Abstract:
Att mäta patienters HRQoL (Health Related Quality of Life) är en viktig utvecklingslinje inom vård och vårdforskning. Medicinsk resultatmätning bör kompletteras med nya dimensioner för att kunna utvärdera patientens samlade nytta av behandling och vårdåtgärder. Mätningar är särskilt viktiga när det gäller kroniska sjukdomstillstånd. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka erfarenheterna av SF 36 (Short Form (36) Health Survey) på enheter som deltog i Skåneprojektet. Metoden var en enkätundersökning med kvalitativ ansats. 18 enkäter skickades ut till de nio enheter som deltog. I vår undersökning framkom att uppfattningarna varierade om instrumentets nytta, från mycket användbart till ingen nytta alls. Flera svar visade att sjuksköterskorna blivit uppmärksammade på hur patienten verkligen upplevde sin situation och hur olika personal och patient bedömer HRQoL. Framgångsfaktor var eldsjälar. Intresse från läkare och patienter påverkade i vilken utsträckning resultaten användes. Flera kunde se betydelsen av att fråga patienten om HRQoL, däremot fanns det osäkerhet om hur resultaten skulle följas upp och användas och en del upplevde att det tog mycket tid.
Measuring patients' HRQoL (Health Related Quality of Life) is an important line of development in the health care and research. Medical outcome measurements should be supplemented by new dimensions to evaluate the patient's overall benefit of treatment and care measures. Measurements are particularly important in chronic disease states. The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of the SF 36 (Short Form (36) Health Survey) on the units that participated in the Skåne project. The method was a survey with a qualitative approach. 18 questionnaires were sent to the nine units that participated. Our study revealed that perceptions varied on the instrument's utility, from very useful for nothing at all. Several responses showed that nurses have been made aware of how the patient actually experienced their situation and how different staff and patient assess HRQoL. Success factor was enthusiasts. Interest from doctors and patients affect the extent to which the results were used. Many could see the importance of the issue of patient HRQoL, however, there was uncertainty about how the results would be monitored and used, and some felt that it took much time.

Resumo: A endometriose é reconhecida como uma doença que afeta a vida das mulheres por causar dor e infertilidade. Poucos estudos, entretanto, avaliaram a qualidade de vida das mulheres com endometriose, todos restritos a países considerados desenvolvidos. Este é um estudo descritivo de corte transversal que teve como objetivo principal avaliar a qualidade de vida de mulheres com endometriose, utilizando-se o questionário genérico SF-36. Um total de 60 mulheres com diagnóstico cirúrgico de endometriose foram entrevistadas no Ambulatório de Endometriose do Centro de Atenção Integral à Saúde da Mulher da Universidade Estadual de Campinas durante o primeiro semestre de 2001, e 57 foram aceitas. De modo geral, foram encontrados baixos índices de qualidade de vida. Utilizando-se do teste não paramétrico Mann-Whitney, não se observou relação entre a qualidade de vida destas mulheres e a intensidade da dor, uso ou não de medicação, presença ou não de parceiros. Mulheres com estádios mais avançados da doença apresentaram melhores escores no componente "Aspectos Emocionais" e observou-se resultado significativamente superior no componente "Saúde Mental" naquelas que praticavam exercícios regularmente. Os resultados do questionário genérico de avaliação de qualidade de vida SF-36 em mulheres com endometriose mostraram a má qualidade de vida desta população
Abstract: Endometriosis is recognized as a disease associated with an impairment of women's quality of life. However, few studies have specifically evaluated the life quality among women with endometriosis. All of them from developed countries. This is a descriptive cross sectional study evaluating the life quality in women with endometriosis. The generic questionnaire SF-36 has been used to collect data. A total of 60 women with surgical diagnostic of endometriosis were interviewed at the endometriosis outpatient clinic ¿ CAISM/UNICAMP during the first semester of 2001 and 57 were accepted. In general, the authors found low quality of life results among the interviewed women. No correlation was found between life quality and pain intensity, use of medication, and having a partner. Women with moderate/severe endometriosis presented better scores on the emotional aspects component of the questionnaire. Among those who exercised regularly, better scores on mental health were observed. The results of the generic questionnaire SF-36 showed a poor quality of life in women with endometriosis

Resumo: INTRODUÇÃO: As leucemias são os tipos mais comuns de câncer em crianças e adolescentes e correspondem a 25% - 35% de todos os casos de câncer na faixa etária pediátrica. De acordo com o Registro de Câncer de Base Populacional dos Estados Unidos (SEER)2, desde 1970, tem ocorrido aumento das taxas de cura e sobrevida, sendo que aproximadamente 80% das crianças são curadas3. Apesar do elevado índice de cura da LLA, os sobreviventes podem desenvolver problemas relacionados à saúde ou efeitos tardios decorrentes do tratamento. Diversos estudos demonstraram que, neste grupo, os sobreviventes podem apresentar comprometimentos psicossociais relacionados à saúde mental, relacionamentos interpessoais, escolaridade, inserção profissional e qualidade de vida (QV)4,5,6,7,33,34. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar e correlacionar a percepção da QV de adultos jovens sobreviventes de LLA com aspectos psicossociais e clínicos, em relação ao sexo, nível de escolaridade, renda familiar mensal, vida conjugal, religião, atendimento psicológico, idade ao início do tratamento e atual, tempo desde o término do tratamento, modalidade do tratamento utilizado, índice de massa corporal (IMC) atual, estatura atual e efeitos tardios. MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional, analítico, do tipo corte transversal, realizado de maio a novembro de 2011, com 71 adultos jovens sobreviventes de LLA, com idade mínima de 18 anos, fora de terapia há no mínimo 3 anos, em seguimento na Clínica Após o Término da Terapia (CATT), no Centro Infantil Boldrini, avaliados através do questionário genérico de QV Short-Form Health Survey SF-36. RESULTADOS: Os sobreviventes do sexo feminino apresentaram escores inferiores em capacidade funcional, dor, vitalidade (p < 0,001), aspectos sociais (p = 0,013) e saúde mental (p = 0,001). Sobreviventes com filhos registraram escores menores em capacidade funcional (p = 0,043), dor (p = 0,022) e vitalidade (p = 0,025). Sobreviventes que realizaram atendimento psicológico durante o tratamento, demonstraram resultados inferiores em aspectos sociais (p = 0,049). Os adultos jovens que afirmaram realizar atendimento psicológico atual na cidade de origem apresentaram comprometimento em vitalidade (p = 0,047), aspectos emocionais (p = 0,008) e saúde mental (p = 0,047). Associações entre menor nível de escolaridade paterna e QV dos sobreviventes foram identificadas em capacidade funcional (p = 0,041), aspectos emocionais (p = 0,043) e saúde mental (p = 0,041). A modalidade do tratamento quimioterapia e radioterapia craniana foi associada com capacidade funcional (p = 0,010), dor (p = 0,006), vitalidade (p = 0,018) e saúde mental (p = 0,031). Sobreviventes com efeitos tardios registraram escores inferiores em aspectos físicos (p = 0,011) e aspectos sociais (p = 0,013). Sobreviventes com IMC alterado apresentaram resultados inferiores em aspectos físicos (p = 0,002) e dor (p = 0,023). Observou-se correlação inversa estatisticamente significativa entre capacidade funcional e dor e maior idade no momento da entrevista (rs = - 0,39, p < 0,01; rs = - 0,30, p = 0,01, respectivamente). Adicionalmente, observou-se correlação inversa estatisticamente significativa entre dor e maior tempo fora de terapia (rs = - 0,27, p = 0,01). Observou-se correlação direta estatisticamente significativa entre aspectos físicos e maior valor de renda familiar mensal (rs = 0,26, p = 0,02). CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados do presente estudo sugerem que os sobreviventes de LLA demonstram comprometimentos na QV, relacionados à saúde física e mental. Com base nos dados obtidos neste estudo, as variáveis associadas a escores inferiores no questionário SF-36 foram: sexo feminino, menor nível de escolaridade paterna, menor valor de renda familiar mensal, realizar atendimento psicológico, maior idade na entrevista, maior tempo desde o término do tratamento, modalidade do tratamento utilizado quimioterapia e radioterapia craniana, IMC alterado e presença de efeitos tardios
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Leukemias are the most frequently childhood cancer and correspond 25% - 35% of all cases of cancer at the pediatric ages1,2. According to Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)3, since 1970, the cure and survival rates has increased. Currently and approximately 80% of them are cured4. Despite the high cure rate of leukemia, the survivors may develop health related problems or late effects from the treatment. Researches have shown that in this group, survivors may experience psychosocial impairment related to mental health, interpersonal relationships, education, employability and quality of life (QoL)5,6,7,8,33,34. PURPOSE: To evaluate and correlate the perception of QoL in adult survivors of ALL with psychosocial and clinical trials, in relation to sex, education level, family income, marital life, religion, psychosocial treatment, age at diagnosis and at interview, time off therapy, treatment modality, current body mass index (BMI), current height and late effects. METHODS: Observational, analytical and transversal study, with 71 ALL young adult survivors, for 7 months, aged at least 18 years, off therapy for at least 3 years. The study group consisted of ALL survivors in follow-up at the Off Therapy Clinics (CATT) at the Centro Infantil Boldrini, using the questionnaire Short-Form Health Survey SF-36. RESULTS: Female survivors had lower scores in physical functioning, pain, vitality (p < 0,001), social functioning (p = 0,013) and mental health (p = 0,001). Survivors with children reported lower scores in physical functioning (p = 0,043) and vitality (p = 0,025). Young adults who underwent in psychological care during treatment, showed lower results in social functioning (p = 0,049). Survivors who reported receiving psychological care in the city of origin, showed an impairment in vitality (p = 0,047), role function-emotional (p = 0,008) and mental health (p = 0,047). Associations between lower level of paternal education and QoL of the survivors were identified in physical functioning (p = 0,041), role function-emotional (p = 0,043) and mental health (p = 0,041). Treatment with chemotherapy and cranial radiotherapy was associated with physical functioning (p = 0,010), pain (p = 0,006), vitality (p = 0,018) and mental health (p = 0,031). Survivors with late effects reported lower scores in physical functioning (p = 0,011) and social functioning (p = 0,013). Survivors with BMI modified had lower scores in physical functioning (p = 0,002) and pain (p = 0,023). There was statistically significant inverse correlation between physical functioning and pain and current older age (rs= - 0,39, p < 0,01; rs = - 0,30, p = 0,01, respectively). Additionally, we observed statistically significant inverse correlation between pain and longer time off therapy (rs = - 0,27, p = 0,01). There was a statistically significant direct correlation between role function-physical and higher value of family income (rs = 0,26, p = 0,02). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that survivors of ALL showed impairments in QoL related to physical and mental health. Based on data obtained in this study, the variables associated with lower scores on the SF-36 were: female gender, lower level of paternal education, lower family income, psychological care, older age at interview, longer time since off therapy, treatment with chemotherapy and cranial radiotherapy, BMI changes and late effects

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Primärt Sjögrens syndrom (pSS) är en reumatisk sjukdom karaktäriserad av ögon- och muntorrhet samt påverkan på olika organ. En överväldigande trötthet är vanligt. En orsak till tröttheten kan vara ett behandlingsbart tillstånd såsom nedstämdhet. Tröttheten kan leda till nedsatt livskvalitet, arbetsförmåga och påverka relationer med familj och vänner.Syfte: Att kartlägga hur vanligt det är med trötthet i en grupp av patienter med pSS samt om tröttheten har något samband med nedstämdhet eller nedsatt livskvalitet.Metod: Sextiotvå patienter deltog i studien. Patienterna fick fylla i fyra instrument/enkäter angående trötthet, nedstämdhet och livskvalitet (VAS trötthet, ESSPRI, HADS, SF-36). Deskriptiv och jämförande statistik användes i analyserna.Resultat: Totalt 72,6 % av patienterna skattade en hög grad av trötthet och utmattning mätt med VAS. Vi fann en signifikant korrelation mellan tröttheten och nedstämdheten (r = 0,51, p =0,00002). Det fanns även en god korrelation mellan tröttheten och nedsatt livskvalitet.Slutsats: I denna studie visas att trötthet är vanligt förekommande bland patienter med pSS och att tröttheten är korrelerad med nedstämdhet och försämrad livskvalitet.
Background: Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome (pSS) is a rheumatic disease characterized by dry eyes and dry mouth and different organs affected. An overwhelming tiredness, fatigue, is common. One cause of fatigue might be a treatable condition such as depression. Fatigue can lead to decreased quality of life, impaired work ability and affect relationships with family and friends.Objective: To identify the prevalence of fatigue in a group of patients with pSS and if there is any relation between fatigue and depression or impaired quality of life.Method: Sixty-two patients participated in the study. Patients completed four instruments/questionnaires regarding fatigue, depression and quality of life (VAS fatigue, ESSPRI, HADS, SF-36). Descriptive and comparative statistics were used in the analyses.Results: Overall 72.6 % of patients scored a high degree of fatigue as measured by VAS. We found a significant correlation between fatigue and depression (r = 0, 51, p=0.00002). There was a good correlation between fatigue and reduced quality of life.Conclusion: This study shows that fatigue is common among patients with pSS and that fatigue is correlated with depression and a lower quality of life.

