Pharmacology Quality of life (QoL) issues of caregivers are now receiving increasing attention from the researches especially chronic patients' caregivers. This study aims to determine the QoL of caregivers of schizophrenic patients and to compare the QoL of caregivers according to their socio-demographic variables. The data was collected by self administered questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 2 sections. 1) Socio demographic and 2) SF-36 Questionnaires. Thirty out-patient schizophrenic caregivers from Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahmah, Klang completed the survey. The majority were male (n=l 6; mean age=51 years; range=22- 76) and married (n=23). The statistical analyses used were descriptive statistics and non-parametric Chi-square goodness of fit, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Generally, QoL scores were moderate in the caregivers as most of the median scores ranged from 50 to 68.75 (score range 1-100). The highest score reported was for Social Functioning (SF) scale (median=87.5; minimum=37.5; maximum=100).
