ABSTRACT Quality of life does not mean the length of life but the kind of life one lives. Caregivers on the other hand, are people who give care and support to another person whether a child, elderly, sick or to a physically or mentally challenged persons. This study was conducted in the National Center for Mental Health-Pavilion 2 Out-Patient Service and investigated the quality of life (QOL) of caregivers of patients with schizophrenia, the result of which became the basis for a hospital-based clinical intervention model. Descriptive-correlational was the approach. A random sample of 150 participants-caregivers answered the Personal Data Sheet and the WHO-Quality of Life-BREF (Filipino) questionnaire. The results of the research indicated that most of the caregivers were in the 50 and above age range, mostly parents, female, married, unemployed and reached or finished High School. The duration in caregiving is 10 years and above while the length in caregiving is 7 days a week. Majority of the caregivers has a moderate quality of life, with some in the good level and only a small number of caregivers have a poor quality of life. Pearson r computation revealed that there is an inverse significant relationship between quality of life of caregivers and age. However, there is no significant relationship between quality of life of caregivers and the length and duration of caregiving. Likewise, the t-test computation provides evidence that there is a significant difference in the quality of life of caregivers when grouped according to gender and not when grouped according to occupational status. On the other hand, the analysis of variance showed a significant difference in the quality of life of caregivers when grouped according to civil status and relation to patient. Educational attainment has no bearing on the quality of life of caregivers. The Crisis Debriefing, Assessment of Needs, Resources Enhancement and Education (C.A.R.E.) for Caregivers, a hospital based clinical intervention program, was developed as a result of the study and seeks to become an integral part of the Psychological Service activity. The objective is to assist the caregiver, specifically the older, female, widow and parent caregivers in improving their quality of life. This will also help them cope with their dual or multi-role of being a caregiver to their patient, their family and themselves.