Resumo: Tendo em vista que atualmente o termo qualidade de vida tem ganhado maior importância no contexto científico, a proposta deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade de vida em pacientes mulheres com asma brônquica que estão sendo tratadas no ambulatório de asma do Hospital das Clinicas da UNICAMP comparando o questionário Short-Form Health Survey ¿ 36 (SF36) com o Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ) e com índices espirométricos que indicam o funcionamento pulmonar. Para tal, 23 pacientes do sexo feminino que tiveram a condição asmática confirmada através de métodos médicos e fisioterapêuticos foram convidadas a participar deste estudo assinando o termo de consentimento emitido pelo parecer do Comitê de Ética da UNICAMP. Os resultados obtidos no SF36 mostram comprometimento nas condições respiratórias indicando a necessidade de intervenção médica e fisioterapêutica. A análise realizada no CRQ indicou limitação na função pulmonar indicadas pela limitação na capacidade fisica, dor, estado de saúde, vitalidade, aspecto social, padrão emocional e saúde mental. Estes parâmetros sugerem alterações indicando que o SF36 reflete o padrão do CRQ. No contexto do estudo os valores espirométricos foram menores que o predito para pacientes asmáticos sugerindo o perfil indicado no SF36 e no CRQ. Este estudo sugere que a sintomatologia que caracteriza a asma está representada nos questionários e que estes podem ser usados como estratégia e ferramenta no diagnóstico da asma.

Abstract: The term quality of life has gained increasing importance in the scientific context. The aim of this study was too evaluate the quality of life in patients with asthma that are treated on asthma ambulatory Clinical Hospital of UNICAMP and compare the evaluation with Medical Outcome Study MOS Short-Form Health Survey questionnaire Short-Form Health Survey ¿ 36 (SF36), Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ) and spirometric test of pulmonary (lung) function. For this, 23 female patients that are confirmed to be asthmatic by medical and physiotherapeutic methods are invited to participate for this study and subscribe all terms of UNICAMP ethical human committee. The SF 36 results show the bad respiratory conditions in patients indicating that need medical/physiotherapeutic intervention. By the way, the CRQ analysis indicate a limitation in pulmonary function represented by small indices of functional capacity, physical limitation, pain, health state, vitality, social aspects, emotional profile and mental health. These parameters suggest that alteration indicated in SF 36 reflect the CRQ profile. In context of the study, the spirometric value are smaller that predict values for asthmatic patients, and suggest that this profile are indicated in SF36 and CRQ. This study suggest that the symptomatology that characterizes the asthma are represented in this questionnaire that could be used like strategy in asthma diagnostic too.

Abstract:
Nas últimas décadas, as doenças crônicas têm desempenhado um importante papel na morbimortalidade da população mundial atingindo não só a população idosa, mas também jovens em idade produtiva. Entre as doenças cardiovasculares, a hipertensão arterial (HA) é considerada uma das principais causas de doença do adulto em todo o mundo industrializado e na maioria dos países em fase de desenvolvimento, principalmente, nos grandes centros urbanos. A alta prevalência da doença tem se tornado um grande problema de saúde pública afetando milhares de pessoas e, conseqüentemente, a Qualidade de Vida dessa população. O presente estudo é do tipo transversal com objetivo geral de descrever a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde dos pacientes hipertensos de uma Unidade de Saúde de um município do estado de Minas Gerais, no ano de 2005, segundo o Instrumento genérico de avaliação de QVRS, SF-36. O estudo foi realizado em uma Unidade de Saúde de um município de Minas Gerais - Brasil. A coleta de dados foi realizada junto a pacientes hipertensos assistidos na Unidade no período entre março e maio de 2005. Considerando os critérios de exclusão, 256 pacientes hipertensos foram selecionados para participarem deste estudo. Os resultados relacionados às variáveis sócio-demográficas e aos escores padronizados do instrumento SF-36, segundo seus domínios foram apresentados e discutidos segundo os quartis, valores máximos e mínimos e graficamente representados por meio de Boxplots. Adicionalmente, valores médios e respectivos desvios-padrão foram apresentados. A consistência interna do instrumento foi verificada por meio dos valores de alfa de Cronbach e correlações produto-momento de Pearson entre os domínios da escala. O programa estatístico SPSS, versão 10.1 para Windows foi utilizado. Entre os pacientes estudados, idade média igual a 61 anos, com desvio-padrão de 13 anos, sendo 72,3% do sexo feminino. A raça predominante foi a negra, 37,9% (incluindo as raças mulata e mestiça). A maioria (65,3%) possuía 1º grau incompleto e, em relação às profissões/ocupações, 50% era do lar, seguida de aposentados 30,5%. Em relação ao estado civil, a maioria, 58,2 possuía um companheiro(a). Em relação às propriedades de medida do SF-36, foi obtido um valor para alfa de Cronbach igual a 0,92, mostrando que houve consistência nas respostas dos indivíduos às questões. Tal resultado pôde ser verificado, também, para cada um dos domínios do SF-36, com valor mínimo para o alfa de Cronbach igual a 0,68 e máximo igual a 0,95. Todos os domínios mostraram correlações positivas significativas entre eles, sendo o valor mais baixo igual a 0,154, entre Estado Geral de Saúde e Aspectos Emocionais e, o mais alto igual a 0,659 entre Vitalidade e Saúde Mental. O grupo estudado apresentou um elevado perfil de saúde, sendo os menores valores medianos igual a 65 para Vitalidade e 70 para Capacidade Funcional e o maior igual a 100 para Aspectos Físicos, Aspectos Emocionais e Aspectos Sociais. No presente estudo, foi possível aplicar o instrumento SF-36 em um número significativo de hipertensos, sendo que este se mostrou válido para avaliar, de forma multidimensional, o Perfil de Saúde do grupo considerado, e, apesar da hipertensão arterial ser considerada uma doença crônica com caráter progressivo-degenerativo, não foram encontrados, neste estudo, resultados que mostrassem comprometimento dos sujeitos em relação a seu Perfil de Saúde. Ao contrário, os 256 pacientes entrevistados mostraram, em sua maioria, satisfação, tranqüilidade e segurança com a assistência encontrada na Unidade de Saúde considerada.
In recent decades, chronic diseases have played an important role in global morbidity and mortality rates, affecting not only the aged population, but also young people in the productive age group. Among cardiovascular diseases, arterial hypertension (AH) is considered to be one of the main causes of disease in adults from the entire industrialized world and most developing countries, mainly in large urban centers. The high prevalence of this disease has turned into a great public health problem, attacking thousands of people and, consequently, their Quality of Life. This cross-sectional study aims to verify the measurement properties of the generic health-related Quality of Life assessment questionnaire SF-36 for hypertensive patients and to describe their health profile. The study was carried out at a Health Unit in Minas Gerais-Brazil. Data were collected from hypertensive patients attended at this unit between March and May 2005. In view of exclusion criteria, we selected 256 hypertensive patients to participate in this study. The results related to the social-demographic variables and to the standardized scores of the instrument SF-36, their second domains were presented and discussed according to quartiles, maximum and minimum values and graphically represented through Boxplots. In addition, we presented mean values and the respective standard deviations. The consistence interns of the instrument was verified by means of Cronbachs alpha and Pearson correlations between the dominions of the scale, using the statistical program SPSS, version 10.1 for Windows. 72.3% of the study participants were women, with an average age of 61 years and standarddeviation of 13 years. The predominant race it was the black 37.9% (including the races mulatto and mestizo). Most participants (65.3%) had not finished basic education. With respect to profession/occupation, most participants (50%) worked at home, while 30,5% were retired. In terms of civil status, 58,2% were married. We obtained a Cronbachs alpha of 0.92 for the measurement properties of SF-36, which revealed consistency between the individuals answers to the questions. The same was true for each of the SF-36 domains, with a minimum Cronbachs alpha score of 0.68 and a maximum of 0.95. We found significant positive correlations between all domains, with 0.154, as the lowest between General Health Condition and Emotional Aspects, and 0.659 as the highest score, between Vitality and Mental Health. The group under study presented an elevated health profile, with 70 as the lowest median score equal for 65 for Vitality and 70 for Functional Capacity and 100 as the highest for Physical, Emotional and Social Aspects. This study allowed us to apply the SF-36 instrument to a significant group of hypertensive patients. The instrument revealed its validity with a view to the multidimensional evaluation of the study participants health profile. Although arterial hypertension is considered to be a progressive and degenerative chronic disease, we did not find any results to show that the subjects health profile was at risk. On the opposite, most of the 256 patients we interviewed displayed satisfaction, tranquility and security about the care they received at the Health Unit we studied.

Abstract:
During the 1980’s the non-profit organisation RAND Corporation conducted the two-year Medical Outcomes Study with the goal of creating a comprehensive medical questionnaire. The resulting 116-item questionnaire measures health related quality of life (HRQoL) topics such as physical, mental and general health. The questionnaire is available as a free resource on their web page. SF-36, which contains 36 of these questions, is distributed for a fee by the US company Quality Metric Inc. The company has translated the questionnaire into several languages, including Swedish, and has also taken license for the translations. Registercentrum sydost has made a new Swedish translation of the same questions as in the SF-36. This survey is called RAND-36 and is license free. Because Quality Metric Inc has taken license for its Swedish translation, the surveys are similar but not identical. This study aims to compare the aforementioned HRQoL-instruments to determine whether it is possible to replace the licensed questionnaire SF-36 with the license free RAND-36. The distribution of items with response options according ordinal scale were compared with Mann-Whitney U-test. The test yielded a significant difference for eight items in the measure PF(physical functioning), MH(mental health), VT (vitality) and GH (general health perceptions). The distribution of items with response options according dichotomous scale were compared with X2-test. The test yielded significant difference for an item in the measure RE (emotional role functioning). The reliability of questionnaire was compared with ordinal alpha. In the selection the reliability between MH and VT is equivalent. The biggest difference between the surveys is the measure RP (physical role functioning) where the RAND-36 meets the requirement that the measure can be used for reliable conclusions on the individual level, which is a condition that SF-36 can’t met. The probability of entering an answer, given the respondent's ability, was compared with Rasch analysis. Wald's test gave DIF between most items within the measures PF, MH, VT and GH.

