BACKGROUND While there has been an increase in the number of randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating treatment efficacy for HS, instrument measurements of disease severity and quality of life (QoL) are varied, making compilation of data and comparison between studies a challenge for clinicians. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to evaluate trends in disease severity scales and patient reported outcome measures used in RCTs assessing treatment interventions among HS patients. METHODS A primary systematic literature review was conducted in August 2020. PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were used to identify all articles published from January 1964 to July 2020. The study was prospectively registered with PROSPERO (ID: 209582). Twenty-five articles were included in the systematic review. RESULTS Sartorius and modified Sartorius scores (n=8), and Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical score (HiSCs) (n=8) were the most commonly used instruments for disease severity. Participants’ pain, followed by Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), were the most common QoL measures used in the reviewed studies. CONCLUSIONS Heterogeneity of data characterizing both the validity and reliability of existing outcome measures hinders interpretation and translation of the results from RCTs into clinical practice. Many of the QoL measures identified were not specific to HS and may not be representative of all factors impacting patients.

Background: The Simplified Psoriasis Index (SPI) is a summary measure of psoriasis for current severity (SPI-s), psychosocial impact (SPI-p), and past history and interventions (SPI-i). Two complementary versions are available, differing only in that current severity is either professionally (proSPI-s) or patient self-assessed (saSPI-s). They have been shown to be valid, reliable, and interpretable. Objective: The current study investigated whether the validity, reliability, and interpretability of SPI could be replicated in an independent study in a different population and setting. Methods: A validated translation of SPI into Thai was used to assess the validity and reliability of SPI for assessing psoriasis in 100 Thai patients. The interpretability of proSPI-s and saSPI-s was assessed in 289 Thai patients. Results: There were close correlations between Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and proSPI-s ( r = 0.84) and between PASI and saSPI-s ( r = 0.78). The SPI-p was closely correlated with the validated Thai version of the Dermatology Life Quality Index ( r = 0.78). Excellent intrarater (proSPI-s, saSPI-s, SPI-p, and SPI-i) reliability was demonstrated (all ICC ≥0.88). The PASI-equivalent cutoff scores for mild (PASI < 10) and severe psoriasis (PASI ≥ 20) were <9 and ≥18 for proSPI-s and <11 and ≥20 for saSPI-s. Conclusion: Our study confirms that SPI retains good validity and reliability in translation. The cutoff points we obtained were very close to those of the original study and confirmed that the originally proposed PASI-equivalent cutoff scores for mild and severe psoriasis of <9 and ≥18 for psoSPI-s and <10 and ≥20 for saSPI-s, respectively, were valid for use in a very different language and setting.

The article is devoted to the problem of evaluation of the working life quality of personnel of a modern Russian enterprise. On the basis of a survey of employees of enterprises in various spheres of activity in the Tyumen region using a full (dispensing) questionnaire, satisfactory and unsatisfactory criteria characterizing the quality of their working life are revealed. The research shows that within the framework of the motivational system, the provision of employees of the Tyumen region enterprises with social benefits ranks last, while the state's social policy is aimed at raising this indicator, at material and physical well-being, and at social and legal protection of the person. Social benefits and social guarantees form an important sphere of working life and contribute to a significant improvement in the quality of working life. Satisfaction with the work activity is formed under the influence of a large number of factors. Detailed study and analysis of each factor will improve the quality of working life of employees of the Tyumen region enterprises. The conducted research confirms that there are no violations in the sphere of legislative provision with social guarantees at the enterprises of the Tyumen region. This means that the payment of sick leave sheets and payments provided in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation are fully implemented without violating the deadlines. In addition, the civil rights of employees are respected and leave is granted in accordance with the schedule. On the basis of the study, the authors proposed ways to improve the quality of working life of employees in the Tyumen region.

