Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 April 2020
Abstract
Backgrounds and Aims: Sexual dysfunction are frequent in schizophrenia. Little is know about association between quality of life and sexual dysfunction in men with schizophrenia.
Sexual dysfunction was assessed in 34 male outpatients with schizophrenia using a self completed gender specific questionnaire. Patients’ mental state was rated using Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Current medication was recorded. Quality of life was assessed using Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale (SQLS).
Sexual dysfunction occurred in majority of patients. Patient with sexual dysfunction reported significantly lower ratings on global quality of life.
People with schizophrenia report high rates of sexual dysfunction. The overall importance of sexuality in the lives of patients with schizophrenia is suggested by significant inverse relationship between sexual dysfunction and global quality of life ratings.
