Assessment of health needs, satisfaction with care, and quality of life in compulsorily admitted patients with severe mental disorders

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) primarily address health care needs, satisfaction with care, and health-related quality of life (QOL), but also social support, symptoms, and functional status (Patrick et al., 2007; Greenhalgh, 2009). Health-care needs (needs), satisfaction with care, and QOL cover distinct domains (Gustafson, 2005; Zendjidjian et al., 2014a, 2014b; Ritsner, 2017). Application of “needs – care satisfaction - quality of life – social support” model of PROs is an important topic for research, especially, of compulsorily admitted patients with schizophrenia (SZ), and schizoaffective (SA) disorder.
