Abstract
Background: Recently, the community rehabilitation model for schizophrenia patients has become increasingly popular, and the Shanghai Pudong New Area has developed a relatively complete community rehabilitation model. This study analyzed the correlation between family function and subjective quality of life in the rehabilitation of patients living with schizophrenia in the community. Methods: This study evaluated persons living with schizophrenia using the Family Assessment Device and the Subjective Quality of Life Scale. A convenient sampling method was used to select 281 rehabilitation patients living with schizophrenia in the community and 166 hospitalized persons living with schizophrenia. Results: There was a significant difference in the Family Assessment Device scores between rehabilitation patients living with schizophrenia in the community and hospitalized persons living with schizophrenia (p < 0.0001). The difference in the scores of the subjective quality of life assessment between rehabilitation patients living with schizophrenia in the community and hospitalized persons living with schizophrenia was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The regression analysis showed that quality of family function had a significant effect on the subjective quality of life in rehabilitation patients living with schizophrenia in the community and hospitalized persons living with schizophrenia. (F = 10.770 p < 0.001), (F = 2.960 p < 0.01). Conclusions: The quality of family function plays an important role in improving the subjective quality of life in rehabilitation patients living with schizophrenia in the community. It may be beneficial to add some methods to improve family function in the current model of rehabilitation in the community.

The current research focused on family functioning and subjective quality of life in community rehabilitation and hospitalized persons living with schizophrenia [29]
Summary
Persons living with schizophrenia have a chronic mental illness with a high relapse rate and a high disease burden [1]. The incidence of schizophrenia is relatively low (median prevalence 15.2 per 100,000 persons per year), it is a high contributor to the total global disease burden [2]. Health Organization estimates that the mental illness burden will account for a quarter of the total burden of disease in 2020 [3]. Schizophrenia ranks seventh in the contribution to the nonfatal global burden of disease [4], and persons living with schizophrenia have a disability rate that ranks in the top 10 in the world [5]. This study analyzed the correlation between family function and subjective quality of life in the rehabilitation of patients living with schizophrenia in the community