Resumo: Avaliação da qualidade de Vida dos Pacientes Antes e Após Realização de Transplante Penetrante de Córnea. OBJETIVO Verificar o impacto do transplante de córnea sobre a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos submetidos à cirurgia no serviço de Oftalmologia HC-UNICAMP no período de outubro de 2005 a outubro de 2006. METODO: O estudo foi aprovado pelo comitê de ética e pesquisa da FCM-UNICAMP. Foram inclusos indivíduos com indicação de transplante de córnea do ambulatório de Doenças Externas da Oftalmologia do HC UNICAMP no período de outubro de 2005 a outubro de 2006 e que aceitaram em participar do estudo. Foram incluídos 32 indivíduos. Os critérios de exclusão foram transplante tectônico, indivíduos com déficit visual importante causado por outra afecção ocular além das alterações corneanas. Realizou-se exame oftalmológico assim como aspectos demográficos e história ocular dos pacientes incluídos no estudo. Métodos objetivos como claridade do transplante e melhor acuidade visual corrigida e método subjetivo, a qualidade de vida, através do questionário SF-36 adaptado. RESULTADOS: Houve diferença significativa de satisfação entre gêneros com maior escore no sexo masculino (p = 0.0319). No método objetivo como a acuidade visual corrigida teve aumento significativo do olho transplantado (p<0.0001); A AV média antes do transplante era de 0,98 ± 0,1 logMAR e após 0,48 ± 0.38 logMAR. Quanto o escore de qualidade de vida (SF-36), método subjetivo, após o transplante houve um aumento significativo (p<0.0001). O escore do SF-36 antes do transplante foi de 49,11% ± 19,28 (média ± DP) e após o transplante de 71, 98% ± 24,28 (média ± DP) com uma melhora de 22, 87% (p<0.0001).Os indivíduos mais satisfeitos foram aqueles que tiveram a pontuação mais alta no SF-36 (r = 0.60; P = 0.0002). A satisfação parece não estar correlacionada com a melhora da AVCC no olho transplantado (r = 0.3186; P = 0.0755). Ocorreu uma fraca correlação entre a melhora da AVCC no olho transplantado e a melhora do SF-36 (r=0.28382; p=0.1154). Não houve diferença significativa do SF-36 nos indivíduos com visão baixa nos dois olhos quando comparado com os pacientes com visão boa em um dos olhos (p=0.2998 ) CONCLUSÃO: O transplante penetrante de córnea proporcionou melhora na pontuação dos métodos subjetivo e objetivos. Os indivíduos com maior satisfação foram melhor avaliados através do método subjetivo (SF-36). Não houve diferença significativa na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos com pior acuidade visual no olho contralateral quando comparado com os indivíduos com boa visão no olho contralateral, mas análise de um maior número de indivíduos é necessária
Abstract: Purpose: To assess and measures the patient satisfaction before and after penetrating keratoplasty. Methods: The study of approved by the ethics committee of FCM-UNICAMP. Data were collected from 32 patients who underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PK) between October 2005 and October 2006. Demographic, ocular history, objective treatment outcome measures such as clarity of the graft and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of both eyes were collected prospectively. In addition to assessment of quality of life were obtained by an interview before the PK and after at least one year of postoperative. Results: The average age of subjects was 42 ± 22 (mean ± SD) years and 68.75 % were women. On average, men were most satisfied. BCVA was 0,98 ± 0,1 logMAR before and 0,48 ± 0.38 logMAR after PK showing a significant improvement on BCVA (P < 0.0001). SF-36 score was 49.11% ± 19.28% before and 71.98% ± 24.28% after PK showing a significant improvement after the PK (p< 0.0001). The most satisfied patients where those who had a better score on SF-36 (r = 0.60; p = 0.0002). Satisfaction seems not to be correlated to improvement in BCVA at the transplanted eye (r = 0.3186; p = 0.0755). There was weak correlation between improvement in BCVA on the transplanted eye and improvement of SF-36 score (r = 0.28382; p=0.1154). There was no significant improvement in SF-36 in patients with worse BCVA in the other eye (p = 0.2998). Conclusions: Penetrating keratoplasty has a positive effect on objective and subjective outcome measures. Patient satisfaction is better predicted by subjective outcomes. There is no significant difference in quality of life in patients with worse BCVA in the contralateral eye when compared to eye with good BCVA in the contralateral eye, but analysis of a larger number of patients is necessary to confirm that

RESUMEN: En los últimos años, la población en general, ha pasado de la preocupación por vivir más años a vivir mejor durante el mayor tiempo posible. Surgen nuevos estudios que analizan la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud de la población. Uno de los factores que más influye en la calidad de vida y por consiguiente, uno de los más estudiados, es la actividad física. Objetivo: Analizar los cambias en las dimensiones de la calidad de vida en un grupo de mujeres activas de mediana edad, que participan en un programa de aquaerobic de corta duración. Así mismo, analizar los cambias, después de un mes de la conclusión dei programa. Material y métodos: Participaron, 17 mujeres con una edad media de 53,69 años ± 9,1. Todas ellas eran físicamente activas. El programa tuvo una duración de 6 semanas, mas un periodo de desentrenamiento de 4 semanas. Se pasó un cuestionario de calidad de vida, el SF-36, entres ocasiones, uno ai comienzo dei programa, otro a la finalización dei mismo y otro después dei período de desentreno. El programa de aquaerobic se desarrollaba durante cinco días a la semana, con sesiones de 60 minutos. Resultados: Se observa un mantenimiento en el componente físico y una mejora con tendencia a la significación en el componente mental (vitalidad, función social, rol emocional y salud mental) ai finalizar el programa de aquaerobic. Los valores fmales se mantienen después dei periodo de desentrenamiento. Conclusiones: La práctica de actividad física grupal a través del aquaerobic, en un corto período de tiempo, produce mejoras en las dimensiones de la calidad de vida, sobre todo, en el componente mental, en mujeres de mediana edad con elevados índices de calidad de vida.

Resumo: A base do crânio é uma região que pode ser afetada por vários tipos localizados de neoplasias. Os tumores nesta região podem ser benignos ou malignos e se localizar nas fossas anterior, média ou posterior do crânio. Embora sejam relativamente raros, são lesões potencialmente graves, em virtude das características anatômicas complexas da região e do risco inerente de um procedimento cirúrgico. A qualidade de vida nesses pacientes pode ser prejudicada não só pelo comprometimento neurológico, mas também por problemas psicossociais, como diminuição da autoconfiança e auto-estima, modificação nas atividades cotidianas, dependência, estigma e discriminação, dificuldade de interação social e desemprego. A escala SF-36 é um dos instrumentos mais utilizados para mensurar a qualidade de vida e foi aplicada em 38 indivíduos submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico de lesões expansivas benignas da base do crânio, entre seis meses e um ano após o procedimento operatório. Deste modo, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade de vida em pacientes operados de tumor da base do crânio através da escala de qualidade de vida SF-36. Os 38 pacientes foram operados no Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Os resultados revelaram que a idade média dos pacientes era de 49,7 anos, variando de 20 a 74 anos, prevalecendo o sexo feminino com 65,8% da amostra (25 mulheres). Para a amostra total, todos os domínios apresentaram pontuação acima de 50. Em seis dos oito domínios, bem como componentes físico e mental, as mulheres pontuaram melhor do que os homens, porém o único domínio que tendeu a significância foi LAF. Quando comparada idade, observamos que no grupo total pacientes com idade superior a 50 anos pontuaram melhor. Quando comparado sexo com idade, as mulheres até 50 anos tiveram melhor pontuação; em contrapartida, homens com idade superior a 50 anos pontuaram melhor do que as mulheres. Embora haja diferenças, estas não foram estatisticamente significantes. Desta forma, concluímos que não foi possível comprovar melhora significativa social, física, psicológica e funcional quando os grupos foram comparados.
Abstract: The skull base is a region that may be affected by different types of localized tumors. Tumors in this region can be benign or malignant and are located in the anterior fossa, middle or posterior fossa. Although relatively rare, they are potentially harmful, because of the complex anatomic features of these regions and the inherent risk of a surgical procedure. The quality of life of patients can be hampered not only by neurological impairment, but also by psychosocial problems such as decreased self-confidence and self-esteem, change in daily activities, dependency, stigma and discrimination, difficulty in social interaction and unemployment. The SF-36 scale is one of the most widely used scale to measure quality of life and it was applied in 38 individuals who underwent surgery to treat benign skull base tumors, between six months and one year after the surgical procedure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life in patients undergoing tumor of the skull base resection by applying SF-36. The 38 patients were operated on the Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas. The results revealed that the average age of patients was 49.7 years, ranging from 20 to 74 year-old. Female prevalence was 65.8% of the sample (25 women). All patients showed a total score above 50. In six of the eight domains as well as physical and mental components, women scored better than men, but the only area that tended to significance was LAF. When compared to age, we observed that overall patients aged over 50 years scored better. When compared with age and sex, women until 50 years had a better score. On the other hand, men aged over 50 years scored better than women. Although there are slight differences, these were not statistically significant. We concluded that no significant improvement occurred in social, physical, psychological and functional outcome when age and sex were compared.

INTRODUCTION: Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) is one of the main cardiovascular risk factors, with high prevalence in almost every country. Studies have shown the negative effect of SAH on health-related quality of life (HRQL). OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the quality of life of hypertensive patients compared to the general population. METHODS: The study included patients of both sexes over 18 years of age. The EG, consisting of medicated patients enrolled in a multi-disciplinary SAH treatment service, responded to two HRQL evaluation instruments: one, the SF-36, was generic, and the other, MINICHAI-Brasil, was specificSAH treatment service, responded to two HRQL evaluation instruments: one, the SF-36, was generic, and the other, MINICHAI-Brasil, was specific. In the CG, consisting of normotensive individuals from the community, only the SF-36 was administered. For statistical analysis, the chi-square, Komogorov-Smirnov, Mann Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests and multivariate analysis were used. SPSS was used to analyze the data and p values <0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS: The groups were homogeneous with regard to age, sex, ethnic group, education level and marital status. Normotensive individuals had higher HRQL scores than hypertensives on the SF-36 in all domains. There was no significant difference between the study and control groups in regard to the emotional aspect EA (p=0.36). On the MICHAL-Brasil, SAH significantly affected HRQL in the mental state (MS) domain and least affected younger individuals with more schooling and higher income living with a partner. CONCLUSION: Although SAH is considered to be a silent and asymptomatic disease, it affects HRQL and is apparently associated with psycho-social factors and conditions.
INTRODUÇÃO: A Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS) é um dos principais fatores de risco cardiovascular e tem alta prevalência em quase todos os países. Estudos têm evidenciado o efeito negativo da HAS na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS). OBJETIVO: Avaliar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de pacientes hipertensos comparando com a população geral. MÉTODOS: O estudo avaliou pacientes de ambos os sexos e maiores de dezoito anos. O Grupo Estudo (GE) constituído de pacientes medicados e matriculados em serviço multiprofissional para o tratamento da HAS, aplicou-se neste um instrumento genérico, SF-36, e outro específico, MINICHAl-Brasil. No Grupo Controle (GC), constituído de indivíduos normotensos da comunidade, aplicou-se somente o SF-36. Para a análise estatística, utilizaram-se os testes qui-quadrado, de Kolmogorov-Smirnov, de Mann Whitney, de Kruskal-Wallis e a análise multivariada. Analisaram-se os dados por meio do programa SPSS e consideraram-se os valores de p<0,05 significantes. RESULTADOS: Os grupos eram homogêneos em relação à idade, ao sexo, à etnia, à escolaridade e ao estado civil. Observou-se que os indivíduos normotensos apresentaram melhores escores de QVRS quando foram comparados com os hipertensos em todos os domínios do SF-36. No Aspecto Emocional (AE) (p=0,36) do SF-36 não houve diferença significativa entre os GE e GC. Em relação ao MINICHAL-Brasil, observou-se que a HAS interferiu na QVRS de forma significativa no domínio Estado Mental (EM) e foi favorável aos indivíduos mais jovens com maior escolaridade, maior renda e que viviam com companheiro. CONCLUSÃO: Apesar de a HAS ser considerada doença silenciosa e assintomática, interfere na QVRS e pode estar associada aos fatores e às condições psicossociais.

