Statistical analysis used:Data analysis was carried out using independent t-test,paired t-test and One-way ANOVA. Results:Data analysis of modified CFS showed statistically significant results for all groups between before and after treat- ment.Within CFS,results of physical and psychological analysis showed significant results for all groups except before and after no treatment and secondary treatment.In the analysis of VAS,the experimental group showed a greater decrease in score compared to that of the control group and the average difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Although the results were not statistically significant(P>0.05),active oxygen levels for the control group showed little difference before and after no treatment(331.11 and 330.78,respectively)while the experimental group observed a decrease in active oxygen level before and after treatment(327.28 and 314.11,respectively).Conclusion:In conclusion,patients who received meridian massage showed decreased cancer related fatigue scores compared to the control.These results suggest that meridian massage may alleviate cancer-related fatigue and contribute to the improvement in quality of life among cancer patients.展开更多
目的了解江苏省某市心脑血管疾病患病情况,探讨患病与不患病居民理想心血管健康水平(ideal cardiovascularhealth,ICVH)与健康相关生命质量(health-related quality of life,HRQoL)关系的特点,为开发心脑血管疾病风险防控的策略提供证...目的了解江苏省某市心脑血管疾病患病情况,探讨患病与不患病居民理想心血管健康水平(ideal cardiovascularhealth,ICVH)与健康相关生命质量(health-related quality of life,HRQoL)关系的特点,为开发心脑血管疾病风险防控的策略提供证据。方法本研究基于2019年宿迁市人群慢性病防控社会因素专项调查,纳入江苏省宿迁市18岁以上常住居民21815名。采用广义线性模型探讨ICVH水平和健康描述系统和欧洲健康量表(EQ-VAS)评分的相关关系。结果2.9%调查对象患有冠心病,4.2%患有卒中,0.9%同时患有冠心病和卒中。ICVH得分均数为(8.57±2.24)分,EQ-VAS均分为(75.70±11.62)分。广义线性模型结果显示,随着ICVH等级的升高,健康相关生命质量呈上升趋势;不同疾病组别中,无病组和脑卒中组ICVH得分及EQ-VAS得分差异有统计学意义。结论一般人群ICVH评分越高HRQoL越好,提示改善心脑血管健康可能有助于提高人群HRQoL。展开更多
目的探究社会资本对慢性非传染性疾病患者生命质量的影响。方法本研究采用多阶段分层整群抽样方法抽取调查对象,由经过专业培训的调查员入户面对面进行问卷调查,采用五维五水平生存质量量表(European Quality of Life Five Dimension Fi...目的探究社会资本对慢性非传染性疾病患者生命质量的影响。方法本研究采用多阶段分层整群抽样方法抽取调查对象,由经过专业培训的调查员入户面对面进行问卷调查,采用五维五水平生存质量量表(European Quality of Life Five Dimension Five Level Scale Questionnaire,EQ-5D-5L)和自制社会资本量表调查其生命质量和社会资本情况。运用因子分析和Cronbach’sα系数检验自编社会资本量表信效度,χ2检验和Tobit回归模型分析社会资本对慢性非传染性疾病患者生命质量的影响。结果本研究自编的社会资本量表性能良好,Cronbach’sα系数为0.728,KMO值为0.716,Bartlett球形检验的结果为P<0.001,说明该数据适合使用因子分析。4个公因子累计解释了总变异的68.27%。调查对象的健康效用值为(0.869±0.181),能四处走动、自己洗澡穿衣和进行日常活动中完全没问题的调查对象占75.70%、80.10%和74.1%,疼痛或不舒服和焦虑或沮丧自觉没有任何困难的分别占43.40%和58.90%;EQ-5D-5L量表中躯体健康维度的自评健康影响因素为社区安全和人际网络关系,社会功能健康的影响因素为社区安全,精神健康受到社区安全、社区信任和人际网络关系的影响;社区安全提高一个等级,慢性非传染性疾病患者健康效用值增加0.046,人际网络关系增加一个等级,健康效用值增加0.037。结论慢性非传染性疾病患者的生命质量主要问题表现在精神健康维度,在治疗过程中应注重心理疏导,社区安全和人际网络关系是患者自评健康的保护因素,提供安全的社区环境,扩大人际网络改善人际关系有助于提高患者健康水平。展开更多
