The data on indicators of psychological and physical components of health as the life of persons with comorbid states, who have taken the course of rehabilitation using the means of physical therapy, are given. Generally accepted method for calculating the components of the MOS SF-36 application form was applied in the research. It has been established that regardless of the type of chronic comorbid diseases or states, the physical component of health (PCS) is higher compared to the psychological component of health (MCS) in the integral indicator of quality of life. An individually compiled program of physical therapy, as a basic component of rehabilitation, has been positively reflected on the quality of life by increasing the psychological health indicator by 20.9%. An objective is the analysis of the dynamics of the components of the life quality in the process of 14-day program of physical therapy in patients with comorbid states. Materials and methods. 34 students of Lesia Ukrainka Volyn National University with various combinations of chronic diseases and states were researched. They have taken a 14-day rehabilitation course on the basis of the Western Rehabilitation and Sports Center of the National Committee of Sports of Disabled Persons of Ukraine during a rehabilitation meeting of persons with disabilities. The quality of life was evaluated by the method of two-time anonymous interviews using Medical Outome Study Short Form-36 (MOS SF-36). The statistical data processing was carried out using the MedStat program. The results. During the initial interview it was found out that among the components of physical and psychological aspects of health, the RP indicators were reflected most negatively on the life quality which characterize the activities conditioned by the physical state, operation at work, at home, and the VT indicator, which reflects vital activity as well. Focused 14-day rehabilitation program contributed to improve their values more than a third part of previous one. The PF indicator, that certifies the physical activity of the person, refers to the components that increase the general indicator of life quality of the students with comorbid states. The SF indicator refers to these components as well. It certifies the social activities of the above mentioned persons. Analyzing the dynamics of all indicators of life quality in the process of rehabilitation meeting, it follows that the range of changes varies from 4.2% to 41.7%. Regarding correlation links between the indicators of life quality, there were identified three direct links of moderate force at the beginning of the research: between PF and RE (R = 0.66); between GH and RE (R = 0.53) indicators; between VT and MH indicators (R = 0.62). After the rehabilitation program using physical therapy, a significant negative link between the values of BP and PF (R = -0.64) has been formed. Positive correlation of moderate force appeared between the GH and RP indicators (R = 0.53); between the MH and RP indicator (R = 0.59), GH (R = 0.58), VT (R = 0.63). Conclusions. The comorbid state is negatively reflected on the quality of life, on the perception of capabilities and restrictions. The two-week rehabilitation course using physical therapy means allowed participants of the research to change the perception of their state, capabilities and restrictions in everyday life.

Purpose of the study. Assessing the association between the life quality of patients with Sjogren’s Disease and ongoing therapy with various disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.Material and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of the regional rheumatology center of the consultative diagnostic clinic of the Sverdlovsk Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1. This work is based on the results of a simultaneous study of 74 patients with primary Sjogren’s Disease (SD), distributed in three comparison groups receiving various disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs chlorambucil, methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine. The diagnosis of SD was carried out according to European-American criteria AECGC (2002) [18]. In order to analyze the quality of life of patients with SD, the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF‑36) was used. Statistical data processing was carried out using Statistica 7.0 program.Results. Assessment of the quality of life of patients with SD, which is an integrative criterion of human health and well-being, revealed the absence of statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) on eight scales and two health components of the SF‑36 questionnaire in the analyzed groups that differ in the treatment of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs chlorambucil, methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine.Conclusions. The obtained data indicate an equivalent quality of life in SD patients treated with different disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs methotrexate, chlorambucil and hydroxychloroquine, and therefore hydroxychloroquine can be considered as an alternative basic therapy in patients with SD with certain limitations and contraindications methotrexate and chlorambucil.

