic disorders show a significant negative relationship with all the examined domains of satisfaction with life quality. Respondents were also less satisfied with their lives overall and rated other people as more satisfied with their lives than themselves. Conclusion: Stress is significantly negatively related to satisfaction with quality of life in adult patients suffering from psychotic disorders and treated at Sveti Ivan Psychiatry Clinic. Depression and anxiety are also significantly negatively related to all examined domains of satisfaction with life quality, which means that the more depression and anxiety the respondents experienced, the lower their satisfaction with quality of life was.
