Abstract

The goal of this study was to understand the relationship between perceptions (among clients and rehabilitation workers) of occupational performance in the domain of work and subjective quality of life. A total of 29 persons with a diagnosis of schizophrenia participated in this study. The Wisconsin Quality of Life-Client Questionnaire, the Work Personality Profile and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure were used for this study. The results showed few statistically significant correlations between indicators of subjective quality of life and perceptions, by clients and rehabilitation workers, of occupational performance. The results, however, highlighted the differences between younger and older participants in relation to occupational performance and subjective quality of life.