AbstractThis study has analyzed 41 patients with mandibular ameloblastoma who underwent a partial mandibulectomy and reconstruction by folding the free fibular flap. In the preoperative and postoperative (6 months and 24 months after surgery), the Quality of Life (QOL) of these patients was assessed by using the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (UW-QOL) and the medical outcome study short form-36 (SF-36) questionnaires. SPSS 20.0 statistical software was used to conduct statistical analysis on the base data of the two groups of patients. Independent sample t test was conducted for sf-36 and UW-QOL scores at two time points in each group. The SF-36 survey showed that body pain (54.54 ± 8.10), general health (55.27 ± 7.54), and health changes (58.29 ± 9.60) decreased significantly at 6 months after surgery, but the mean score at 24 months after surgery all exceeded the preoperational level. At 24 months after the surgery, the vitality (80.41 ± 3.74), social function (81.61 ± 4.07), emotional role (82.39 ± 4.07), psychological health (81.66 ± 4.37) and total score (704.00 ± 31.53) all returned to the preoperative level, which was statistically significant compared with 6 months after surgery. However, there was no significant difference compared with the preoperative level. The UW-QOL survey showed that chewing (56.68 ± 7.23), speech (54.54 ± 7.7) and taste (62.29 ± 10.15) have significantly changed at 6 months after the surgery, and the difference was statistically significant at 24 months after surgery. Saliva generation decreased slightly (80.76 ± 3.35) at 6 months after surgery, but quickly returned to the preoperative level (81.59 ± 4.06). The total score of the patients almost recovered to the preoperative level at 24 months after surgery. The folded the fibular flap can not only repair the defects of soft tissue and bone tissue, but also restore the height of the alveolar ridge to, avoid the imbalance of crown and root ratio after implantation and reduce the occurrence of peri-implant inflammation, so that a true functional reconstruction can be realized.

Background:This paper is an assessment of quality-of-life for patients living with osteoporosis. It employs special questionnaires and scales to allow for more detailed observation of the patient both during initial treatment and in dynamics. This allows us to establish the effectiveness of the therapy, to assess the need to correct the treatment and rehabilitation program, and to compare the effectiveness of various treatment methods and determine disease prognosis.Objectives:to assess quality-of-life in patients with osteoporosis for further development of treatment and rehabilitation programs.Methods:To assess the quality-of-life in patients with osteoporosis, HRQOL and SF-36 scale were used. The study was conducted from January to December 2019, at the Republican Clinical Hospital of the Chuvash Republic. The study involved 70 patients (n = 70) with a diagnosis of osteoporosis with a pathological fracture. Of the 70 patients included in the study, 35 women aged 67 ± 1.2 years and 35 men aged 60 ± 1.2 years. The results were statistically processed using MS Office Excel programs.Results:According to the analysis carried out by the HRQOL method, more than half of the patients (52.13%) experienced daily back pain, which worsens their mood and well-being. When assessing the degree of pain, almost half of the patients (48.73%) rated their pain by VAS as moderate. Moreover, most of the respondents experienced a “significant” (46.51%) or “moderate” (34.29%) decrease in social activity due to pain syndrome associated with osteoporosis. In connection with this, 44.51% rated their satisfaction with their lives as “average degree of satisfaction”.When analyzing the quality-of-life indicators according to the SF-36 scales, we determined that the mental component of health predominates for women (The Short Form-36: MH=68,6±3,45 (Men: MH=48,5±2,85)). In men, high quantitative values of the scales “physical” and “role physical functioning” (The Short Form-36: PF=62,5±3,33; RP=58,4±3,81) indicate a more pronounced nature of changes in somatic status, which has a significant impact on the quality-of-life. The intensity of pain was perceived to be higher by men (The Short Form-36: BP=75,6±4,06) than by women (The Short Form-36: BP=35,7±1,86). This confirms that osteoporosis and its complications negatively affect the human psyche and can significantly worsen the quality-of-life.Conclusion:Analysis of quality-of-life indicators using the SF-36, HRQOL method contributes to a more correct choice of effective strategy for specialized medical care and rehabilitation for patients with osteoporosis. This choice should be developed individually, taking into account the age, gender characteristics, the severity of structural and functional disorders and the psychological state of the patient. It must also take into account the presence and severity of concomitant diseases, which will require additional research and discussion at different levels of the organization of medical care.