Background -Mental disorders have been found to affect quality of life (QOL) in patients. The current study aimed to determine QOL among first episode psychosis (FEP) patients and explore its associations with sociodemographic as well as clinical factors. Methods -Data for this study were collected as a part of an Early Psychosis Intervention Program (EPIP)-Smoking and Alcohol use survey. At baseline, 280 outpatients aged 15-40 years old diagnosed with FEP, with no prior or minimal treatment, no history of medical or neurological disorder, and no history of substance abuse, were recruited. Sociodemographic details, diagnosis, length of duration of untreated psychosis (DUP), and World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment-abbreviated version (WHOQOL-BREF) scores were obtained. Results -After adjusting for all covariates, older age ( p = 0.036), females, and participants diagnosed with brief psychotic disorder ( p = 0.04) were associated positively, whereas separated/divorced participants, those with lower education, unemployed ( p = 0.01), and longer DUP were seen to be negatively associated with different domains of QOL. Conclusion -Higher WHOQOL-BREF scores denote better QOL. Overall, female participants as compared to male participants and those diagnosed with brief psychotic disorder in this sample reported better QOL.
