Menopause Rating Scale

ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Penurunan harga diri wanita menopause akan memengaruhi kualitas hidupnya. Namun demikian masih sedikit informasi yang menjelaskan hubungan harga diri dengan kualitas hidup wanita menopause. Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan antara harga diri dengan kualitas hidup wanita menopause di Dusun Jogonalan Kidul Kasihan Bantul. Metode: Penelitian non eksperimen dengan rancangan penelitian cross sectional. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada Agustus-September 2011. Sebanyak 61 wanita menopause di Dusun Jogonalan Kidul Kasihan Bantul dipilih secara proporsional sampling. Semua wanita menopause yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi penelitian dimasukkan ke dalam sampel penelitian. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES) dan World Organization Quality of Live-Bref (WHOQOL-BREF). Ketiga kuesioner menggunakan versi Indonesia yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Analisis data menggunakan Spearman Rank. Hasil: Lebih dari setengah responden (65,67%) memiliki harga diri tinggi. Keluhan yang paling banyak dirasakan oleh responden adalah keluhan rasa tidak nyaman pada otot dan persendian (77,05%). Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan bahwa harga diri memiliki hubungan yang bermakna (p<0,05) dengan semua domain kualitas hidup yaitu hubungan positif yang kuat (r=0,839) untuk domain fisik, (r=0,826) untuk domain psikologi, (r=0,822) untuk domain hubungan sosial, (r=0,643) untuk domain lingkungan. Kesimpulan: Ada hubungan antara harga diri dengan kualitas hidup wanita menopause di Dusun Jogonalan Kidul Kasihan Bantul. Lebih dari setengah responden memiliki harga diri tinggi. Untuk itu, penyuluhan pada aspek psikologis tetap harus ditingkatkan dan perlu dukungan dari petugas kesehatan lain.Kata kunci: harga diri, kualitas hidup, wanita menopauseCORRELATION BETWEEN SELF-ESTEEM AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN MENOPAUSAL WOMENABSTRACTBackground: A decline in self-esteem of menopausal women will affect their life quality. However, there is only a little information that explains the correlation between self-esteem and quality of life in menopausal women. Objective: To identify the correlation between self-esteem and quality of life in menopausal women at Jogonalan Kidul Hamlet, Kasihan, Bantul. Methods: This research is non-experimental with cross sectional design. It was conducted in August-September 2011. 61 menopausal women in Jogonalan Kidul Hamlet, Poor Bantul were selected through proportional sampling. All menopausal women who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the research sample. Data were collected using Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) questionnaires, Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale (RSES) and Quality of Live- Breve World Organization (WHOQOL-BREF). The three questionnaires were in Indonesian version of which validity and reliability had been tested. Data were analyzed using Spearman’s Rank. Results: More than half of respondents (65.67%) had high self-esteem. Complaints that were felt by most respondents were complaints of discomfort in the muscles and joints (77.05 The results of statistical test show that self-esteem had a significant correlation (p<0.05) with all domains of quality of life that is a strong positive correlation (r=0.839) for physical domain, (r=0.826) for psychological domain, (r=0.822) for social relations domain, (r=0.643) for environmental domain. Conclusion: There is a correlation between self-esteem and quality of life in menopausal women at Jogonalan Kidul Hamlet, Kasihan, Bantul. More than half of the respondents have high self-esteem. Therefore, counseling for psychological aspects should still be improved and supported by other healthcare workers.Keywords: self-esteem, quality of life, menopausal women

Abstract Background This study evaluated whether providing intensive home treatment (IHT) to patients experiencing a psychiatric crisis has more effect on self-efficacy when compared to care as usual (CAU). Self-efficacy is a psychological concept closely related to one of the aims of IHT. Additionally, differential effects on self-efficacy among patients with different mental disorders and associations between self-efficacy and symptomatic recovery or quality of life were examined. Methods Data stem from a Zelen double consent randomised controlled trial (RCT), which assesses the effects of IHT compared to CAU on patients who experienced a psychiatric crisis. Data were collected at baseline, 6 and 26 weeks follow-up. Self-efficacy was measured using the Mental Health Confidence Scale. The 5-dimensional EuroQol instrument and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) were used to measure quality of life and symptomatic recovery, respectively. We used linear mixed modelling to estimate the associations with self-efficacy. Results Data of 142 participants were used. Overall, no difference between IHT and CAU was found with respect to self-efficacy (B = − 0.08, SE = 0.15, p = 0.57), and self-efficacy did not change over the period of 26 weeks (B = − 0.01, SE = 0.12, t (103.95) = − 0.06, p = 0.95). However, differential effects on self-efficacy over time were found for patients with different mental disorders (F(8, 219.33) = 3.75, p < 0.001). Additionally, self-efficacy was strongly associated with symptomatic recovery (total BPRS B = − 0.10, SE = 0.02, p < 0.00) and quality of life (B = 0.14, SE = 0.01, p < 0.001). Conclusions Although self-efficacy was associated with symptomatic recovery and quality of life, IHT does not have a supplementary effect on self-efficacy when compared to CAU. This result raises the question whether, and how, crisis care could be adapted to enhance self-efficacy, keeping in mind the development of self-efficacy in depressive, bipolar, personality, and schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders. The findings should be considered with some caution. This study lacked sufficient power to test small changes in self-efficacy and some mental disorders had a small sample size. Trial registration This trial is registered at Trialregister.nl, number NL6020.

