Functioning and Quality of Life Among Adults with Psychotic Disorders in Tanzania: KUPAA Clinical Trial
Key Findings and Implications
Understanding the functioning and quality of life of individuals with psychotic disorders is essential for informing policies and programs in low-resource settings like urban Tanzania.
Results from the KUPAA clinical trial revealed that higher disability was associated with factors such as food insecurity, symptom severity, self-stigma, and low levels of support and hope. On the other hand, higher quality of life was linked to factors including self-efficacy, hopefulness, support, reduced self-stigma, and better family functioning.
Identifying these factors can help clinicians and policymakers in co-designing and targeting psychosocial interventions to improve the lives of individuals receiving mental health services in low-resource settings. This insight can lead to more impactful and targeted support for this population.
