The objectives of this study were to translate and validate a liver specific questionnaire, the CLDQ.METHODS: The CLDQ was formally translated from the original version to Thai language with permission. The translation process included forward translation, back translation, cross-cultural adaptation and a pretest. Reliability and validity of the translated version was examined in CLD patients. Enrolled subjects included CLD and normal subjects with age- and sex-matched. Collected data were demography,physical findings and biochemical tests. All subjects were asked to complete the translated versions of CLDQ and SF36, which was previously validated. Cronbach's alpha and test-retest were performed for reliability analysis. One-way Anova or non-parametric method was used to determine discriminant validity. Spearman's rank correlation was used to assess convergent validity. P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.RESULTS: A total of 200 subjects were recruited into the study, with 150 CLD and 50 normal subjects. Mean ages(SD) were 47.3(11.7) and 49.1(8.5) years, respectively. The number of chronic hepatitis: cirrhosis was 76:74, and the ratio of cirrhotic patients classified as Child A:B:C was 37(50%): 26(35%): 11(15%). Cronbach's alpha of the overall CLDQ scores was 0.96 and of all domains were higher than 0.93. Item-total correlation was>0.45. Test-retest reliability done at 1 to 4 wk apart was 0.88 for the average CLDQ score and from 0.68 to 0.90 for domain scores. The CLDQ was found to have discriminant validity. The highest scores of CLDQ domains were in the normal group, scores were lower in the compensated group and lowest in the decompensated group. The significant correlation between domains of the CLDQ and SF-36 was found. The average CLDQ score was strongly correlated with the general health domain of SF-36. (P=0.69: P=0.01).CONCLUSION: The translated CLDQ is valid and applicable in Thais with CLD. CLDQ reveals that QOL in these patients is lower than that in normal population. QOL is more impaired in advanced stage of CLD.展开更多

文摘目的 探究入院-出院-随访一站式护理服务模式在中枢神经系统特发性炎性脱髓鞘病(central nervous system-idiopathic infl ammatory demyelinating diseases,CNS-IIDDs)患者中的应用效果。方法 选择2021年1月—2022年6月收治的60例CNS-IIDDs患者作为研究对象,按照组间基线资料均衡可比的原则分为对照组和观察组,各30例。对照组使用常规护理服务模式;观察组在对照组基础上实施入院-出院-随访一站式护理服务模式。采用疾病不确定感成人量表(Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale,MUIS-A)和疾病不确定感社区量表(Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale Community Form,MUIS-CF)评价两组患者疾病不确定感,采用Morisky服药依从性量表(Morisky Medication Adherence Scale,MMAS-8)评价患者的用药依从性,采用焦虑自评量表(Self-Rating Anxiety Scale,SAS)和抑郁自评量表(Self-Rating Depression Scale,SDS)评价患者的心理状态,采用简明健康调查量表(the Mos Item Short From Health Survey,SF-36)和满意度评价量表分别评价患者的生存质量及护理满意度。结果 干预后,观察组患者MUIS-A、MUIS-CF、SAS、SDS评分均低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);观察组患者依从性高于对照组,生存质量各项维度评分和护理满意度总分均高于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 入院-出院-随访一站式护理服务模式可以降低CNS-IIDDs患者疾病不确定感,提升其用药依从性,有利于改善患者的心理状态和生存质量,有效提升患者护理满意度。