Abstract:
The short form SF-36 survey is a widely used survey of patient health related quality of life. It yields eight subscale scores of functional health and well-being that are summarized by two physical and mental component summary scores. However, recent studies have reported inconsistent results between the eight subscales and the two component summary measures when the scores are from a sick population. They claim that this problem is due to the method used to compute the SF-36 component summary scores, which is based on principal component analysis with orthogonal rotation.In this thesis, we explore various methods in order to identify a method that is more accurate in obtaining the SF-36 physical and mental component component summary scores (PCS and MCS), with a focus on diseased patient subpopulations. We first explore traditional data analysis methods such as principal component analysis (PCA) and factor analysis using maximum likelihoodestimation and apply orthogonal and oblique rotations with both methods to data from the Canadian Scleroderma Research Group registry. We compare these common approaches to a recently developed data analysis method from signal processing and neural network research, independent component analysis (ICA). We found that oblique rotation is the only method that reduces the meanmental component scores to best match the mental subscale scores. In order to try to better elucidate the differences between the orthogonal and oblique rotation, we studied the performance of PCA with the two approaches for recovering the true physical and mental component summary scores in a simulated diseased population where we knew the truth. We explored the methods in situations where the true scores were independent and when they were also correlated. We found that ICA and PCA with orthogonal rotation performed very similarly when the data were generated to be independent, but differently (with ICA performing worse) when the data were generated to be correlated. PCA with oblique rotation tended to perform worse than both methods when the data were independent, but better when the data were correlated. We also discuss the connection between ICA and PCA with orthogonal rotation, which lends strength to the use of the varimax rotation for the SF-36.Finally, we applied ICA to the scleroderma data and found relatively low correlation between ICA and unrotated PCA in estimating the PCS and MCS scores and very high correlation between ICA and PCA with varimax rotation. PCA with oblique rotation also had a relatively high correlation with ICA. Hence, we concluded that ICA could be seen as a compromise solution between the two methods.
La version abrégée du questionnaire SF-36 est largement utilisée pour valider la qualité de vie reliée à la santé. Ce questionnaire fournit huit scores s'attardant à la capacité fonctionnelle et au bien-être, lesquels sont regroupés en cotes sommaires attribuées aux composantes physiques et mentales. Cependant, des études récentes ont rapporté des résultats contradictoires entre les huit sous-échelles et les deux cotes sommaires lorsque les scores sont obtenus auprès de sujets malades. Cette discordance serait due à la méthode utilisée pour calculer les cotes sommaires du SF-36 qui est fondée sur l'analyse en composantes principales avec rotation orthogonale.Dans cette thèse, nous explorons diverses méthodes dans le but d'identifier une méthode plus précise pour calculer les cotes sommaires du SF-36 attribuées aux composantes physiques et mentales (CCP et CCM), en mettant l'accent sur des sous-populations de sujets malades. Nous évaluerons d'abord des méthodes traditionnelles d'analyse de données, telles que l'analyse en composantes principales (ACP) et l'analyse factorielle, en utilisant l'étude de l'estimation du maximum de vraisemblance et en appliquant les rotations orthogonale et oblique aux deux méthodes sur les données du registre du Groupe de recherche canadien sur la sclérodermie. Nous comparons ces approches courantes à une méthode d'analyse de données développée récemment à partir de travaux de recherche sur le réseau neuronal et le traitement du signal, l'analyse en composantes indépendantes (ACI).Nous avons découvert que la rotation oblique est la seule méthode qui réduit les cotes attribuées aux composantes mentales moyennes afin de mieux les corréler aux scores de la sous-échelle des symptômes mentaux. Dans le but de mieux comprendre les différences entre la rotation orthogonale et la rotation oblique, nous avons étudié le rendement de l'ACP avec deux approches pour déterminer les véritables cotes sommaires attribuées aux composantes physiques et mentales dans une population simulée de sujets malades pour laquelle les données étaient connues. Nous avons exploré les méthodes dans des situations où les scores véritables étaient indépendants et lorsqu'ils étaient corrélés. Nous avons conclu que le rendement de l'ACI et de l'ACP associées à la rotation orthogonale était très similaire lorsque les données étaient indépendantes, mais que le rendement différait lorsque les données étaient corrélées (ACI étant moins performante). L'ACP associée à la rotation oblique a tendance à être moins performante que les deux méthodes lorsque les données étaient indépendantes, mais elle est plus performante lorsque les données étaient corrélées. Nous discutons également du lien entre l'ACI et l'ACP avec la rotation orthogonale, ce qui appuie l'emploi de la rotation varimax dans le questionnaire SF 36.Enfin, nous avons appliqué l'ACI aux données sur la sclérodermie et nous avons mis en évidence une corrélation relativement faible entre l'ACI et l'ACP sans rotation dans l'estimation des scores CCP et CCM, et une corrélation très élevée entre l'ACI et l'ACP avec rotation varimax. L'ACP avec rotation oblique présentait également une corrélation relativement élevée avec l'ACI. Par conséquent, nous en avons conclu que l'ACI pourrait servir de solution de compromis entre ces deux méthodes.

Abstract:
The purpose was to compare and comment on use of the SF-36 and MOS-HIV instruments in studies of persons with HIV disease. Three medical information databases were searched to identify examples of HIV studies that included the MOS-HIV or SF-36. Thirty-nine and 14 published articles were identified for illustration in comparing the use of the MOS-HIV and SF-36 in HIV disease, respectively. Support for the reliability and construct validity of the MOS-HIV and SF-36 was found. Ceiling and floor effects were reported for both the MOS-HIV and SF-36
however, ceiling effects were more common for the MOS-HIV, in part due to fewer items in the physical, social, and role functioning domains. The MOS-HIV measures three domains hypothesized to be associated with the health deterioration of HIV disease not measured by the SF-36
however, these domains may not assess aspects of HIV disease that typify the majority of the persons with HIV disease today. National norms for the U.S. adult population (and other nations) are available for the SF-36. In addition, the SF-36 has been used in a wide variety of patient populations, enabling comparisons of HIV-infected persons with persons with other health conditions. No national norms for the MOS-HIV are available. We conclude that there is currently insufficient evidence in the literature to recommend the use of the MOS-HIV over the SF-36 in HIV-infected persons. Although the SF-36 is not targeted at HIV, it may be preferable to use the SF-36 over the MOS-HIV due to fewer ceiling effects, availability of national norms, and the vast amount of data for other populations in the U.S. and around the world. Head-to-head comparisons demonstrating the unique value of the MOS-HIV over the SF-36 are clearly needed. More importantly, additional work needs to be directed at comparing the MOS-HIV and other putatively HIV-targeted instruments to one another to help demarcate aspects of HRQOL that are truly generic versus specific to HIV disease. Using both a generic and targeted HRQOL measure is a good general strategy, but this has not been a typical practice in studies of HIV because the MOS-HIV is so similar in content to the SF-36.

The Quality of Life (QOL) has become understood as subjective quality of life or quality of life perceived by the people, influenced mostly by the World Health Organization (WHO) states that health is not restricted to the absence of disease, but encompasses the individual perception of a complete physical, mental and social well-being. Thus, the concept of QOL has been described as something dynamic, multidimensional and how it is perceived is different for everyone. Thus, the intestinal parasitism influence on QoL, as it constitutes a serious public health problem and contributes to economic, social, and health, especially in developing countries, one of the main factors debilitating the population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with intestinal parasites treated at a Joao Pessoa Public Service. This is an observational cross-sectional study and descriptive analysis, conducted with a sample of 135 patients treated at the Clinical Laboratory of the University Hospital Lauro Wanderley, in the city of João Pessoa - PB. The statistical method of logistic regression was used to explain what categorical variables become relevant for intestinal parasites and to support decision making. The sample showed 94 (69.6%) women and 41 (30.4%) men, 73 (54%) brown / brown over the age of 54 50 (37%). The most common species of parasite was Ascaris lumbricoides (28.75%), followed by Giardia lamblia (25.0%), Endolimax nana (18.75%) and Entamoeba coli (12.5%). The analysis of variables related to the SF-36 instrument, which assesses QoL, it was observed that the domains general health and physical aspects had lower averages, being the most affected in the opinion of patients, with an average of 46.77 and 48 , 76, respectively. In the selection of the first model the dependent variable is parasitic and non-parasitized, the variables that showed statistical significance (α = 10%) were type of animal, marital status, constipation, functional capacity domain, domain pain, mental health domain, vomiting and abdominal cramping. In the second model, only positive patients, the response variable was the presence or absence of pathogenic parasite. The significant variables were: decreased work / activities, comorbidity, abdominal colic, moderate activities, physical aspect domain, vomiting, sanitation and animal type. The logistic regression model developed showed that the selected models can be used as a reference for assessing the quality of life of patients and enteroparasitados identify the domains of the SF-36 questionnaire that affect the quality of life of these individuals. It was identified some risk factors for parasitic infections that can be prevented or controlled through planning actions aimed at the prevention and control of intestinal parasites.
A Qualidade de Vida (QV) passou a ser entendida como qualidade de vida subjetiva ou qualidade de vida percebida pelas pessoas, influenciada em sua maioria pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), que declara que a saúde não se restringe à ausência de doença, mas engloba a percepção individual de um completo bem-estar físico, mental e social. Com isso, o conceito de QV tem sido descrito como algo dinâmico, multidimensional e a forma como é percebida é diferente para todas as pessoas. Assim, o parasitismo intestinal influencia na QV, pois constitui-se num grave problema de saúde pública e contribui para problemas econômicos, sociais e médicos, sobretudo nos países em desenvolvimento, sendo um dos principais fatores debilitantes da população. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a qualidade de vida de pacientes com enteroparasitoses atendidos em um Serviço Público de João Pessoa. Trata-se de um estudo observacional com delineamento transversal e análise descritiva, realizado com uma amostra de 135 pacientes atendidos no Laboratório de Análises Clínicas do Hospital Universitário Lauro Wanderley, no município de João Pessoa - PB. Foi utilizado o modelo estatístico de regressão logística para explicar quais variáveis categóricas tornam-se relevantes para a ocorrência de enteroparasitoses e subsidiar a tomada de decisão. A amostra apresentou 94 (69,6%) mulheres e 41 (30,4%) homens, 73 (54%) pardos/morenos com idade acima de 54 anos 50 (37%). A espécie de parasito mais frequente foi a Ascaris lumbricoides (28,75%), seguido de Giardia lamblia (25,0%), Endolimax nana (18,75%) e Entamoeba coli (12,5%). Nas análises das variáveis relacionadas ao instrumento SF-36, que avalia a QV, observou-se que os domínios estado geral de saúde e aspectos físicos apresentaram menores médias, sendo os mais afetados na opinião dos pacientes, com médias de 46,77 e 48,76, respectivamente. Foram ajustados dois modelos de regressão logística. Na seleção do primeiro modelo a variável resposta era parasitado e não-parasitado, as variáveis que apresentaram significância estatística (α= 10%) foram: tipo de animal, estado civil, constipação, domínio capacidade funcional, domínio dor, domínio saúde mental, vômitos e cólica abdominal. No segundo modelo, apenas com os pacientes positivos, a variável resposta era presença ou ausência de parasito patogênico. As variáveis com significância foram: diminuição do trabalho/atividades, comorbidade, cólica abdominal, atividades moderadas, domínio aspecto físico, vômitos, saneamento básico e tipo de animal. O modelo de regressão logística desenvolvido mostrou que os modelos selecionados podem ser utilizados como referência para avaliar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes enteroparasitados e identificar os domínios do questionário SF-36 que afetam a qualidade de vida desses indivíduos. Identificou-se alguns fatores de risco para a enteroparasitose, que podem ser prevenidos ou controlados por meio do planejamento de ações voltadas para a prevenção e controle das parasitoses intestinais.

Resumo: As medidas do estado de saúde autorreferido e de bem-estar são importantes complementos das medidas diretas de morbidade, de mortalidade e de expectativa de vida, e contribuem para ampliar o conhecimento e a efetividade de intervenções voltadas para melhorar a saúde e a satisfação com a vida da população. Este estudo tem como objetivos verificar a associação de várias dimensões do estado de saúde autorreferido com comportamentos de saúde e com a duração do sono; e verificar os fatores associados ao bem-estar, particularmente o sentimento de felicidade, em idosos. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, de base populacional, que utilizou dados dos inquéritos: Inquérito Multicêntrico de Saúde no Estado de São Paulo (ISA-SP) e Inquérito de Saúde no Município de Campinas (ISACAMP), realizados, em 2001/2002 e 2008/2009, respectivamente. O estudo incluiu 1958 idosos residentes em 4 regiões do estado de São Paulo e 1431 idosos da cidade de Campinas. As variáveis dependentes foram os dois componentes (físico e mental) e as 8 escalas do The Medical Outcomes study 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36), versões 1 e 2 (capacidade funcional, aspectos físicos, dor, saúde geral, vitalidade, aspectos emocionais, aspectos sociais e saúde mental - em relação ao humor), e o sentimento de felicidade nas últimas 4 semanas. As variáveis independentes foram os comportamentos relacionados à saúde: atividade física no lazer, ingestão de bebida alcoólica, tabagismo e padrão do tempo de sono; variáveis demográficas e socioeconômicas e variáveis indicadoras de morbidade e condições de saúde. Os resultados revelaram que a atividade física esteve positivamente associada com as oito escalas medidas pelo SF-36. Os idosos que ingeriram bebida alcoólica pelo menos 1 vez por semana apresentaram melhores condições de saúde do que os que não ingeriram. Comparados com os que nunca fumaram, os fumantes apresentaram o pior estado de saúde em escalas do componente mental. Estes resultados apontam para a importância da adoção e manutenção de comportamentos saudáveis para uma boa saúde e qualidade de vida, também na população idosa, justificando as políticas de saúde do Ministério da Saúde, Brasil (2011), focadas nas estratégias de mudanças de comportamentos relacionados à saúde. Segundo o tempo de sono, o padrão de sono curto (6 horas ou menos) esteve associado às piores condições de saúde mental em ambos os sexos, comparando com o padrão de sono médio (7 a 8 horas)...

