Canonical correlation analysis of family burden of disease and quality of life in caregivers of people living with schizophrenia: evidence from Schizophrenia-specific cohort in the... by Ximei Wang, Teng Zhang, Mingsong Li, Bo Yang, Liming Wang, Chuanwen Fu, Nishang Zhang, Zhengxu Li, Ce Yang, Zhimin Zhao, Qiong Meng, Yuemei Feng, Jianzhong Yin

“…Results Domain scores for physical, psychological, social relationships, and environment of quality of life were 13.50 ± 2.61, 12.67 ± 2.40, 13.64 ± 2.32, and 12.46 ± 1.76 respectively. In our study, we found that gender, age, education level, personal monthly income, history of smoking and alcohol consumption, subjective sleep quality, relation to the patient, degree of self-care and the number of relapses in patient all influence 1 to 4 domains of quality of life for caregivers, stratified analysis was conducted to minimize the effect of gender on the results, we still found that history of smoking could positively predict the score of psychological domain and history of alcohol consumption could positively predict the score of social relationships domain. …”
