OBJETIVO: Investigar a associação entre depressão e qualidade de vida em jovens de 18 a 24 anos de idade. MÉTODO: Estudo transversal de base populacional, composto por 1.560 jovens de 18 a 24 anos residentes na zona urbana de Pelotas (RS). A seleção amostral foi realizada por conglomerados: da divisão censitária de 448 setores, 97 foram sorteados aleatoriamente. A avaliação da depressão foi realizada através do Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), e a qualidade de vida foi mensurada pela Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form General Health Survey (SF-36), ambos validados para uso em língua portuguesa. RESULTADOS: A prevalência de depressão foi de 12,6%. A média dos escores de qualidade de vida entre os oito domínios do SF-36 foi menor entre os jovens com depressão, apresentando associação significativa no teste t para todos os domínios (p = 0,000). CONCLUSÃO: Jovens com indicativo de depressão apresentaram menores níveis de qualidade de vida nos domínios explorados.

A prospective nonrandomized study of consecutive patients presenting to the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary for septoplasty was conducted to evaluate patient-based outcome. Patients received statistically validated measures of general health status (Short Form-12) and nasal specific health (Nasal Health Survey) before and 6 and 12 months after surgery. Multiple perioperative patient- and surgeon-dependent treatment variables were also evaluated to determine the impact on outcome. A total of 161 patients were entered into the study, and 93 were available for statistical analysis. At 9 months the mean follow-up (range 6–12 months), both symptom and medication subscores of the Nasal Health Survey, and the total score demonstrated significant improvement ( P < 0.05); 71% of patients had clinically significant improvement as determined by at least a 50% decrease in duration of nasal symptoms. Measures of general health did not differ significantly from normative values at baseline and did not change after surgical intervention. Predictor analysis revealed that female gender and a history of previous nasal surgery predicted worse outcome.

Hierarchical Scale

The unidimensionality and cumulativeness of the subscales Health Perceptions, Mental Health, Physical Pain, and Social Functioning of the MOS Short-form General Health Survey were investigated using the Mokken Scale Analysis for Polychotomous Items (MSP). From the analyses, two unidimensional, cumulative subscales appeared, Health Perceptions including the item on Social Functioning, and Mental Health. Both subscales met the requirements of the Mokken model, with the first scale being a ‘moderately strong’ hierarchical scale ( H = 0.49, rho = 0.89) and the second a ‘weak’ hierarchical scale ( H = 0.38, rho = 0.85).

Researchers concluded that Item 2 of the Short-form General Health Survey of the Medical Outcomes Study can be used as a single-item measure of health-related quality of life. This conclusion is tested again on a random sample of elderly people in the Netherlands. Although it can be concluded that the psychometric properties of the short form are satisfactory, the use of the single item as a measure of health-related quality of life is discussed.