Abstract: Measures of self-reported health status and well-being among elderly individuals constitute important complements to direct measures of illness, mortality and life expectancy. Such measures contribute toward broadening knowledge and increasing the effectiveness of interventions directed at improving health and satisfaction with life. The aims of the present study were to determine whether different dimensions of self-reported health status are associated with health behavior and sleep duration and determine factors associated with well-being, especially the feeling of happiness, among elderly individuals. A population-based, cross-sectional study was carried out using data from the Multi-Center Health Inquiry in the State of São Paulo and the Health Inquiry in the City of Campinas (state of São Paulo, Brazil), respectively carried out in 2001/2002 and 2008/2009. The present study involved 1958 elderly individuals residing in four regions of the state of São Paulo and 1431 elderly individuals residing in the city of Campinas. The dependent variables were the Physical (PCS) and Mental (MCS) Component Summary Scales and the eight subscales of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) versions 1 and 2 (physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, role emotional, social functioning and mental health - in relation to mood) and the feeling of happiness in the previous four weeks. The independent variables were health-related behavior (physical activity during leisure, alcohol intake, smoking habits and sleep pattern) as well as demographic and socioeconomic variables and health conditions. The results revealed that physical exercise was positively associated with the eight SF-36 subscales. Individuals who ingested alcoholic beverages at least once a week exhibited better health conditions than those who did no ingest alcohol. Compared to those who had never smoked, smokers had a worse health status on the mental component health summary. These results underscore the importance of adopting and maintaining healthy behavior for satisfactory health and quality of life among the elderly population, thereby justifying health policies of the Brazilian Ministry of Health (2011) focused on strategies directed at changes in health-related behavior. Regarding sleep, the short sleep pattern (6 or fewer hours) was associated with worse mental health status in both genders in comparison to the medium sleep pattern (7 to 8 hours)...Note: The complete abstract is available with the full electronic document

Abstract:
Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease. Quality of life refers to a person's perception of well-being and life satisfaction. Chronic liver failure can have significant negative impact on a patient's cognitive abilities and can cause physical debilitation. Thus, it is not surprising that cirrhotic patients often have severe impairment in their quality of life (QOL). From the perspective of the health care system, patient's health-related quality of life (HRQL) is the more relevant construct. Success of liver transplantation (OLT) is often measured by length of survival, as opposed to patient perceptions of personal health.
The primary objective of this study is to identify which of the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), EuroQuol (EQ-5D) VAS, and General Health Questionnaire-30 (GHQ-30) is the most responsive for detecting HRQL change for patients pre- and post-liver transplantation. The secondary objective is to compare the relative efficiency of the HRQL measures to traditional liver biochemistry parameters.

Resumo: O processo de envelhecimento está acontecendo de maneira rápida, principalmente nos países em desenvolvimento. Esse processo gera vários desafios para a saúde pública, entre eles, melhorar a qualidade dos anos de vida conquistados (WHO, 2005). Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS) de idosos e avaliar a influência de fatores demográficos e socioeconômicos e o impacto de doenças crônicas sobre as várias dimensões da qualidade de vida. A pesquisa utilizou dados do Inquérito Multicêntrico de Saúde no Estado de São Paulo, ISA-SP e o instrumento usado para medir a QVRS foi o Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). É um estudo transversal de base populacional, com amostra de conglomerados, estratificada e em múltiplos estágios. Foram analisados 1958 idosos com 60 anos ou mais, residentes em 4 áreas do Estado de São Paulo. A QVRS dos idosos estudados apresentou-se em melhores condições nos domínios: aspectos emocionais (86,1), sociais (85,9) e físicos (81,2) e as piores condições foram encontradas em vitalidade (64,4), saúde mental (69,9) e estado geral de saúde (70,1). Segundo determinantes demográficos e socioeconômicos, a QVRS revelou-se em piores condições nos idosos do sexo feminino; naqueles com idade mais avançada; com menores rendas; com menor nível de escolaridade e nos idosos da religião evangélica, comparados aos da religião católica, principalmente nos domínios capacidade funcional e aspectos físicos. Segundo doenças crônicas, encontrou-se que as condições que exercem maior influência na QVRS dos idosos são: acidente vascular cerebral, depressão/ansiedade e osteoporose, principalmente nos domínios dor e estado geral de saúde. Apresentar maior número de doenças crônicas também é fator de pior situação de qualidade de vida, principalmente a presença de três ou mais, em que os domínios de capacidade funcional, dor, estado geral de saúde e vitalidade foram os mais prejudicados. Os resultados sugerem que programas relacionados à saúde do idoso considerem a abordagem multidimensonal da qualidade de vida e priorizem as atenções voltadas para os subgrupos mais vulneráveis
Abstract: A longer aging process is occurring rapidly, especially in developing countries. This process generates a number of challenges to public health, including improving the quality of the additional years of life. The aim of the present study was to analyze health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among elderly individuals and assess the influence of demographic and socioeconomic factors as well as the impact of chronic illness on different quality of life dimensions. The research used data from the Multi-Centric Health Inquiry in the state of Sao Paulo (Brazil) and the instrument used to measure HRQOL was the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). A population-based cross-sectional study was carried out in multiple stages on a stratified sample determined by clusters. 1958 elderly individuals were analyzed. Subjects were aged 60 years or more and residents in four areas of the state of Sao Paulo. HRQOL of these elderly individuals scored better in the following SF-36 domains: role-emotional (86.1), social functioning (85.9) and role-physical (81.2), whereas the worst scores were found in vitality (64.4), mental health (69.9) and general health (70.1). According to demographic and socioeconomic determinants, HRQOL was worse among women, individuals at more advanced ages; those with lower incomes; those with low levels of schooling; and those who practiced evangelist religions when compared to those who followed the catholic religion, especially in the physical functioning and role-physical domains. Regarding chronic illness, the following conditions were found to exercise a greater influence on HRQOL among the elderly: vascular cerebral accident (stroke), depression/anxiety and osteoporosis, especially in the bodily pain and general health domains. Having a higher number of chronic illnesses was also a factor for a worse quality of life, especially the presence of three illnesses or more; the physical functioning, bodily pain, general health and vitality domains were the most affected. The results suggest that programs addressing elderly health should consider a multi-dimensional approach to quality of life and prioritize actions directed at more vulnerable subgroups

Resumo: OBJETIVO: avaliar a qualidade de vida (QV) e fatores associados em mulheres com osteoporose pós-menopausa correlacionado QUALEFFO 41 com o SF-36. MÉTODOS: realizou-se um estudo de corte transversal com 220 mulheres pósmenopausa (idade entre 55-80 anos), sendo 110 com osteoporose e 110 sem osteoporose, pareadas por idade (± 3anos). Todas foram entrevistas para avaliação da QV realizada através de dois questionários: Quality of Life Questionary of European Foudation for Osteoporosis 41 (QUALEFFO 41) e o Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36). Para análise dos dados foi considerado um nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05). RESULTADOS: as características clínicas entre os grupos foram similares, com diferença estatisticamente significativa apenas em relação ao Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC), raça, escolaridade, idade da menopausa e uso de Terapia Hormonal (TH) (p<0.001). Mulheres com osteoporose apresentaram pior QV tanto no QUALEFFO 41 quanto SF-36, para todos os domínios estudados sendo os dados ajustados para IMC, raça, escolaridade e uso de TH (p<0.001). Houve correlação significativa entre todos os domínios do QUALEFFO 41 com seus correspondentes do SF-36 (p<0.001) Os únicos fatores relacionados à pior QV foram IMC>25 e sedentarismo, já o trabalho remunerado esteve associado à melhor QV (IC=95%). CONCLUSÃO: Mulheres com osteoporose apresentam comprometimento da qualidade de vida particularmente nos aspectos físicos e psico-sociais. Os fatores associados à QV foram a obesidade, o sedentarismo e o trabalho remunerado. Palavras-chave: osteoporose, qualidade de vida, fratura vertebral, QUALEFFO 41, SF-36
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate quality of life (QoL) and associated factors in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, correlating QUALEFFO 41 with SF-36. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 220 postmenopausal women (ages ranging from 55-80 years). Of the total number, 110 women had osteoporosis and 110 women did not have osteoporosis and these women were paired by age (± 3 years). Two questionnaires were administered to all subjects for evaluation of QoL: the Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis 41 (QUALEFFO 41) and the Short-Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36). For data analysis, a significance level of 5% was set (p<0.05). RESULTS: Clinical characteristics between the groups were similar, with statistically significant differences only in Body Mass Index (BMI), race, school education, age at menopause and use of Hormone Therapy (HT) (p<0.001). Women with osteoporosis had a worse QoL both in the QUALEFFO 41 and in the SF-36, in all domains studied. Data was adjusted for BMI, race, school education and use of HT (p<0.001). There was a significant correlation between all domains in the QUALEFFO 41 questionnaire and their corresponding domains in the SF-36 (p<0.001). The only factors related to worse QoL were BMI>25 and sedentary lifestyle. In contrast, paid work was associated with a better QoL (CI=95%). CONCLUSION: Women with osteoporosis had an impaired quality of life, especially relating to the physical, psychological and social aspects. The factors associated with QoL were obesity, sedentary lifestyle and paid work. Keywords: osteoporosis, quality of life, vertebral fracture, QUALEFFO 41, SF- 36

