Abstract

Psychosocial factors rather than psychopathologic symptoms affect subjective QOL of hospitalized patients with severe mental disorders. The findings enable better understanding of the combining effects of psychopathology and psychosocial factors on subjective life satisfaction and highlight targets for more effective intervention and rehabilitation.
