Abstract:
The quality of life (QoL) is now recognised as a central indicator of the effectiveness of interventions especially in patients after myocardial infarction (MI). The QoL may be important predict poor outcomes in cardiac patients.The present work aims to increase knowledge of the level of QoL in patients after MI. Moreover, the paper analyses the QoL in relation to sociodemographic factors and the degree of functioning in chronic disease. The study was conducted among 231 patients who were hospitalized due to MI within the period of June 2021 to June 2022 in the Hospital in Racibórz in Poland. The WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Chronic Disease Functioning Scale were used. The analysis showed a statistically significant correlation (coefficient value 0.5 <|r/rho|≤ 0.7) between general functioning in chronic disease and the average QoL (rho = 0.56; p < 0.001)and somatic QoL levels(rho = 0.52; p < 0.001), as well as a moderately strong positive correlation with the QoL level on the psychological domain (rho = 0.50; p < 0.001), social domain(rho = 0.48; p < 0.001) and environmental domain (rho = 0.43; p < 0.001). The results of this study suggested that healthcare workers adopts appropriate policies for the implementation of quality of life, which can reduce the number of repetitive referrals to the hospital and costs imposed on the health system.
摘要:
生活质量(QoL)现在被认为是干预措施有效性的核心指标,尤其是在心肌梗死(MI)后的患者中。QoL可能是预测心脏病患者不良预后的重要因素。本工作旨在增加对MI后患者QoL水平的了解。此外,本文分析了QoL与社会人口统计学因素和慢性病功能程度的关系。该研究是在2021年6月至2022年6月期间在波兰Racibórz医院因MI住院的231名患者中进行的。使用WHO生活质量问卷和慢性病功能量表。分析显示,慢性病的一般功能与平均QoL(rho=0.56;p<0.001)和躯体QoL水平(rho=0.52;p<0.001)之间存在统计学上的显着相关性(系数值0.5<|r/rho|≤0.7),以及与心理领域的QoL水平的中等强度正相关(rho=0.50;p<0.001),社会领域(rho=0.48;p<0.001)和环境领域(rho=0.43;p<0.001)。这项研究的结果表明,医护人员采取适当的政策来实施生活质量,这可以减少重复转诊到医院的次数和强加给卫生系统的成本。
