ABSTRACT Background: Osteoarthritis (OA), especially knee OA, is the fourth cause of disability in the world. OA affected the daily physical activity and quality of life of the patients. This study aimed to analyze the various factors that affect nutritional, physical, psychosocial, and comorbid disease affecting quality of life in knee osteoarthritis patients at William Booth hospital, Semarang, Central Java. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted at William Booth Hospital, Semarang, Central Java. A sample of 79 patients with knee osteoarthritis was selected by simple random sampling. The dependent variable was the quality of life. The independent variables were age, nutritional status, pain intensity, radiological features, family function, length of illness, unilateral/ bilateral OA knee, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. The data were analyzed by chi-square. Results: Osteoarthritis in elderlies was significantly associated with age (p <0.001), nutritional status (p <0.001), pain intensity (p <0.001), radiological features (p= 0.020), and family function (p <0.001). Osteoarthritis in elderlies was insignificantly associated with length of illness (p= 0.445), unilateral/ bilateral OA knee (p= 0.153), hypertension (p= 0.272), and diabetes mellitus (p= 0.617). Conclusion: Osteoarthritis in elderlies is significantly associated with age, nutritional status, pain intensity, radiological features, and family function, but insignificantly associated with length of illness, unilateral/ bilateral OA knee, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus.

Background: Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is characterized for an uncomfortable sensation in legs and an irresistible desire to move them. This disorder has been more recently recognized in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) and can interfere with the quality of life (QOL). Objectives: The aims of this study are to describe the prevalence of RLS and its severity and influence on the QOL in patients with MG. Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from May to June 2016 in Recife, Brazil. A sample of 42 patients was interviewed using a sociodemographic questionnaire, MG QOL questionnaire-15 and The RLS Rating Scale. Results: RLS was present in 47.6% of patients and of these 40.5% met moderate to severe RLS criteria. Patients were 45 years on average (SD ± 14.4) and women represented 57.1% of the study population. Among patients with RSL, the quality-of-life scores were worse (p = 0.010) on average. There was no association of RLS with the duration of MG, use of immunosuppressant or clinical conditions that could mimic the occurrence of RLS. Conclusion: RLS is a prevalent condition in patients with MG, and may be severe enough to negatively impact QOL.

Background/Aim. Acne is a common problem in adolescent children with considerable emotional and psychological effects. The aim of this study was to determine the self-reported prevalence of acne and to assess its impact on the quality of life in high school pupils in Serbia. Methods. The cross-sectional study was conducted in May 2011 in two medical high schools in Serbia. Only pupils who gave a written informed consent to participate in the study (n = 440) were asked to fill in two questionnaires: short demographic questionnaire and Cardiff Acne Disability Index (CADI), a disease-specific questionnaire measuring disability induced by acne. Internal consistency (tested by Cronbach?s alpha) and item-total score correlations (Spearman's correlation analysis) were used for reliability analyses. Results. The study population consisted of 440 pupils, 281 from Belgrade and 159 from Uzice. Among them 371 (84.3%) were girls and 69 (15.7%) boys, with similar sex distribution in Belgrade and Uzice. The total mean age of pupils was 16.48 years (SD = 0.55). Out of 440 pupils 228 (51.8%) self-reported their acne. The acne prevalence was significantly higher in pupils from Uzice (73.6%) than in those from Belgrade (39.6%). The overall mean CADI score for the whole sample was 2.87 ? 2.74, with the similar quality of life impairment in adolescents from Belgrade and from Uzice. The mean Cronbach?s alpha was 0.82. Conclusion. This study shows that the quality of life impairment due to acne is mild for the majority of the affected pupils. The Serbian version of the CADI is a reliable, valid, and valuable tool for assessing the impact of acne on the quality of life.

Abstract Backgroud Family is the most important social support available to hypertensive patients, which may affect their health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and health outcomes. However, data on the relationship between family function and HRQOL among hypertensive residents are sparse, particularly for those low-income residents with hypertension. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of family function on physical and mental health among low-income residents with hypertension in Central China, and to explore the independent contributions of socio-demographic variables, health-related factors and family function to each domain of HRQOL. Methods This cross-sectional, community-based survey, studied 295 low-income residents with hypertension. Family function was measured using the Family APGAR Index (Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve). HRQOL was assessed using the SF-12 Questionnaire. Clustered multiple linear regressions were used to analyze the independent contributions of family function to each domain of HRQOL.Results 35.90% of low-income hypertensive residents had highly functional family. Multiple regression analyses showed that those with higher Family APGAR scores obtained higher general health (β=0.168, P=0.008), bodily pain(β=0.167, P=0.008), mental component summary (β=0.330, P<0.001), role limitations due to emotional problems (β=0.138, P=0.022), mental health (β=0.302, P<0.001), vitality (β=0.264, P<0.001), and social function (β=0.312, P<0.001) scores, whereas no independent contribution of family function to physical component summary was observed. On these subscales, the independent contributions of family function accounted for 15.75%, 14.29%, 39.63%, 5.47%, 94.67%, 51.92% and 57.58%, respectively (more than all socio-demographic and health-related variables in the MH, VT and SF domains). Conclusion Family function was significantly associated with HRQOL among low-income hypertensive residents. This relation holds for both mental component summary and each of its individual domains, as well as partial physical domains.

