The purpose of this study, conducted and completed before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, was to find correlations among psychiatric symptoms detected by a screening tool as the General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28) and the different domains of HRQOL measured with the SF-36 health survey (SF-36), in order to identify ICU survivors with Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) who need a specific psychiatric intervention to improve their HRQOL. Among 298 ICU survivors who stayed in the ICU for at least 72 hours, 48 patients were enrolled one year after discharge undergoing a clinical interview to assess their functional impairment (Barthel index), mental health (GHQ-28), and health-related quality of life (SF-36). 19% of those subjects had a GHQ-28 ≥ 5 and were identified as “psychiatric cases”, and they were older and experienced a greater impairment in HRQOL. Anxiety, insomnia, and depressive symptoms seemed to be particularly involved in the impairment of HRQOL. A negative correlation between GHQ-28 total scores and subscales and SF-36 subscales was found. Our findings highlighted that psychological distress in ICU survivors may negatively impact physical health recovery and quality of life;conversely, physical impairment and functional disability may trigger the onset of psychiatric symptoms after discharge. The present study is firstly to investigate the correlations between HRQOL and psychological distress in ICU survivors through the GHQ-28, and then affirms the need to carry out follow-up checks for psychiatric symptoms in ICU survivors.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
