Considering the damage caused by schizophrenia and the world tendency to treat and include its patients in the community, it is essential to review the scientific literature concerning the influential factors associated with quality of life in this population. Method: A literature review was carried out aiming to describe which social roles influence the quality of life and which variables have been investigated. Results: We selected 17 \udstudies, mostly from European countries, conducted after 2000. Almost all studies were of the cross-sectional type and assessed outpatient samples. In general, most studies reported a better quality of life associated with a greater number of social roles.

Conclusions: The review reveals the necessity for more studies regarding quality of life and social roles in schizophrenia