Abstract:
O tratamento cirúrgico das neoplasias espinais intradurais primárias está indicado para conseguir ressecação completa, diminuir morbidade e aumentar a sobrevida livre de doença, em busca da cura. Há dúvidas sobre as consequências do tratamento cirúrgico influenciando a qualidade de vida. Entretanto, até o momento, não foram encontrados dados disponíveis na literatura especializada sobre a qualidade de vida dos pacientes que foram submetidos à cirurgia. Os objetivos foram avaliar a qualidade de vida e testar as propriedades psicométricas dos instrumentos utilizados, verificando a consistência interna e a confiabilidade. O estudo foi realizado no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, no período de 2009 a 2011, com aplicação do questionário genérico The Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), e das escalas específicas de McCormick e de Aminoff-Logue para a avaliação da qualidade de vida sob o ponto de vista funcional. Todos os pacientes incluídos foram avaliados uma única vez e encontravam-se no período de, no mínimo, seis meses após a data da cirurgia. O banco de dados resultante foi analisado no Departamento de Medicina Preventiva da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. A série de casos constou de 148 pacientes, dos quais 48 foram excluídos por não completarem o protocolo. Dentre os 100 casos estudados, 55 eram do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 42,3 anos e tempo de acompanhamento pós-operatório de 20 meses. A pontuação global da qualidade de vida pelo SF-36 foi de 50,5, com resultado geral do componente físico de 46,8. A consistência interna foi demonstrada segundo a validade de construto e de critério, confirmando a hipótese da relação existente entre as pontuações do SF-36 e a escala de McCormick (p = 0,003), as escalas de Aminoff-Logue componente de marcha (p = 0,025), vesical (p = 0,013) e intestinal (p = 0,004). A confiabilidade foi demonstrada em todos os oito domínios do SF-36, alcançando em cada um o alpha Cronbach, satisfazendo o critério de Nunnally > 0,85. Estes resultados sugerem associação consistente entre a qualidade de vida e as funções medulares nesta série de casos, caracterizando melhor a percepção de saúde dos pacientes submetidos ao tratamento cirúrgico. O avanço do conhecimento aplicado à prática neurocirúrgica focada no paciente aponta para a necessidade de avaliação longitudinal da qualidade de vida para auxílio no planejamento terapêutico destas doenças. A qualidade de vida pode ser avaliada pelo questionário SF36, que se correlaciona bem com as escalas específicas de McCormick e Aminoff-Logue
The surgical treatment of intradural primary spinal tumors is indicated to obtain total ressection, decrease morbidity rate and increase survival rate, aiming at the cure. There are doubts about the consequences of surgical treatment influencing the quality of life. However, until now there have been no available data in specialized literature on the quality of life of patients who have undergone this surgery. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the patient´s quality of life and to test the psychometric properties of the instruments used, verifying consistency and reliability. The study was carried out at the Clinics Hospital of the University of São Paulo Medical School, between 2009 and 2011, by means of The Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) generic questionnaire and the McCormick and the Aminoff-Logue specific scales to assess the patient´s quality of life from the functional perspective. All patients included in the study were assessed only once, at least six months postoperatively. The resulting data were analyzed at the Department of Preventive Medicine of the University of São Paulo Medical School. The series of cases comprised 148 patients; 48 patients were excluded because they did not complete the protocol. The study was finally conducted with 100 patients. Fifty-five patients were women, the mean age was 42,3 years and the mean postoperative follow-up period was 20 months. The quality of life total score on the SF-36 was 50,5, and the Physical Component Summary (PCS) score was 46,8. Based upon construct validity and criterion, the internal consistency was demonstrated, confirming the hypothesized relationship between the scores of the SF-36 and the McCormick scale (p = 0.003), the Aminoff-Logue gait subscale (p = 0.025), the Aminoff-Logue micturition subscale (p = 0.013), and the AminoffLogue defecation subscale (p = 0.004). Reliability was demonstrated for all eight SF-36 domain scales and the Physical Component Summary and the Mental Component Summary of the SF-36, where in each the Cronbach alpha satisfied the Nunnally criterion of > 0,85. These results suggest a consistent relationship between the quality of life and the spinal cord functions in this series of cases, better characterizing the evaluation of the health of the patients who underwent surgical treatment. The advancement of knowledge applied to neurosurgery practice with a patient-focused approach shows the necessity of a longitudinal evaluation of the quality of life to help tailor a treatment plan for these diseases. The quality of life can be analyzed by the SF-36 questionnaire, which is well correlated with the McCormick and the Aminoff-Logue specific scales

O Medical Outcomes Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) e uminstrumento de avaliacao generica de Saúde, originalmente criado na lingua inglesa, de facil administracao e compreensao. E constituido por 36 questoes, que abrangem oito componentes, capacidade funcional, aspectos fisicos, dor, estado geral da Saúde, vitalidade, aspectos sociais, aspectos emocionais e Saúde mental avaliadas por 35 questoes e mais uma questao comparativa entre a Saúde atual e a de um ano atras. O autor desenvolveu uma versao para a lingua portuguesa apos processo de traducao e adaptacao cultural e suas propriedades de medida, ou seja, reprodutibilidade e validade foram avaliadas em pacientes brasileiros portadores de artrite reumatoide. O questionario foi administrado por entrevistas, devido ao baixo nivel socio-economico e de analfabetismo dos nossos pacientes. Apenas duas questoes foram identificadas e modificadas na fase de adaptacao cultural. O tempo medio de administracao do questionario foi de 7 minutos. A avaliacao da reprodutibilidade intra e inter-observador do instrumento demonstrada pelo coeficiente de correlacao de Pearson foi satisfatoria e estatisticamente significante para os 8 componentes, variando de 0,4426 a 0,8468 e de 0,5542 a 0,8101, respectivamente. A avaliacao da validade construtiva tambem foi satisfatoria e estatisticamente significante, quando os componentes capacidade funcional, aspectos fisicos, dor e estado geral da Saúde, foram correlacionados aos parametros clinicos como numero de articulacoes dolorosas e edemaciadas, avaliacao de atividade da doenca pelo paciente e pelo medico e avaliacao da dor. Encontramos tambem correlacoes clinicamente importantes e estatisticamente significantes (p<0,01) para dimensoes similares entre o SF-36 e os questionarios HAQ, AIMS-2 e NHP. A versao para a lingua portuguesa do SF-36 e um parametro reprodutivel e valido para ser utilizado na avaliacao da qualidade de vida de pacientes brasileiros portadores de artrite reumatoide.
The Medical Outcomes Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) is a generic quality of life instrument, developed in the English language, it is easy to understand and administer. It contains 36 items that are scored as 8 multi-item scales: physical functioning, role-physical, pain, general health perception, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, mental health, plus a one-item measure of selfevaluated change in health status in the past year. A portuguese version was developed and cross-culturally adapt and its measurement properties of reliability and validity were evaluated in Brazilian patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The instrument was administered by interview because of the high degree of illiteracy and low socio-economic status of our patients. Only two questions were modified in the cross-cultural adaptation phase. It took an average of 7 minutes to complete the questionnaire. The evaluation of the SF-36 was cnically satisfactory and statistically significant for the 8 scales with Pearson’s correlation coefficient ranging from 0.4426 to 0.8468 for the test-retest reliability and from 0.5542 to 0.8101 for the interobserver reliability. The evaluation of the construct validity was also satisfactory and statistically significant when the components physical functioning, role-physical, pain and general health status were correlated with clinical parameters such as number of painful and swollen joints, pain and global disease assessment by patient and physician. For similar dimension scales, the correlation coefficients between SF-36 and HAQ, AIMS-2 and NHP were clinically important and statistically significant (p<0,01). The Brazilian-portuguese version of the SF-36 is a reliable and valid intrument to be used in the evaluation of health status of Brazilian patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract:
Nach Operationen am Schultergelenk ist die Rehabilitation von entscheidender Bedeutung, um das operative Ergebnis zu sichern und die Schulterfunktion wiederherzustellen. Die dafür erforderliche funktionelle Kraft, Mobilität, Stabilität und Schmerzfreiheit soll mittels adäquater Maßnahmen im Therapieprozess entwickelt werden. Einen Untersuchungsschwerpunkt dieser Arbeit stellte die Erhebung von indikationsspezifischen isokinetischen Referenzwerten dar, die als schädigungsfrei erreichbare Steigerungsraten der Kraft innerhalb eines definierten Rehabilitationsprogrammes anzusehen sind. Dafür wurden jeweils 30 Patienten mit ventraler Schulterstabilisierung, arthroskopisch subakromialer Dekompression und Rekonstruktion der Rotatorenmanschette unter Verwendung des Seilzugisokinetikgerätes „Moflex®“ für die Bewegungen Adduktion, Innen- und Außenrotation untersucht. Zusätzlich galten die tägliche Schmerzquantifizierung, die Erfassung der aktiven Beweglichkeit und die subjektive Einschätzung mittels Fragebögen zum Gesundheitszustand (SF-36-Health-Survey) und zur Schulterfunktion (DASH-Score) zu definierten Zeitpunkten der Rehabilitation als obligate Bestandteile der Untersuchung. Auf der Grundlage der ermittelten Referenzwerte werden Empfehlungen für die praktische Anwendung eines therapeutischen Aufbautrainings mit dem Therapieband und dem Seilzugsystem abgeleitet. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt der Arbeit bildete die Leistungsdiagnostik mit der Überprüfung der körperlichen Leistungsfähigkeit und der kardiopulmonalen Belastung während einer orthopädisch ausgerichteten Rehabilitation. Dafür absolvierten 20 männliche Patienten nach einer Operation am Schultergelenk zu Beginn und zum Abschluss der Rehabilitation einen Spiroergometrietest auf dem Fahrradergometer und eine Spirometrieuntersuchung mit dem „K4b2“ während der Krankengymnastik und der Medizinischen Trainingstherapie. Mit den Resultaten ist erstmalig eine Beurteilung der kardiopulmonalen Belastung von Patienten bei differenten Therapiemaßnahmen möglich. Die Ergebnisse können als Handlungsanleitung für die Belastungsgestaltung im Rahmen der postoperativen Rehabilitation von Schulterpatienten betrachtet werden.

Abstract:
Temos aktualumas Gyvenimo kokybės (GK) analizė yra vertinga siekiant palyginti ir įvertinti tam tikrų su sveikata susijusių būklių įtaką visuomenės gerovės aspektams, tiek vertinant iš paties žmogaus pusės, tiek ir pagal tai, kokios pagalbos jam reikia (Coons SJ. ir kt., 2000). GK tyrimai padeda geriau tai įvertinti. Rašydama šį darbą, noriu paanalizuoti, kaip socialiniai demografiniai veiksniai siejasi su gyvenimo kokybe. Darbo tikslas Įvertinti senelių namuose gyvenančių pagyvenusių ir vyresnių žmonių su sveikata susijusią gyvenimo kokybę. Darbo uždaviniai: 1. Įvertinti privačiuose senelių namuose gyvenančių pagyvenusių ir vyresnių žmonių su sveikata susijusią gyvenimo kokybę lyties ir amžiaus grupių aspektu; 2. Įvertinti valstybiniuose senelių namuose gyvenančių pagyvenusių ir vyresnių žmonių su sveikata susijusią gyvenimo kokybę lyties ir amžiaus grupių aspektu; 3. Palyginti privačiuose ir valstybiniuose senelių namuose gyvenančių pagyvenusių ir vyresnių žmonių su sveikata susijusią gyvenimo kokybę. Tyrimo metodika Protinės būklės trumpo tyrimo klausimynas (ang. Mini Mental State Exam, MMSE). Į tyrimą neįtraukiami asmenys, kuriems MMSE įvertintas sunkus pažinimo sutrikimas. Su sveikata susijusi gyvenimo kokybė vertinama naudojant SF-36 klausimyną (Trumpa sveikatos apklausos forma) (Hirsch, Bartholomae, Volmer, 2000; Ware 2000; Lloyd, Sawyer, Hopkinson, 2001).

Relevance of the Topic The analysis of life quality is valuable seeking to compare and evaluate the influence of particular health states to the aspects of public welfare both assessing out of man‘s position and according to what kind of help he needs (Coons SJ. etc., 2000). The research of life quality helps to assess it better. Writing this work I aim at the analysis of how demographic factors are related to life quality. The aim of the work To assess the life quality as related to health of the elderly and the senior people living in the nursing home. The tasks of the work: 1. To assess the life quality as related to health of the elderly and the senior people living in private nursing home based on their gender and age group; 2. To assess the life quality as related to health of the elderly and the senior people living in public nursing home based on their gender and age group; 3. To compare the life quality as related to health of the elderly and the senior people living in private and public nursing home. The method of the research Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE). The research does not include people, who in MMSE were assessed as having a serious cognition disorder. The life quality related to health is assessed using SF-36 questionnaire (a short survey form concerning health (Hirsch, Bartholomae, Volmer, 2000; Ware 2000; Lloyd, Sawyer, Hopkinson, 2001)). The Results and Conclusions The elderly and the senior people living in private nursing home evaluated the life... [to full text]

Abstract:

It has been claimed that there are considerable differences between pri-vate and non-private patients with regard to the outcome of back surgery.This can be found in the yearly report from the register concerning backsurgery in Sweden. However, the results seem doubtful and the referencescould not be found. Therefore, we analyze the data about nearly 1200patients from the clinic of back surgery in Str¨angn¨as (CSS). It includesthree time periods with somewhat different questionnaires from 1986 to2007 with both private and non-private patients. In the third period,the patients have been evaluated using the SF-36 questionnaire. The re-sults show that most of the differences between private and non-privatepatients are minor and not statistically significant.

Abstract:
Syfte: Studiens syfte var att beskriva och jämföra livskvalitet hos närstående till patienter med kronisk hjärtsvikt (CHF) respektive multipel skleros (MS) samt hur demografiska bakgrundsvariabler är relaterade till livskvalitet i undersökningsgruppen. Detta är en delstudie ur ett större forskningsprojekt.Metod: Frågeformuläret SF-36 användes för att mäta livskvalitet hos närstående till patienter med CHF (n = 28) samt närstående till patienter med MS (n = 19). De närstående valdes ut av patienter.Resultat: Det fanns signifikanta skillnader mellan närstående till patienter med CHF respektive MS gällande fysisk hälsa, där närstående till patienter med MS har skattat högre fysisk hälsa. Närstående till patienter med CHF skattade lägst på Vitalitet och högst på Social funktion och närstående till patienter med MS skattade lägst på Vitalitet och högst på Social funktion och Emotionell rollfunktion. Slutsats: Närstående till patienter med CHF skattade signifikant lägre än närstående till patienter med MS gällande fysisk hälsa. Resultatet av studien indikerar att andra faktorer än sjukdom inverkar på närståendes livskvalitet.

