Perceived Quality Of Life

The presence of venous leg ulcers (VLU) is associated with emotional disorders in individuals who have conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and sleeping problems, which result in a reduced perceived quality of life by these individuals. The study aim was to describe the perceived quality of life and associated factors for individuals with VLU. We conducted a cross-sectional study in 22 primary care health centers with a sample of 93 individuals with VLU. The variables collected were the following: perceived quality of life measured with Spanish version of the Charing Cross Venous Ulcer Questionnaire (CCVUQ-e), ulcer severity measured with the RESVECH 2.0 Score, demographic variables, and those related to the healing process. The results showed a mean CCVUQ-e score of 47.4 ± 11.8 points (Mean ± SD), with the most affected dimension being the emotional status, followed by cosmesis, social interaction, and domestic activities. The mean RESVECH 2.0 score was 11.1 ± 3.7 points. An association was found between ulcer-related pain and poorer quality of life ( P < .05, t test) and between erythema in perilesional skin and poorer quality life ( P < .05, t test). The signs of infection and inflammation in the VLUs were as follows: increasing exudate, friable tissue, and biofilm-compatible tissue, which were associated with a poorer quality of life ( P < .05, t test). The multivariate model was statistically significant and explained a variability of 26% in the CCVUQ-e score. This study confirms that wound severity, pain, and signs of infection in VLU decrease the perceived quality of life of individuals with these wounds.

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the factors associated with disease-specific quality of life in Taiwanese patients with ankylosing spondylitis.DesignA cross-sectional study.SettingA regional teaching hospital in southern Taiwan.ParticipantsAdult patients with ankylosing spondylitis recruited from the outpatient rheumatology clinics of the study hospital.Primary outcome measureDisease-specific quality of life assessed by the Evaluation of Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (EASi-QoL).ResultsOf the 265 patients, 57% were 20–49 years of age, with a male preponderance (75.5%). Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis indicated that a higher disease activity, assessed by the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score, was significantly and independently associated with a lower quality of life in all four domains (physical function, disease activity, emotional well-being and social participation) of the EASi-QoL. In addition, various independent factors, including educational level, nature of occupation, disease duration, dietary habit and body mass index, were significantly associated with different domains of the EASi-QoL.ConclusionsOur findings indicated that, in addition to disease activity and perceived health status, a number of other factors could significantly impact the different aspects of quality of life in patients with ankylosing spondylitis, which warrant special consideration and support from healthcare providers.
