RESUMOObjetivo: avaliar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS) de crianças e adolescentes com fibrose cística. Método: trata-se de um estudo quantitativo e transversal, realizado com crianças e adolescentes. Coletaram-se os dados no ambulatório semanalmente com o instrumento DISABKIDS® na perspectiva dos indivíduos (Self) e dos seus pais ou cuidadores (Proxy). Realizou-se a análise estatística por técnicas descritivas no software SPSS 20, sendo construídas tabelas de frequências. Resultados: constituiu-se a amostra por 11 sujeitos. Registrou-se que a maioria (63,6%) dos acompanhantes era de mães com idade média de 41 anos. Apontaram-se, na dimensão impacto, pela Self, uma média de 66,4 e, na Proxy, de 69,5; entretanto, na dimensão tratamento, pela versão Self, obteve-se uma média de 72,4 e, pela Proxy, de 66,9. Classificou-se a maioria dos pacientes com boa condição clínica (45,4%) de acordo com o escore de Shwachman-Kulczyki. Conclusão: conclui-se que as crianças e adolescentes percebem uma melhor QVRS quanto ao tratamento e uma pior QVRS quanto ao impacto da doença, quando comparados aos seus pais/cuidadores.

Method: this is a quantitative and cross-sectional study with children and adolescents. Data was collected in the outpatient clinic weekly with the DISABKIDS® instrument from the perspective of individuals (Self) and their parents or caregivers (Proxy). Statistical analysis was performed using descriptive techniques in SPSS 20 software, and frequency tables were constructed. Results: the sample was constituted by 11 subjects. It was recorded that the majority (63.6%) of the companions were mothers with a mean age of 41 years. In the Impact dimension, Self showed an average of 66.4 and, in Proxy, 69.5; however, in the treatment dimension, by the Self version, we obtained an average of 72.4 and, by Proxy, 66.9. The majority of patients with good clinical status (45.4%) were classified according to the Shwachman-Kulczyki score. Conclusion: it is concluded that children and adolescents perceive a better HRQoL on treatment and a worse HRQoL on the impact of the disease, when compared to their parents/caregivers.

Diabetes is a common chronic disease that is considered as one of the fastest-growing health problems in the world. Adherence to medications could be an important factor in reducing these complications and improving the quality of life. The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of treatment adherence on health-related quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes. A multicenter cross-sectional study was carried out among 368 diabetes patients. General Medication Adherence Scale was used to assess the adherence level and EuroQol-5D to assess the quality of life. The results show that 19%, 21%, and 23% of patients had maintained low medication adherence due to patient’s intentional or unintentional behavior due to additional diseases or pills burden and due to financial constraints, respectively. Overall, 43% (n=162) participants had maintained high medication adherence, and 37% (n=138) had maintained low medication adherence to antidiabetic drugs. Nearly one-third (31%) of patients with high overall adherence had perfect health state in comparison with 4% among patients with low adherence. Further, the lower proportion (21%) of patients with high overall adherence had perfect health state in comparison with that among patients with low adherence (34%). In addition to the overall adherence, the association was statistically significant for the domains related to non-adherence due to the patient’s intentional or unintentional behavior (p-value 0.001) and non-adherence due to additional diseases or pills burden (p-value 0.001) after taking into account of socio-demographic and clinical characteristics. In conclusion, the findings suggest that the policymakers should establish an intervention to improve adherence to diabetic treatment, and thus improve the quality of life for the type 2 diabetic patients.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the association between quality of life, functional capacity and clinical and nutritional status in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF). Methods: Cross-sectional study, including patients from eight to 18 years old with CF. Quality of life, functional capacity, nutritional status and clinical status were evaluated with the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire; the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and manual gripping force (MGF); the height percentiles for age and body mass index for age and respiratory function test, respectively. Pearson and Spearman correlation tests and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 45 patients, 13.4±0.5 years old, 60% female, 60% colonized by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 57.8% with at least one F508del mutation participated in the study. When assessing the perception of quality of life, the weight domain reached the lowest values, and the digestive domain, the highest. In the pulmonary function test, the forced expiratory volume of the first second was 77.3±3.3% and the 6MWT and MGF presented values within the normal range. There was an association between quality of life and functional capacity, nutritional status and clinical status of CF patients. Conclusions: The study participants had good clinical conditions and satisfactory values of functional capacity and quality of life. The findings reinforce that the assessment of quality of life may be important for clinical practice in the management of treatment.

AbstractSelf-compassion is increasingly recognised as an important and beneficial factor in quality of life and mental health-related research, but research within the adult cystic fibrosis (CF) population is scarce. In a cross-sectional study, 114 (56 female, 58 male) adults with CF completed and returned a series of validated questionnaires that assessed CF-related quality of life, negative emotional states (depression, anxiety and stress), self-compassion, and self-criticism. Quality of life and self-compassion were positively correlated, and each in turn were inversely correlated with negative emotional states and self-criticism. Negative emotional states correlated positively to self-criticism. Self-compassion and/or self-criticism moderated ten relationships between various sub-domains of quality of life and negative emotions. Psychological interventions that increase self-compassion may be beneficial for enhancing mental health and quality of life for adults with CF.
