Neuropati diabetikum (ND) adalah komplikasi utama yang sering muncul pada pasien diabetes mellitus (DM). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai efektivitas vitamin B kombinasi terhadap gejala klinis ND dan QoL (kualitas hidup/quality of life) pada pasien DM. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian one group pre and post test design pada pasien DM dengan ND. Setiap subjek mendapatkan kombinasi vitamin B yang terdiri dari: vitamin B1, vitamin B6, dan vitamin B12 dengan dosis masing-masing secara berurutan: 100 mg, 100 mg, 5000 mcg. Gejala klinis ND diukur dengan menggunakan Total Symptom Score (TSS). Angka QoL diukur dengan menggunakan kuesioner SF-8. Penilaian gejala dilakukan sebanyak 5 kali, dari penilaian awal hingga 3 bulan. Ada 104 subjek pada awal penelitian. Tujuh subjek tidak dapat mengikuti penelitian sampai selesai, sehingga tersisa 97 subjek pada akhir penelitian. Ada perbaikan gejala ND, yang meliputi sensasi nyeri tertusuk, sensasi nyeri terbakar, kesemutan, dan rasa kebas/baal, setelah pemberian kombinasi vitamin B. Perubahan tersebut bermakna secara statistik (p<0,0001). Hasil serupa juga tampak pada QoL. Ada perbaikan QoL dari awal penelitian hingga akhir penelitian. Perbedaan tersebut bermakna secara statistik (physical component summary dengan p<0,0001 dan mental component summary dengan p=0,0001). Kombinasi vitamin B efektif untuk memperbaiki gejala klinis dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup pada pasien ND.

Pendahuluan: Neuropati diabetikum (ND) adalah salah satu bentuk neuropati yang paling umum dijumpai. Terapi yang ada saat ini lebih ditujukan untuk mengatasi gejala. Pemberian kombinasi vitamin B ditujukan bukan hanya untuk mengendalikan gejala, namun memperbaiki fungsi saraf. Penelitian terdahulu tentang vitamin untuk neuropati diabetika masih terbatas dan belum konklusif. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai efektivitas vitamin B kombinasi terhadap gejala klinis neuropati diabetika dan kualitas hidup (QoL) pada pasien diabetes melitus (DM). Metode: Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian observasional pada pasien DM dengan ND. Setiap subjek memperoleh vitamin B kombinasi yang terdiri dari vitamin B1, vitamin B6, dan vitamin B12 dengan dosis masing-masing secara berurutan 100 mg, 100 mg, dan 5 mg. Gejala klinis ND dinilai dengan menggunakan Total Symptom Score (TSS). QoL dinilai dengan menggunakan kuesioner SF-8. Penilaian dilakukan sebanyak 5 kali, yaitu penilaian awal hingga 3 bulan. Hasil: Total terdapat 104 subjek pada awal penelitian. Tujuh subjek tidak dapat mengikuti penelitian sampai selesai, sehingga tersisa 97 subjek pada akhir penelitian. Terdapat perbaikan berbagai gejala ND, yang meliputi sensasi nyeri tertusuk, sensasi nyeri terbakar, kesemutan, dan rasa kebas/baal, setelah pemberian vitamin B kombinasi. Perubahan tersebut bermakna secara statistik (p < 0,0001). Hal serupa juga tampak pada QoL. Terdapat perbaikan QoL dari awal penelitian hingga akhir penelitian. Perbedaan tersebut bermakna secara statistik (physical component summary dengan p < 0,0001 dan mental component summary dengan p = 0,0001). Kesimpulan: Vitamin B kombinasi efektif untuk memperbaiki gejala klinis dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup pada pasien ND.

Abstract Background To date, coping strategies have not been studied in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), despite evidence of their relevance in chronic liver pathology, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity (OB). We therefore analyzed which coping strategies predicted quality of life in diabetic and obese NAFLD patients. Methods Four hundred and ninety-two biopsy-proven NAFLD patients (290 men and 202 women, mean age 54.90±11.74) were evaluated using The Brief COPE, 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) and Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire-Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (CLDQ-NAFLD). A stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was performed on four groups (G1, n = 335, absence of T2DM; G2, n = 157, presence of T2DM; G3, n = 249, absence of OB; and G4, n = 243, presence of OB) to analyze which coping strategies predicted patient quality of life (physical component summary SF-12, mental component summary SF-12, and total CLDQ-NAFLD). Results In both diabetic and obese patients, active coping (T2DM, p = 0.003, β = 0.26; OB, p = 0.000, β = 0.33) and denial (T2DM, p = 0.027, β=-0.19; OB, p = 0.004, β=-0.18) predicted the physical component summary. Denial (T2DM, p = 0.000, β=-0.30; OB, p = 0.001, β=-0.19), positive reframing (T2DM, p = 0.000, β = 0.28; OB, p = 0.000, β = 0.29), self-blame (T2DM, p = 0.000, β=-0.24; OB, p = 0.000, β=-0.26) and self-distraction (T2DM, p = 0.033, β=-0.13; OB, p = 0.023, β=-0.11) predicted the mental component summary. Denial (T2DM, p = 0.000, β=-0.34; OB, p = 0.000, β=-0.31), positive reframing (T2DM, p = 0.000, β = 0.30; OB, p = 0.005, β = 0.15) and self-blame (T2DM, p = 0.000, β=-0.26; OB, p = 0.000, β=-0.28) also predicted the total CLDQ-NAFLD in both groups. Conclusions Active coping and positive reframing predicted better quality of life, while denial, self-blame and self-distraction predicted worse quality of life in diabetic and obese NAFLD patients, suggesting the inclusion of coping strategies in future multidisciplinary NAFLD treatments. Key messages Importance of coping strategies for NAFLD patients: active coping and positive reframing predicted better quality of life, while denial, self-blame and self-distraction predicted worse quality. This study shows the need to design multidisciplinary strategies for managing NAFLD and improving patient quality of life, in which intervention in coping strategies should be a major element.

