Methodology  This study included a sample of 268 participants. An interview was conducted to obtain sociodemographic and clinical data, supplemented with two assessment tools used to evaluate quality of life (World Health Organization Quality of Life instrument-Abbreviated version \u2013 WHOQOL-Bref) and satisfaction with social support (Social Support Satisfaction Scale \u2013 SSSS). Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed.  Results  Most individuals were male (63.4%), with a mean age of 45.4 years, single (85.4%), living with their family (62.3%) and unemployed (90.3%). As for clinical characteristics, most had the disease for less than 20 years (50.7%), and 55.6% had at least one hospitalization within the last 5 years. Being employed and having had no hospitalization within the last 5 years were positively correlated with one or more WHOQOL-Bref domains. The results of the variables intimacy (p&lt;0.001) and satisfaction with friends (p&lt;0.001) were independently related to the total WHOQOL-Bref score.  Conclusion  Having a job, having had no hospitalization within the last 5 years and having greater satisfaction with social support are factors that positively influence quality of life among schizophrenics. It is therefore crucial that the psychosocial rehabilitation of patients with schizophrenia take these factors into account, increasing the support network, preventing relapses and promoting occupational activities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/2237-6089-2017-0002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,9]],"date-time":"2018-03-09T18:40:26Z","timestamp":1520620826000},"page":"202-209","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Quality
