Objective: To evaluate and specify the level of impact of these symptoms on the quality of life among women in the Qatif area, Saudi Arabia and to study the factors that may involve in their perception. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted of 151 women aged 40 - 60 years old interviewed at either hospital or PHCs, a translated and revised questionnaire of other studies with some adoption. Results: 151 women out of 200 participated in questionnaires, majority of them were highly educated having at least a bachelor’s degree around 80%, and around 75% of participants were either working or retired, with a moderate level of income and enjoying a good lifestyle 93% in around and 97% in the after menopause. With the majority, were not used hormones 95% or conceptive pills 91%, personal perception of health were high around 93% for around and 97.2% for after menopause with no significant statistical difference between the two groups. Conclusion: Perception and knowledge of menopause were very high, with no differences in the severity of symptoms of the four QOL domains for the around or after menopause among the participants. High level of education and increased level of income and knowledge of the participants may play an important role in the result, so further investigation is advised.展开更多
目的分析高血压患者生命质量(quality of life,QOL)的影响因素。方法应用SF-36量表(中文版)调查213例原发性高血压患者的QOL情况,以单因素方差分析、多元逐步线性回归对12种因素进行分析,寻找主要影响因素。结果年龄、居住地区、婚姻状...目的分析高血压患者生命质量(quality of life,QOL)的影响因素。方法应用SF-36量表(中文版)调查213例原发性高血压患者的QOL情况,以单因素方差分析、多元逐步线性回归对12种因素进行分析,寻找主要影响因素。结果年龄、居住地区、婚姻状况、在岗情况、血压控制情况、心功能、心血管系统合并症及家庭人均月收入对患者QOL总得分有显著影响。多元逐步线性回归分析显示,年龄、血压控制情况、心功能、心血管系统合并症及家庭人均月收入是主要影响因素,偏回归系数分别为-4.266、86.237、-48.048、-45.071和36.011。结论关注老龄及低收入高血压患者,积极控制血压、改善心功能、治疗心血管系统合并症对提高患者QOL有重要意义。展开更多
目的:应用UW-QOL第4版评价口腔鳞癌患者的生存质量(quality of life,QOL)。方法:采用直接翻译并经过适当修改的UW-QOL第4版,对97例确诊为口腔鳞癌的连续患者的术前QOL进行测量,术后3个月对其中55例患者的QOL作重复测量。采用SPSS12.0软...目的:应用UW-QOL第4版评价口腔鳞癌患者的生存质量(quality of life,QOL)。方法:采用直接翻译并经过适当修改的UW-QOL第4版,对97例确诊为口腔鳞癌的连续患者的术前QOL进行测量,术后3个月对其中55例患者的QOL作重复测量。采用SPSS12.0软件包分析量表的信度、效度和反应度。结果:量表总的克朗巴赫系数和分半信度分别为0.725和0.701;12个条目可提取4个因子,累计方差贡献率为65.4%;以SF-36中文版和FACT-H&N的头颈特异性子量表FACT-HN为效标,其效标效度分别为0.543和0.738;量表能敏感地区分已知的2组口腔癌患者术前QOL的差异及口腔癌患者QOL随时间的变化。结论:UW-QOL第4版具有良好的信度和反应度,其测定结构呈多维性,可用于中国人口腔癌患者生存质量的测量。展开更多

Methods： Self-developed demographic questionnaire, numeric rating scale and SF-36 questionnaire were used together among 643 cancer pain patients in 28 Grade 2nd to 3rd general hospitals and 2 Grade 3rd cancer hospitals. Results： The SF-36 eight dimensions scores ranged from 31.75 to 57.22 in these cancer pain patients. The t test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used to compare the QOL between pain controlled （PC） group and pain uncontrolled （PUC） group, and the results showed that patients in PC group had the higher O, OL scores in 6 areas of SF-36 （P〈0.05）. Binary logistic regression results found that pain management satisfaction scores （P〈0.001）, family average personal monthly income （P=0.029）, current receiving chemotherapy （P=0.009） and cancer stage （P〈0.001） were the predictors to cancer pain controlled results. Conclusion： Cancer patients with pain in Beijing had poor QOL. Pain control will improve the QOL of cancer pain patients.展开更多