Abstract Background Older adults are usually less physically active than younger adults. Physical inactivity can lead to frailty, which can increase the possibility of being admitted in a hospital and, being functional limited. To handle frailty Stranded is developed. Within this platform the user will be shipwrecked and has to build a boat to leave an uninhibited island. The user can leave the island by executing physical exercises and playing cognitive games. The primary aim focussed on differences in quality of life and perceived health status after using Stranded (TRL7). The secondary aim focussed on the usability of and user experience with Stranded. This study was conducted within the FRAIL-project (Eurostars-2 10.824). Methods An observational cohort study with a pre-test/post-test design was carried out. The pre-test measurements were performed before the use of Stranded, and the post-test measurements after using it for four weeks. The study population consisted of older adults, 55 years of age or older and each subject signed an informed consent form. Results One hundred and eleven older adults were included in this study (64.9% female and 35.1% male) and 91 participants started using Stranded. In total, 59 subjects dropped out. Two health variables significantly increased (n = 52), the subjects' perceived health state on a visual analogue scale and the subjects' quality of life viewed from the positive health perspective. Stranded's usability scored an average of 61.3 (SD = 21.6). The average scores on the user experience domains were all between 3.3 and 3.9 on a 7-point scale. The subjects did not have a strong negative or positive opinion about these domains. Conclusions The average quality of life increased slightly. It is hard to find an appropriate population to investigate the effects of these innovations, because of not willing to include too frail older adults for whom participating could be intensive. The usability was perceived as acceptable.

Background and objectivesPatient-reported outcomes have gained prominence in the management of chronic noncommunicable diseases. Measurement of health-related quality of life is being increasingly incorporated into medical decision making and health care delivery processes.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsThe Indian Chronic Kidney Disease Study is a prospective cohort of participants with mild to moderate CKD. Baseline health-related quality of life scores, determined by the standardized Kidney Disease Quality of Life 36 item instrument, are presented for the inception cohort (n=2919). Scores are presented on five subscales: mental component summary, physical component summary, burden, effect of kidney disease, and symptom and problems; each is scored 0–100. The associations of socioeconomic and clinical parameters with the five subscale scores and lower quality of life (defined as subscale score <1 SD of the sample mean) were examined. The main socioeconomic factors studied were sex, education, occupation, and income. The key medical factors studied were age, eGFR, diabetes, hypertension, and albuminuria.ResultsThe mean (SD) subscale scores were physical component summary score, 43±9; mental component summary score, 48±10; burden, 61±33; effects, 87±13; and symptoms, 90±20. Among the socioeconomic variables, women, lower education, and lower income were negatively associated with reduced scores across all subscales. For instance, the respective β-coefficients (SD) for association with the physical component summary subscale were −2.6 (−3.4 to −1.8), −1.5 (−2.2 to −0.7), and −1.6 (−2.7 to −0.5). Medical factors had inconsistent or no association with subscale scores. The quality of life scores also displayed regional variations.ConclusionsIn this first of its kind analysis from India, predominantly socioeconomic factors were associated with quality of life scores in patients with CKD.

The quality of life (QOL) needs to be regularly assessed in hemodialysis patients. Hemodialysis patients suffer from average quality of life and survival. A descriptive research design was used, 96 respondents who had received haemodialysis treatment after completion of 1 month duration of hemodialysis in two different teaching hospital at Bharatpur, Chitwan. Data was collected by using standard tool Short Form-36 version2 through face to face structure interview schedule. The objective of study is to find out the quality of life (QOL) of haemodialysis patients. Various test such as one sample t-test, ANOVA test, independent t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whittney U test, Pearson’s correlation was applied. The findings showed that higher proportion of respondents were from 40-59 years (41.0%) and male (62.2%). The mean±SD was 57.45±16.25, 55.72±22.41 and 60.04±11.50 in overall QOL, physical and mental component summary respectively which was slightly above the average. All dimention and sub scale was satistically significant. Younger respondents had statistically significant with overall QOL (p<0.001) and physical component summary (p<0.001). Non diabetics had better in overall QOL (p=0.040) and physical component summary (p=0.033). Level of educational had also positive impact in overall QOL(p=0.010), physical (p=0.006) and mental component summary (p<0.001). Employment status (p=0.020) and sex (p=0.037) was also statistically significant with mental component summary. There was correlation between physical and mental component summary with overall QOL 0.970(p<0.001) and 0.698(p<0.001), and between the physical and mental component summary was 0.502(p<0.001). Below average score were seen in the general health (32.86±25.74) and vitality (41.53±13.98) sub scale. In order to improve quality of life family, physician, nurses and policy makers can use this finding.
