Abstract
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate relationships among environmental provision and quality of life. Subjects were 83 schizophrenic patients attending day care at mental hospitals. The assessment was carried out using the Environmental Provision Scale, WHOQOL-26 Scale and included personal characteristics. The results of the application of structural equation modeling showed that the model was almost adequate to our date. This means that more greater environmental has more good quality of life. The contribution rate for quality of life was 44%. These results suggested that, in order to raise the quality of life in schizophrenic outpatients, nurses must provide nursing intervention to raise patient's environmental provision.
