| Research Abstract |
We studied on attitude toward aging and preparing behavior for old age of patients with schizophrenia dwelling in the community. The results were as follows: (1) Attitude toward aging of patients with schizophrenia was positive than that of healthy group. (2) Preparing behavior was somehow poorer than healthy group. (3) Higher quality of life (QOL) was related to more positive attitude toward aging and longer hospitalized period was related to poorer preparing behavior. (4) For four years, preparing behavior has become more active. Result (4) suggests that patents may start active preparing behavior for old age, by improving social skill. In order to achieving successful aging of patients with schizophrenia, not only improving social functioning or QOL, but also preparing behavior for old age is required.
