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.

Introduction: Psychological and social effects of infertility may cause decline in the quality of life of infertile couples. A cross sectional study was conducted among 100 infertile couples, to find out the association between level of stress, anxiety and depression with their quality of life. Materials and methods: Data was collected using demographic and fertility information questionnaire, depression anxiety and stress scale (DASS-42) and fertility quality of life (fertiQol-malayalam). Results: Infertile couples experiences higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress and it is more among women,(depression-(15.36 +_ 9.23), stress(16.3+-7.52) anxiety (9.36+_6.33) than men (depression(12.52+_10.30 )(P=0.030), stress(12.84+_ 7.94 )(P=0-002 ) anxiety(7.50+_5-55). Levels of depression, anxiety and stress have significant negative relation with their quality of life. Infertile women has significantly lower quality of life (P= 0.002) than men. Conclusion: Interventions, to reduce depression, anxiety and stress among infertile couples may be helpful to improve their quality of life.

Perceived Quality Of Life

ABSTRACT Objectives: to compare the quality of life and religious-spiritual coping of palliative cancer care patients with a group of healthy participants; assess whether the perceived quality of life is associated with the religious-spiritual coping strategies; identify the clinical and sociodemographic variables related to quality of life and religious-spiritual coping. Method: cross-sectional study involving 96 palliative outpatient care patient at a public hospital in the interior of the state of São Paulo and 96 healthy volunteers, using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Brief Religious-Spiritual Coping scale. Results: 192 participants were interviewed who presented good quality of life and high use of Religious-Spiritual Coping. Greater use of negative Religious-Spiritual Coping was found in Group A, as well as lesser physical and psychological wellbeing and quality of life. An association was observed between quality of life scores and Religious-Spiritual Coping (p<0.01) in both groups. Male sex, Catholic religion and the Brief Religious-Spiritual Coping score independently influenced the quality of life scores (p<0.01). Conclusion: both groups presented high quality of life and Religious-Spiritual Coping scores. Male participants who were active Catholics with higher Religious-Spiritual Coping scores presented a better perceived quality of life, suggesting that this coping strategy can be stimulated in palliative care patients.

Abstract Background: Little is known about the quality of life (QOL) and health status of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) in developing countries. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the QOL and health status of adults with CHD and investigate the association between QOL and biological and social characteristics of these patients in Vietnam.Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among 109 adults with CHD, hospitalised in the Vietnam National Heart Institute, between June 2019 and December 2019. Validated instruments to assess QOL and health status describing patient-reported outcomes were used, including the EuroQOL-5 Dimensions-5 Level, Satisfaction with Life Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.Results: The overall mean scores on the EuroQOL-descriptive system (EQ-DS) and the EuroQOL visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) were 0.792 (SD = 0.122, 95% confidence interval, CI 0.769–0.815) and 66.3 (SD = 12.5, 95% CI 63.9–68.7), respectively. Symptoms of anxiety and depression were common among adults with CHD (18.7%, n = 20 and 11%, n = 12; respectively). Stratified multivariate logistic regression revealed: poor QOL using the EQ-DS, and that anxiety related to suffering from a complex CHD/ pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) (Odds Ratio, OR = 4.55, 95% CI: 1.26–16.4, p = 0.021 and OR = 4.19, 95% CI 1.2–14.56, p = 0.024; respectively); poor QOL using the EQ-VAS, anxiety, and depression related to being unemployed/ unstable employment (OR = 4.16, 95% CI 1.64–10.56, p = 0.003; OR = 3.63, 95% CI 1.23–10.72, p = 0.02 and OR = 7.68, 95% CI 2.09–28.25, p = 0.002; respectively); and life dissatisfaction related to being unmarried (OR = 4.63, 95% CI 1.2–17.86, p = 0.026).Conclusions: Adults with CHD in Vietnam experienced low QOL, and high levels of anxiety and depression. Poor QOL and psychological problems were related to being female, unmarried, low educational level, unemployed/ unstable employ, and complex CHD/ PAH.