Abstrak. Perubahan standar kehidupan Warga Binaan Pemasyarakatan (WBP) yang tidak sesuai dengan target pencapaian memberikan pengaruh terhadap kesehatan mental khususnya kualitas hidup. Namun, penelitian yang membahas mengenai kualitas hidup berdasarkan empat domain (fisik, psikologis, hubungan sosial, dan lingkungan) di Lapas belum tersedia sehingga penelitian ini perlu dilakukan untuk melihat gambaran kualitas hidup WBP. Penelitian menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan jumlah sampel 100 WBP laki-laki yang didapatkan melalui teknik systemic random sampling di salah satu Lapas Provinsi Jawa Tengah tahun 2019. Menghuni Lapas maksimal 18 bulan, tidak mendapat kunjungan keluarga secara langsung menjadi kriteria penentuan sampel. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah WHOQOL-BREF. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kualitas hidup berdasarkan domain fisik WBP 63%, psikologis 63%, hubungan sosial 56%, dan lingkungan 50%. Simpulan yang dapat diambil adalah bahwa kesehatan mental WBP dapat dilihat dari gambaran kualitas hidup. Hasil penelitian ini akan memudahkan perawat komunitas dalam menentukan masalah dan intervensi keperawatan yang tepat dalam menangani permasalahan di Lapas.Kata kunci: Penjara, perawat Lapas, kualitas hidup, warga binaan. Mental Health Prisoners Based On Quality Of Life: An Overview Abstract. Changes in prisoners living standards that did not accordance with the achievement targets have an impact on mental health especially their quality of life. However, research that discusses the quality of life based on four domains (physical, psychological, social relations, and environment) in prison is not yet available so this research needs to be done to see an overview of prisoners quality of life. This study used a cross sectional design with 100 male prisoners as sample that obtained through systemic random sampling techniques in one of Central Java Prison in 2019. Inhabiting the prison for a maximum of 18 months, no direct family visits were the criteria for determining the sample. The instrument used in this study was WHOQOL-BREF. The results showed that quality of life was based on the physical domain of WBP 63%, psychological 63%, social relations 56%, and environment 50%. The conclusion is mental health can be know from quality of life overview. This research can facilitate community nurses in determining problems and appropriate nursing interventions in dealing with quality of life problems in correctional institutions.

Aim: To determine the magnitude of presbyopia and the effect of uncorrected presbyopia on vision-related quality of life in Calabar South, Nigeria. Study Design: A community-based, descriptive cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Calabar South Local Government Area, Nigeria, between November 2016 and February 2017. Methods: We included 422 adults (198 men, 224 women) aged 35 years and above, selected by cluster random sampling. Subjective distance refraction was done on all participants with distant visual acuity less than 6/6. Near visual acuity was assessed at 40 centimetres with a Times Roman near vision (British N system) chart, with distant correction in place if required. Presbyopia was defined as inability to read N8 at 40 centimetres unaided or with habitually worn distance refractive correction, with improvement of near vision by at least one line on a Times Roman near vision chart with use of a plus lens. An adapted and validated quality of life questionnaires were administered to the participants. Results: A total of 422 participants were examined and interviewed. The prevalence of presbyopia was 55.5%. There was no significant association between gender and prevalence of presbyopia. The presbyopia correction coverage in the study population was 38.0% with a strong positive correlation between age and the required near vision spectacle lens power (r = 0.88, p < .001). Another key finding was a significant association between uncorrected presbyopia and reduced quality of life. Conclusion: This study has demonstrated that the burden of presbyopia in the study population is enormous in spite of the fact that it has a cost effective intervention. The key findings in this study underscore the need to scale up presbyopic correction services in the study area.

Objectives: To investigate the quality of life (QOL) of and to characterize patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) in Portugal. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of patients with AD and other eczemas. Skindex-29, Skindex-teen, and the Childhood Atopic Dermatitis Impact Scale (CADIS) were the instruments used to assess QOL in adults, teenagers, and children, respectively. The SF-12 was also used, and disease severity was evaluated using the Patient-Oriented SCORAD (PO-SCORAD) instrument. Associations with QOL were assessed based on the odds ratio (OR). P values <.05 and 95%CIs were considered statistically significant. Results: The study population comprised 162 participants aged 0.5-74 years. We found that 37.3% of AD patients consider their disease disabling and that more than half of the patients feel stigmatized by society. The mean Skindex score for AD was 39.68, and the impact on QOL was severe in 44%. “Symptoms” was the most affected category in adults. AD was moderate to severe in 87% of the sample. One of the factors that most influenced poorer QOL in AD was age: with increasing age, the Skindex is likely to increase (OR, 1.03; 95%CI, 1.00-1.06). “Considering the disease a disability” was also associated (OR, 6.72; 95%CI, 2.56-17.63). QOL worsens with increasingly affected body area (OR, 1.07; 95%CI, 1.03-1.11) and the presence of edema (OR, 2.0; 95%CI, 1.23-3.40). Conclusions: This is the first study to provide data on QOL in patients with AD in Portugal. Our data show an expected negative impact. More awareness-raising activities are needed to increase knowledge, decrease stigmatization, and, consequently, address the factors involved in the QOL of patients with AD.