Abstract:
Around 30,000 people in Sweden suffer stroke every year, out of which about 12,000 end up with language difficulties, aphasia. Behind every person with aphasia there are significant others whose lives are also affected. Studies of how aphasia affects the health of these people are few. The overall aim of the present study was to examine how significant others of people with aphasia perceive their life situation, and how their quality of life is affected by the illness of their partner. Spouses of people with aphasia were contacted through aphasia groups and the Swedish Aphasia Association. A total of eleven people participated in the study, which consisted of the health survey SF-36 and semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that men, working people, and people at retirement age are at risk of having a lower health-related quality of life, by living with a person suffering from aphasia. Other factors that seemed to contribute to a lower quality of life were; a more severe aphasia, a big work load at home, less mutual activities as a couple, and a general decrease of communication in everyday life. The conclusion is therefore, that the health-related quality of life is at risk of becoming negatively affected by living with a person who suffers from aphasia.
Varje år insjuknar cirka 30 000 personer i stroke i Sverige och av dem drabbas cirka 12 000 av språkliga svårigheter i form av afasi. Bakom varje person med afasi finns det anhöriga, vars liv också påverkas. Hur afasin påverkar den anhöriges hälsa är inte väl studerat. Det övergripande syftet med föreliggande studie var därmed att undersöka hur anhöriga, till personer med afasi, uppfattar sin egen livssituation, samt hur deras livskvalitet påverkas av den närståendes sjukdom. Partner till personer med afasi kontaktades genom afasigrupper och afasiföreningar. Totalt valde elva personer att deltaga i studien, vilken bestod av hälsoenkäten SF-36 samt en semistrukturerad intervju. Resultaten pekade på att män, yrkesverksamma och personer i pensionsålder riskerar att få en lägre hälsorelaterad livskvalitet av att leva med någon med afasi. Övriga faktorer, som tycktes bidra till en lägre livskvalitet, var en svårare afasi, en hög börda i hemmet, färre gemensamma aktiviteter som par samt en generell försämring av kommunikationen i vardagen. Slutsatsen är därmed att den hälsorelaterade livskvaliteten riskerar att påverkas negativt av att leva med en person som drabbats av afasi.

Abstract:

Syfte med denna enkätstudie var att undersöka hälsorelaterad livskvalitet (HRQOL) tolv månader efter utskrivning från intensivvårdavdelning mellan kvinnor och män och mellan yngre (< 65 år) och äldre (≥65 år). Huvudresultatet visade att det fanns signifikanta skillnader mellan kvinnor och män hur de skattar HRQOL i delskala smärta. Ingen signifikant skillnad fanns mellan yngre och äldre. Även med ett litet antal patienter är skattad HRQOL för hela undersökningsgruppen jämförbar med större studier inom område som mäter HRQOL med SF-36.


The aim of the study was to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) twelve months after discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU) as well as to study if there were differences in HRQOL between younger (<65 years) and older (≥65 years) patients. There were significant differences between women and men in how they estimated HRQOL in the domain pain. No significant differences existed between younger and older patients and the HRQOL overall twelve months after discharge from ICU were consistent with previous HRQOL SF-36 research results even with a small sample of patients.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Hypertoni är en global folksjukdom och den största orsaken till kardiovaskulära sjukdomar och dödlighet. Sjukdomen benämns “the silent killer” eftersom den ofta inte medför några symtom, vilket i sin tur kan innebära att individerna inte upplever sig som sjuka och därför avstår medicinering. Studier visar att många individer med hypertoni lever med nedsatt hälsa och stort lidande. Vid skattning av livskvalitet inom hälso- och sjukvården används begreppet hälsorelaterad livskvalitet (HRQoL) som i denna allmänna litteraturöversikt har valts som teoretisk referensram. Syfte: Att undersöka hälsorelaterad livskvalitet hos individer med hypertoni samt vilka faktorer som påverkar deras hälsorelaterade livskvalitet. Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt med 19 kvantitativa studier. Huvudresultat: Individer med hypertoni hade sämre HRQoL än individer utan hypertoni. Därtill framkom att medvetenhet om sin hypertonidiagnos även bidrog till sämre HRQoL. Kvinnor hade sämre HRQoL än män. Hög ålder var en faktor som påverkar HRQoL till det sämre, liksom samsjuklighet och okontrollerat högt blodtryck. Anställning, högre inkomst och högre utbildningsnivå bidrog till bättre HRQoL. Levnadsvanor som gav positiva effekter på HRQoL var en viss alkoholkonsumtion och fysisk aktivitet. Faktorer som undersöktes och visade sig påverka HRQoL positivt var individens förmåga att hantera sin sjukdom, individens psykologiska motståndskraft, hälsolitteracitet, vårdkontinuitet, att få regelbunden medicinsk undersökning samt följsamhet till farmakologisk behandling. Slutsats: Den allmänna litteraturöversiktens resultat kan vara värdefullt för all hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal, liksom i arbetet som distriktssköterska, för att kunna stötta individer med hypertoni till en bättre hälsorelaterad livskvalitet och anpassa vården utifrån individernas enskilda förutsättningar.
Background: Hypertension is a global public disease and the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and mortality. The disease is often called the “silent killer” because it often does not cause any symptoms, which can mean that individuals do not feel sick and therefore refrain from medication. Studies show that many individuals with hypertension live with impaired health and great suffering. When estimating quality of life in health care, the term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is used, which in this general literature review has been chosen as theoretical framework. Aim: To investigate health-related quality of life in individuals with hypertension and the factors that affect their health-related quality of life. Method: A general literature review with 19 quantitative studies.                                  Main results: Individuals with hypertension had poorer HRQoL than individuals without hypertension, in addition, a study showed that awareness of their hypertension diagnosis also contributed to poorer HRQoL. Women had lower HRQoL than men. Old age impaired HRQoL as well as comorbidity and uncontrolled high blood pressure. Employment, higher income and a higher level of education contributed to better HRQoL. Living habits which had positive effects on HRQoL were a certain alcohol consumption and physical activity. Factors examined that were found to have a positive effect on HRQoL where the individual´s’ ability to manage their illness, psychological resilience, health literacy, continuity of care, regular medical examination and adherence to pharmacological treatment. Conclusion: The results of the general literature review can be valuable for all health care and medical staff, as well as in the work as a district nurse, to be able to support individuals with hypertension to a better health-related quality of life and adapt care based on the individuals' conditions.

This study aims to evaluate the quality of life as well as the relationship of this with the socioeconomic and demographic profile and the length of service of workers motorcycle taxi drivers in the city of Aparecida de Goiânia-GO. For this, we carried out an analytical study of the quantitative cross-sectional with a sample of 133 male motorcycle taxi drivers. To check the profile of these workers, a sociodemographic questionnaire and the socioeconomic questionnaire was applied, Criteria of Economic Classification Brazil (CCEB). To assess quality of life, the WHO Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) were used. Regarding sociodemographic profiles, there was a predominance of workers, married (53.4%), with up to two children (78.9%), aged 18-40 years old (56.4%), primary school education(64 7%), between one and five years of professional practice (57.9%), and belonging to the C economic class (66.2%). Concerning quality of life, WHOQOL-Bref, it was found that the domain "environment" (52.09) and the domain "social relations" (68.23) were the ones with lowest score and the best scores obtained were in "physical" domain (74.89) and "psychological" (70.52). In the SF-36, the domain "pain" (49.59) is the most negative impact on the quality of life of these professionals and the domain "functional capacity" (81.17) was the one who got the best score. Comparing the demographic data and the length of service with the quality of life WHOQOL-Bref, significant differences in the field "environment" (p = 0.029), indicating that the group with the lowest function of time had worse quality of life that the group with greater seniority. In the SF-36, there was a significant difference in the fields "vitality" (p = 0.025) and "mental health" (p = 0.005) relative to the variable "marital status" in which the married participants had better quality of life in these areas. There was also a significant difference on "vitality" (p = 0.029) relative to the variable "age in years", indicating that the age group up to 40 years had worse quality of life compared to the older group. Compared to the variable "schooling" there was significant difference in the field "general health" (p = 0.047) in those with primary education had a poorer quality of life to those with high school. There was a significant difference in the field "vitality" (p = 0.020) compared to the variable "function of time" in which the group with the shortest time had worse quality of life compared to the older group. When comparing the WHOQOL-Bref with socioeconomic data for all economic classes, the highest score was the "physical" domain and the lowest was in the field "environment." In the analysis of the areas of the SF-36 compared to the socioeconomic data, significant differences were found in the domain "pain" (p = 0.005), indicating the participants in classes D and E with worse quality of life compared to the B and C classes. This study has highlighted the need to implement strategies for improving the quality of life of this class of workers.
Este trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar a qualidade de vida, bem como as relações dessa com o perfil socioeconômico e sociodemográfico e o tempo de serviço dos trabalhadores mototaxistas da cidade de Aparecida de Goiânia-GO. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo analítico do tipo transversal quantitativo com uma amostra de 133 mototaxistas do sexo masculino. Para verificar o perfil desses trabalhadores, foi aplicado um questionário sociodemográfico e o questionário socioeconômico, Critério de Classificação Econômica do Brasil (CCEB). Para avaliar a qualidade de vida desses mototaxistas, utilizaram-se dois instrumentos, o Whoqol-Bref e o SF-36. Quanto ao perfil sociodemográfico, verificou-se a predominância de trabalhadores, casados (53,4%), com até dois filhos (78,9%), faixa etária de 18 a 40 anos (56,4%), ensino fundamental (64,7%), entre um a cinco anos de exercício da profissão (57,9%), e pertencentes à classe econômica C (66,2%). Em relação à qualidade de vida, no Whoqol-Bref, o domínio meio ambiente (52,09) e relações sociais (68,23) foram os de menor escore e os melhores foram no domínio físico (74,89) e no psicológico (70,52). No SF-36, o domínio dor (49,59) é o que mais interfere negativamente na qualidade de vida desses profissionais e o domínio capacidade funcional (81,17) foi o que obteve o melhor escore. Na comparação entre os dados sociodemográficos e o tempo de serviço com a qualidade de vida do Whoqol-Bref, houve diferença significativa no domínio meio ambiente (p=0,029), indicando que o grupo com menor tempo de função teve pior qualidade de vida em relação ao grupo com maior tempo de serviço. No SF-36, houve uma diferença significativa nos domínios vitalidade (p=0,025) e saúde mental (p=0,005) em relação à variável estado civil , em que os participantes casados apresentaram melhor qualidade de vida nestes domínios. Houve uma diferença significativa também no domínio vitalidade (p=0,029) em relação à variável idade em anos , indicando que o grupo com idade até 40 anos teve pior qualidade de vida em relação ao grupo mais velho. Na comparação com a variável escolaridade , houve diferença significativa no domínio estado geral de saúde (p=0,047), em que aqueles com ensino fundamental apresentaram pior qualidade de vida aos que possuem ensino médio. Houve diferença significativa no domínio vitalidade (p=0,020) na comparação com a variável tempo de função , em que o grupo com menor tempo teve pior qualidade de vida em relação ao grupo mais antigo. Ao comparar o Whoqol-Bref com os dados socioeconômicos, para todas as classes econômicas, a maior pontuação foi no domínio físico e a menor foi no domínio meio ambiente . Na análise dos domínios do SF-36 em comparação com os dados socioeconômicos, houve diferença significativa no domínio dor (p=0,005) indicando os participantes das classes D e E com pior qualidade de vida em relação aos das classes B e C. Este estudo permitiu evidenciar a necessidade de implantar estratégias em prol da melhoria da qualidade de vida dessa classe de trabalhadores.