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract Objective The purposes of this study were to explore the associations of activities of daily living (ADL) and depression among older adults with family caregivers’ quality of life and provide evidence for improving family caregivers’ quality of life. Methods Older adults (n=395) and their family caregivers (n=395) were selected as participants. The ADL scale and Geriatric Depression Scale were used to assess ADL and depression among older adults, and the 36-Item Short Form Health Questionnaire (SF-36) was used to assess family caregivers’ quality of life. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data. Results The older adults’ ADL and depression scores were 21±7 and 11±6, respectively. Approximately 69.9% of older adults had declining or severely impaired ADL, and 47.1% had mild or moderate-to-severe depression. Family caregivers’ mean quality of life score was 529±100. There was a negative correlation of older adults’ ADL and depression with caregivers’ quality of life. The correlation coefficient between ADL and the SF-36 mental component summary score was stronger than it was with the SF-36 physical component summary score. Conclusions The ADL and depression of older adults influenced family caregivers’ quality of life. Psychological health deserves closer attention, especially that of caregivers of disabled older adults.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Traumatic hand injury causes chronic disability. A large number of studies have reported impairments in clinical parameters, but few studies have described their disability experience. Aims To examine the functional disability and quality of life in traumatic hand injured patients receiving physical therapy. Settings and Design: The physiotherapy department in a multi-specialty public sector hospital. Convenient sampling method was used. Materials and Methods: The 36-item short-form health survey–MOS (SF-36, v2) and disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire were obtained and subjects were given physiotherapy, accordingly to their condition. Questionnaires were re-administered every month till discharge. Statistical Analysis Used: A One-way ANOVA test. Results: At end of 6 months, among eight subscales of SF-36, there is improvement in mean scores of physical functioning (39.1%). The bodily pain, general health, vitality, social function, and mental health had more than 100% improvement. DASH showed regression in disability (50.8%). Conclusions: Measuring quality of life (QOL) can provide detailed assessment of physical disability and treatment effects as well as the global impact of those effects on the person's daily life. Hence, the use of self-report questionnaires such as DASH and SF-36, combined with physical performance score, helps to achieve more comprehensive evaluation of outcome.

Background:The high incidence of ankylosing spondylite (AS) in people of working age, as well as the negative impact of the disease on the quality of life of patients, determine the need for adjuvants to reduce the severity of pain and thereby achieve the physical, psychological and emotional well-being of patients.Objectives:To study the effect of vitamin D (colecalciferol) on the quality of life and the severity of pain in patients with ankylosing spondylite.Methods:The study included 69 patients with AS, who studied the quality of life indicators according to the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-36); pain syndrome and stiffness in the spine were assessed by a visual analogue scale by patients, and by a physician - by counting the number of painful joints (NPJ), the disease activity index (BASDAI) and the Functional Index (BASFI). All patients were receiving a basic therapy in a stable dose for at least 10 months. They were divided into 2 groups, comparable in age, disease activity; Group 1 (n = 33) additionally received colecalciferol 1500 МЕ during 6 months of observation.Results:At the end of the observation period when evaluating data on SF-36: in the 1st group, the physical health component has improved - the increase in physical functioning (PF) and bodily pain (BP) by 51.4% and 37.8% from the baseline; vital activity, psychological health, and social functioning due to emotional state have also increased by 37.6%, 33.4% and 42.5%, respectively. In the 2nd group above mentioned parameters have not changed. In the 1st group the indexes of BASDAI and BASFI have decreased by 16% and 22% (p = 0.0079, p = 0.0022, respectively), and their dynamics in the 2nd group were less significant (p = 0.013, p = 0.017, respectively) Also, in patients of the 1st group have decreased the severity of morning stiffness and the pain in the spine a highly reliable (p < 0.001), and in the 2nd group they were less significant (p = 0.043, p = 0.016, respectively). Positive dynamics of NPJ in the 1st group was more significant (p = 0.003) than it was in the 2nd group (p = 0.033).Conclusion:In the group of patients treated with colecalciferol was noted improvement in indicators of quality of life (the parameters of the physical component of health, vitality and social functioning) and also more significant decrease of the intensity of pain and of morning stiffness duration, of NPJ, than in not received to colecalciferol patients. Inclusion of vitamin D in the comprehensive AS therapy promotes not only reduction the severity of the chronic pain manifestations, but also improves the quality of life of patients with this pathology.