Abstract Background/Aims  Fatigue has been reported by young people and professionals alike as a major challenge for people living with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) . It remains unclear as to how therapeutic interventions impacts on this major symptom. The aim of this review was to determine the current evidence for the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions, non- pharmacological and pharmacological, on improving fatigue in adolescents with JIA. Methods  Three electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO) were searched from 2000 to Feb 2020; in addition to manual searches. Articles were eligible for inclusion if they (i) were original research papers, (ii) had fatigue as a primary outcome measure (iii) included adolescents (10-25 years) and (iv) were available in the English language. Results  Of the 3,142 records identified, 31 underwent full text assessment and 4 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis including 2 from the Netherlands, 1 Germany, and 1 from Canada. The total number of participants across the 4 studies was 824. Three were randomised controlled trials of nonpharmacological interventions and one was a cohort study from a national drug registry including older adolescents JIA (mean: 19-years). Measurement tools included the Paediatric Quality of life multidimensional fatigue scale, (2 studies), the Checklist for Individual Strength CIS-20 (1 study), a numeric rating scale (1 study). In one study a visual analogue scale for energy level was also utilised. In 2 studies baseline prevalence of fatigue was reported as 60% and 76% respectively. Significant reduction in fatigue was observed in all three nonpharmacological studies. In the registry study, fatigue was noted to be prevalent in spite of the disease being in inactive or minimally active on biologic therapy. In 3 studies the relationship between health-related quality of life and fatigue was highlighted and showed a decreased quality of life in fatigued young people. Conclusion  Fatigue is a significant problem in JIA during adolescence and influences quality of life. Improvements in fatigue with non-pharmacological interventions have been reported. However, at present, data is insufficient to conclusively decide which treatment intervention is most efficacious in treating fatigue in young people with JIA. Fatigue should be considered as an important outcome measure for the management of JIA in future evaluations of interventions. Disclosure  S. Moshtael: None. S. Khanom: None. J.E. McDonagh: None.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> There is growing interest in using patient-reported outcomes as end points in clinical trials, such as the progressive supranuclear palsy quality of life (PSP-QoL) scale. However, this tool has not been widely validated and its correlation with validated motor scales has not been explored. To evaluate the potential utility of using PSP-QoL as an outcome, it is important to examine its relationship with a standard scale used to evaluate neurologic parameters, such as the PSP Rating Scale. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> PSP-QoL and PSP Rating Scale scores were gathered from 60 clinically diagnosed PSP patients, including patients with Richardson syndrome PSP (PSP-RS, <i>n</i> = 43) and those with non-RS PSP variants (<i>n</i> = 17). Linear regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, and disease duration was used to evaluate the cross-sectional relationship between the total and subscale scores of the 2 instruments. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Among 60 PSP patients, there was a significant correlation between total PSP-QoL and PSP Rating Scale scores. The physical and mentation subscales of each instrument also demonstrated significant correlations. Comparisons among PSP subtypes indicated that worsening PSP-QoL Total and Physical subscale scores correlated with worsening PSP Rating Scale gait subscale scores more strongly for the non-RS PSP variants than for PSP-RS. <b><i>Discussion:</i></b> There is a significant association between the total scores and many of the subscale scores of the PSP-QoL and the PSP Rating Scale. Additionally, the relationship between these measures may differ for PSP-RS and non-RS variants. These findings suggest that the PSP-QoL may be useful in clinical trials as a patient-reported outcome measure. Large prospective multicenter studies utilizing the PSP-QoL are necessary to examine its relationship to disease evolution and changes in the PSP Rating Scale.

Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is characterized for an uncomfortable sensation in legs and an irresistible desire to move them. This disorder has been more recently recognized in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and can interfere with the quality of life (QOL). Objectives: The aims of this study are to describe the prevalence of RLS and its severity and influence on the QOL in patients with MG. Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from May to June 2016 in Recife, Brazil. A sample of 42 patients was interviewed using a sociodemographic questionnaire, MG QOL questionnaire-15 and The RLS Rating Scale. Results: RLS was present in 47.6% of patients and of these 40.5% met moderate to severe RLS criteria. Patients were 45 years on average (SD ± 14.4) and women represented 57.1% of the study population. Among patients with RSL, the quality-of-life scores were worse (p = 0.010) on average. There was no association of RLS with the duration of MG, use of immunosuppressant or clinical conditions that could mimic the occurrence of RLS. Conclusion: RLS is a prevalent condition in patients with MG, and may be severe enough to negatively impact QOL.