Abstract:
Este estudo teve como principal objectivo estudar comparativamente as relações que se estabelecem entre a aptidão física, qualidade de vida e o nível de actividade física de participantes e não participantes em programas de actividades físicas regulares. A amostra compreendeu 110 sujeitos divididos em dois grupos: o grupo experimental (GE, n = 57, 69 ± 5 anos de idade) que estava envolvido num programa de actividade física regular; e o grupo de controlo (GC, n = 53, 73 ± 7anos de idade) que não estava envolvido em nenhum programa regular de actividade física. Foi avaliada a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos através da versão portuguesa do SF-36, a aptidão física através do Sénior Fitness Test de Rikli e Jones e, o nível de actividade física através do uso de acelerómetros. O grupo experimental apresentou resultados superiores de qualidade de vida, aptidão física e de níveis de actividade física. Verificou-se a existência de uma relação entre o nível de actividade física e a qualidade de vida (p=0,000); a relação entre o nível de actividade física e a aptidão física (p=0,000 para todos os testes da aptidão física, à excepção do alcançar atrás das costas em que p=0,007); e a relação entre a qualidade de vida e a aptidão física (p=0,000 para seis minutos a andar, dois minutos de step e flexão do antebraço; p=0,017 para levantar e sentar na cadeira; p=0,004 para sentar e alcançar; p=0,155 para alcançar atrás das costas; p=0,007 para levantar e caminhar 2,44m). Concluímos que a participação em programas de actividade física estruturados e orientados permitem uma melhor qualidade de vida, uma melhoria da aptidão física e melhores níveis de actividade física. - ABSTRACT: The main purpose of the study was to compare the relations between physical fitness, quality of life and physical activity in elder participants and non participants in a physical activity program. The hundred and ten participants were divided en two groups: the experimental group (GE, n = 57,69 ± 5 years) who were involved in a regular physical activity program and the (GC, n = 53,73 ± 7 years) who wasn’t part of any regular program. In order to retrieve group data the Portuguese version of the sf-36 questionnaire was used to assess the participant’s quality of life, the physical fitness was evaluated by applying Rikli and Jones Sénior Fitness Test and the level of physical activity was measured using GTM1 accelerometers. The experimental group obtained better results in physical fitness, quality of life and higher level of physical activity. It was established correlations between: physical activity levels and quality of life (p=0,000); physical activity levels and physical fitness (p=0,000 for all Rikli and Jones fitness tests except back scratch test which had p=0,007)); quality of life and physical fitness (p=0,000 in six minutes walk test, 2 minutes step test and arm curl test; p=0,017 in chair stand test; p=0,004 in sit and reach test; p=0,155 in back scratch test; p=0,007 in 8 foot up and go test). The results show that taking part in structured and oriented physical activity programs allow better quality of life, higher physical fitness and a more active life.

Hirsutism is excessive hair growth in women. The prevalence is estimated at 5%. The aim of this thesis was to describe different aspects of how life is affected for women suffering from hirsutism. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used. Study I showed that hirsutism deeply affects women’s experiences of their bodies in a negative way and was experienced as a life sorrow. In Study II the patient-physician relationship was described. The patient-physician relationship from the patient’s perspective was suboptimal, as most meetings included feelings of being rejected and even humiliation. In Study III the aim was to translate and psychometrically evaluate an instrument that measures perceived social support, “The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support” (MSPSS). The translation was performed according to WHO:s official process, and validation was performed in a sample that consisted of 281 participants, 127 women with hirsutism (main sample) and 154 nursing students. MSPSS had good psychometric properties with regard to factor structure, construct validity, internal consistency and reproducibility. Study IV described different aspects of HRQoL in the main sample, the correlation of anxiety, depression, level of hairiness, age and BMI. The F-G scores were dichotomized into minor (F-G ≤14) and major (F-G≥15) hair growth. Higher levels of hair growth were significantly correlated to a lower level of QoL measured by DLQI, EQ-5D and symptoms of both anxiety and depression measured by HADS. Study V investigated if social support was associated with quality of life and outcome of HRQoL compared to a reference group of women (n=1115). SF-36, the MSPSS and the F-G scale were used. Compared to the reference group, women with hirsutism reported lower quality of life in all dimensions of SF-36 (p<0.01) The dimension most affected was vitality (VT=41.2), which had a lower value than has been reported for patients with MS and myasthenia gravis. A Multiple Regression Analysis showed a significant relation between quality of life and social support, indicating its importance for the ability to adapt, in spite of low quality of life.

Introdução: Angioedema hereditário (AEH) é um distúrbio autossômico dominante cuja principal característica é uma deficiência quantitativa e/ou funcional do inibidor de C1. As crises são imprevisíveis, incapacitantes e debilitantes, além de configurarem uma condição potencialmente fatal. Objetivo: Aferir a qualidade de vida de pacientes com AEH atendidos no ambulatório de alergia do Hospital Universitário Polydoro Ernani de São Thiago – Florianópolis – Santa Catarina. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo epidemiológico observacional de delineamento transversal. Foram avaliados todos os indivíduos com diagnóstico de AEH atendidos no ambulatório de alergia clínica do Hospital Universitário Polydoro Ernani de São Thiago, no período de junho de 2016 a maio de 2017. O instrumento para avaliação da qualidade de vida dos pacientes foi a versão Brasileira do Questionário de Qualidade de Vida SF-36. Os dados foram analisados no programa IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0® e valores de p < 0,05 foram considerados significativos. Resultados: Foram avaliados trinta indivíduos com média de idade de 29,4 (DP±11,4) anos, sendo 76,7% do sexo feminino. Os melhores escores foram observados no domínio saúde mental e capacidade funcional e o pior escore foi observado no domínio limitações por aspectos emocionais. Apenas os domínios saúde mental e capacidade funcional alcançaram escores acima do percentil 50. O domínio saúde mental apresentou correlação significativa com o número de visitas ao serviço de emergência (r -0,635, p 0,000), com o número de familiares com a doença (r -0,437, p 0,016) e com o número de internações no último ano (r -0,400, p 0,028). O domínio limitações por aspectos emocionais apresentou correlação significativa com a idade (r -0,379, p 0,039) e número de familiares com a doença (r -0,454, p 0,012). O tratamento profilático esteve associado com melhor qualidade de vida. Conclusão: A qualidade de vida estava comprometida nos indivíduos estudados, sendo o pior domínio a limitação por aspectos emocionais.

Abstract:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease which may exert significant effects on the lives of patients. The Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) remains the most widely used outcome measure in MS, despite its limitations. The use of healthrelated quality of life (HRQoL) as outcome measure has been increasing in the last years, with development and utilization of several instruments. One of most utilized is the Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), a generic measure utilized for general population and for many diseases, including MS. The goals of this study are to assess psychometric properties of SF-36 (Brazilian version) in MS patients, and measure HRQoL in MS patients in the city of Uberlândia, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. HRQoL was measured in 23 MS patients and in 40 subjects of general population (blood donors) in Uberlândia, using the Brazilian version of the SF-36. EDSS score was assigned by neurologic examination at the time of interview. Reliability and validity of SF-36 were assessed. Mean scores of SF-36 domains in general and MS patient groups, general and MS patient subgroup with EDSS < 3.5, and MS patients with EDSS < 3.5 e > 4.0 were compared. Correlations among clinical aspects of disease and SF-36 scores were assessed. The Brazilian version of SF-36 is reliable and valid for use in MS patients. MS patients show lower scores in all SF-36 scales than do the general population, principally in physical function domains (p<0.05). Patients with EDSS scores < 3.5 also show lower scores in all SF-36 scales than control group. The patients with EDSS scores < 3.5 have higher mean scores in physical functioning, bodily pain, general health and energy/vitality domains than do the patients with EDSS scores > 4.0 (p<0.05). There is no correlation among time of disease and time since diagnosis with SF-36 scores. Depressive symptoms and heat intolerance show correlation with SF-36 domains and components. In conclusion, the Brasilian version of SF-36 is valid to measure HRQoL in MS patients. MS patients have a significant negative impact on all HRQoL domains measured by SF-36, including mental and social domains, compared with general population, even in the stages with less disability. Physical SF-36 scales, but not mental and social scales, decrease with EDSS progression.
A esclerose múltipla (EM) é uma doença crônica que pode ter efeitos profundos na vida dos pacientes. O Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) ainda é o instrumento mais utilizado como medida de evolução de incapacidade na EM, mas não é capaz de determinar outros efeitos da doença na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS). Um dos instrumentos mais usados para medir conceitos gerais de saúde é o Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Sua versão brasileira ainda não foi utilizada em portadores de EM. Este estudo tem como objetivos verificar as propriedades psicométricas da versão brasileira do SF-36 e avaliar a QVRS em portadores de EM da cidade de Uberlândia por meio deste instrumento. O SF-36 foi aplicado em 23 portadores de EM e em 69 doadores de sangue na cidade de Uberlândia. O EDSS foi aplicado no grupo de portadores durante exame neurológico à entrevista. Confiabilidade e validade do SF-36 foram determinadas. Foram comparados os escores médios dos domínios do SF-36 entre os grupos de portadores e controle, entre os portadores com EDSS < 3,5 e os controles, e os portadores com EDSS < 3,5 e > 4,0. Correlações entre aspectos clínicos da doença e escores do SF-36 foram medidas. O SF- 36 se mostrou confiável e válido para a avaliação da QVRS em EM. Os portadores de EM apresentaram escores mais baixos em todos os domínios do SF-36 que a população geral, principalmente nos domínios de função física (p<0,05). Portadores com EDSS < 3,5 também pontuaram menos em todos os domínios que o grupo controle (p<0,05). Pacientes com escores de EDSS ≤ 3,5 apresentaram maiores escores nos domínios capacidade física, dor, estado geral da saúde e vitalidade que os pacientes com EDSS ≥ 4,0 (p<0,05). Não houve correlação da duração da doença e do tempo de diagnóstico com os domínios e componentes do SF-36. Sintomas depressivos e intolerância ao calor mostraram correlação com domínios e componentes do SF-36. Concluindo, a versão brasileira do SF-36 é válida para avaliar a QVRS em portadores de EM. A doença provoca um impacto negativo significante em todos os domínios do SF-36, comparados à população geral, mesmo nas fases de menor incapacidade. Escores físicos diminuem com a progressão do EDSS, mas os escores mentais e sociais são baixos nos estágios iniciais, refletindo o impacto psicológico do diagnóstico de EM, e se mantém relativamente estáveis com a progressão da doença.

Abstract:
Health-related quality of life (HRQL) measures taken before and after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) aid in determining meaningful patient-perceived outcomes associated with alternative clinical interventions. This study compared performance of the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (MOS SF-36) subscales for Physical Functioning (PF), Role Physical (RP), Mental Health (MH), and Role Emotional (RE) against two other questionnaires, i.e. the Veteran's Specific Activity Questionnaire (VSAQ: self-efficacy for vigorous physical activity) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II: mental-emotional functioning). Seventy-one patients (59-M; 12-F; age, Mean + SD = 63 ± 8.6 years) were administered these three questionnaires just before and 3 months following CABG surgery. Score distributions were evaluated for the pre- and post-surgery measurements, as were change scores after CABG. All measures except the MOS SF-36 subscales for RP and RE showed statistically significant change after CABG (p<0.01). Only the subscales of RP and RE demonstrated substantial ceiling (21.0% and 56.3%) and floor effects (49.3% and 16.9%). Evaluation of individual change scores after CABG indicated that 59% and 62% of the patients, respectively, had clinically meaningful increases in the two measures of physical capability, i.e. PF and VSAQ. In contrast, 60% and 72% of patients, respectively, showed no clinically meaningful changes in the two measures of emotional functioning, i.e. RE and BDI-II scores. Chi-square analyses revealed that use of scales with similar definitional constructs resulted in significantly different surgical outcomes for the following: PF vs VSAQ (p<0.001), RP vs VSAQ (p<0.02); and MH vs BDI-II (p<0.0001). These findings illustrate the limitations in performance of the MOS SF-36 for assessing changes of importance in HRQL after CABG. The VSAQ and BDI-II, two simple measures of physical and emotional functioning that are fundamentally similar to those contained in the MOS SF-36, appear to be sensitive markers for detecting changes in these important outcomes after CABG surgery.