Introduction. The article is devoted to analysis of the indicators’ dynamic that characterizes the quality of working life level in the Russian industrial sector. The aim of research is to identify and assess the influence of working life quality on economic efficiency of labor.Methods. The system of indicators for the period from 2005 to 2015 is determined on the basis of the analysis of existing assessment methods of working life quality and on official statistics data, which reflects the main elements of working life quality. Therefore, the most significant indicators of working life elements in terms of labor efficiency are determined by means of correlation analysis.Results. It is revealed that social guarantees, decent wages and safe working conditions, i.e. objective characteristics of working life quality, have the greatest impact on labor efficiency. As a result, the subjective characteristics such as job satisfaction and opportunities for self-expression and selfrealization, despite the long period of the market economy development, continue to play a secondary role. The demonstrated problem confirms the fact that the main block of working life quality for industrial workers is not fully ensured and is deterrent to the growth of labor efficiency as a socio-economic category.Discussion and conclusions. The results of this research indicate the availability of reserves to improve labor efficiency through the usage of modern methods of production organization to ensure economic conditions of decent work of industrial workers.

Abstract Precise estimation of life quality is of special importance in patients with chronic diseases, such as arterial hypertension. There are many questionnaires for that purpose. SF 36 with 8 domains has been proved as one of the most appropriate. To date, there was no translated and validated SF 36 in the Serbian language for hypertensive patients. The aim of this study was to test validity and reliability of the SF-36 in Serbian patients with diagnosed arterial hypertension. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was calculated to assess the internal consistency of the Serbian version of the SF-36. After deducting the overlap between each of the 36 items and its related domain, the collective validity was considered to be good if the correlation coefficient remains > 0.4. Only 2.54% answers to the questions were missing. The values of all 8 domains were higher in men than in women. Cronbach alpha coefficient was high for the SF-36, 0.897, and it suggests that the SF-36 had good internal reliability. All 8 domains showed high values of non-rotating factorial weights (>0.300) (range from 0.742-0.856), and all measure the same thing. It means that all components in this questionnaire measure the things they are assigned to.

Quality of life is one of the most important characteristics that reflects a comprehensive description of the level and living conditions. Nowadays quality of working life is an integral feature of “Quality of Life”. Quality of working life identifies working conditions and labor management. The quality of working life allows us to determine the working conditions, its organization from the perspective of the optimal realization of the abilities of employees.The article analyzes the domestic approaches to the definition and evaluation of the quality of working life. The conducted research allowed the authors to draw the following conclusions: the quality of working life is characterized by a multitude of indicators, and the required condition for studying the quality of working life is the development of techniques that allow the evaluation of the studied category.The goal is to evaluate the quality of working life in Russia.Methods. A number of indicators are presented to estimate the quality of working life of employees in the Russian Federation. According to the authors, those indicators are employment, labor safety, work safety, salary, and competence level and workforce productivity. The analysis that is based on data from Federal State Statistics Service has been done in view of gender factors and federal district differences. According to this analysis, the general part of workforce has jobs with harmful or dangerous working conditions. Extractive and process industries are considered the most hazardous.The article describes the method of integrated assessment of working life quality, based on the study of social and labor sphere of the Federal districts of Russia. Based on this author’s method, the integral indicators of the quality of working life of the population of the Russian Federation in the context of Federal districts are calculated and analyzed and the rating of each of them is determined.Results. The article notes that the quality of working life reflects not only the working conditions and its payment, but also the relations in the working collective, the motivation of the personnel to work. The most important motivational factors and characteristics of the socio-psychological climate of the enterprise are determined. The set of indicators, proposed by the authors and the methods of assessing the quality of the working life of the population can be useful to local governments for determining the rating of the quality of working life of officers in municipalities, and thus for making various managerial decisions.

The research features the quality of working life and its foundations, components, and measurement. The article describes and summarizes various theoretical and applied perspectives of the phenomenon. It presents authentic ideas on the theory of working life quality, as well as a list of key elements. The authors describe a case of the nurses working in the Regional Clinical Center of miners’ health. According to the author, the quality of working life is a particular case of the general quality of life and represents the degree of satisfaction of life-supporting (physically favorable environment), social, and spiritual needs through labor activity. The dual quality of working life is in two basic approaches to its measurement: objective and subjective. The quality of working life includes the content of the work; rewards (material and immaterial); working hours; working conditions; staff; public utility and prestige of work; development; career; social guarantees and non-material compensation. The options were found limited in the absence of a full list of indicators that actualized the use of sociological tools. The research scheme is based on the example of a sociological study of opinions formed integral indicators for each quality element. The total score was quite high. The formation of point management influences in relation to certain aspects of the quality of working life can improve the management systems of labor organization and personnel motivation.
