Представленное междисциплинарное исследование знакомит с дискриптивным анализом качества жизни, личностным и психологическим своеобразием пациентов с патологией дисфункции височно-нижнечелюстного сустава (ВНЧС). Проведена психодиагностика их психологического статуса, включая психоэмоциональные особенности, личностные и психологические особенности в фокусе связанного со здоровьем качества жизни, а также показатели значимости болезни. Результаты исследования указывают на ухудшение связанного со здоровьем качества жизни у пациентов с ВНЧС, что объясняется повышенной тревожностью, низким уровнем психологической устойчивости, интернальности и рациональности, а также наличием средне-выраженного уровня невротизации и повышенным уровнем рефлексивности. The presented interdisciplinary study introduces a descriptive analysis of the quality of life, personal and psychological uniqueness of patients with the pathology of temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ). Psychodiagnostics of their psychological status was carried out, including psycho-emotional characteristics, personal and psychological characteristics in the focus of health-related quality of life, as well as indicators of the significance of the disease. The results of the study indicate a deterioration in the health-related quality of life in patients with TMJ, which is explained by increased anxiety, a low level of psychological stability, internality and rationality, as well as the presence of a moderate level of neurotization and an increased level of reflexivity.

AbstractDental general anesthesia (DGA) is an effective treatment for very young children or those who have severe dental fear and mental or physical disabilities. However, the long-term impacts of DGA on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and parents’ anxiety in China are still questionable. This study aimed to assess the influence of DGA on OHRQoL in Chinese children and their parents’ psychological status. A total of 204 children and their parents participated in this study. The ECOHIS was applied to evaluate OHRQoL in children. The parents’ anxiety was analyzed using the Chinese version of the Kessler 10 scale. The internal consistency was evaluated with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for statistical analyses. The scores of each section of ECOHIS decreased one month after the procedure except for the self-image and social sections (P < 0.05). The scores of the Kessler 10 scale decreased one month after DGA and kept decreasing six months later (P < 0.05). The parents’ Kessler 10 scores exhibited a moderately positive correlation with the children’s ECOHIS scores (r = 0.480, P < 0.05). After DGA, the OHRQoL of Chinese children and their parents’ mental health continued to improve. And they exhibited positive correlation.

The role of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and psychological variables in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) progression remains poorly quantified.ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate the relationship between disease progression in PAH patients and HRQoL and psychological characteristics.MethodsA 3-year longitudinal cohort was initiated. Patients with stable PAH (groups I-IV ineligible for angioplasty/endarterectomy) were included (N=55). Standard clinical variables including invasive hemodynamic parameters were prospectively recorded. A battery of questionnaires was used to characterise the psychological status of patients upon study initiation, and HRQoL was quantified using the SF-36 questionnaire every 3 months for 24 months, and then again at 36 months. Guideline-defined disease progression and progression free survival were recorded for 36 months.Measurements and Main ResultsPsychological distress was highly prevalent at baseline. The Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS) of HRQoL were poor (PCS=37.13±8.18; MCS=42.42±10.88) but stable over 3 years of follow-up. Among PCS subscales, Physical Functioning (PF) (p=0.012) was identified as independently associated with disease progression (cox-survival model), along with mean pulmonary arterial pressure (p=0.003) and cardiac output (p=0.005). Depression was the unique independent psychological characteristic associated with PF (p=0.0001).ConclusionsPAH patients have poor HRQoL. In addition to already known criteria related to disease severity, the HRQoL Physical Functioning subscale is independently associated with disease progression in PAH. This may be explained by depression.