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Objective: To develop and validate a Thai version of the Wisconsin Quality of Life (TH WISQoL) Questionnaire. Materials and Methods: The authors developed the TH WISQoL Questionnaire based on a standard multi-step process. Subsequently, the authors recruited patients with kidney stone and requested them to complete the TH WISQoL and a validated Thai version of the 36-Item Short Form Survey (TH SF-36). The authors calculated the internal consistency and interdomain correlation of TH WISQoL and compared the convergent validity between the two instruments. Results: Thirty kidney stone patients completed the TH WISQoL and the TH SF-36. The TH WISQoL showed acceptable internal consistency for all domains (Cronbach’s alpha 0.768 to 0.909). Interdomain correlation was high for most domains (r=0.698 to 0.779), except for the correlation between Vitality and Disease domains, which showed a moderate correlation (r=0.575). For convergent validity, TH WISQoL demonstrated a good overall correlation to TH SF-36, (r=0.796, p<0.05). Conclusion: The TH WISQoL is valid and reliable for evaluating the quality of life of Thai patients with kidney stone. A further large-scale multi-center study is warranted to confirm its applicability in Thailand. Keywords: Quality of life, Kidney stone, Validation, Outcome measurement

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of treatment with Peruíbe Black Mud (PBM) on the clinical parameters and quality of life of patients with knee osteoarthritis and to compare the effects of PBM samples simply matured in seawater and PBM sterilized by gamma radiation. A controlled, double-blind trial was conducted with 41 patients divided into two treatment groups composed of 20 and 21 patients: one group was treated with matured PBM and the other with sterilized PBM. Evaluations were done using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaires, the Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) radiographic scale, and the quantification of the serum levels of inflammatory biomarkers. An improvement in pain, physical functions, and quality of life was observed in all of the patients who underwent treatment with both simply matured and sterilized PBM. Nine patients showed remission in the KL radiographic scale, but no statistically significant differences were observed in the serum levels of inflammatory mediators before or after treatment. Peruíbe Black Mud proves to be a useful tool as an adjuvant treatment for knee osteoarthritis (OA), as shown by the results of the WOMAC and SF-36 questionnaires and by the remission of the radiographic grade of some patients on the Kellgren and Lawrence scale.

Dietitians as healthcare professionals could decrease their quality of life during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic period; therefore, this study aimed to compare Brazilian dietitians’ perceptions of quality of life before and during the pandemic. This nationwide cross-sectional research aimed to evaluate Brazilian dietitians’ quality of life before and in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, using a previously validated self-administered instrument WHO-QOL-BREF in Brazilian-Portuguese. The questionnaire was composed of 26 items (four domains) to evaluate life quality (physical, psychological, social relationship, and environment). The questionnaire also presented some sociodemographic variables and three questions about the COVID-19 pandemic. It was applied using GoogleForms® platform (Google LLC, Mountain View, CA, USA). For the statistical analysis of data, Paired T-test, Chi-squared test, and Analysis of Variance were used. A total of 1290 Brazilian dietitians replied to the instrument. Comparing quality of life (QoL) before SARS-COV-2 (3.83 ± 0.59) and during the pandemic (3.36 ± 0.66), data was statistically different. Comparing prior and in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, all variables and domains presented statistical differences (better before the pandemic period). Among Brazilian dietitians, the psychological health domain was the most affected. The Sars-Cov-2 pandemic negatively impacted the QoL of Brazilian dietitians since health professionals face changes in their lives because of work.
