ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo analyze and evaluate the responsiveness and feasibility of the quality of life instrument for patients with systemic lupus erythematos(SLE).Methods143 cases of SLE patients were measured by QLICD-SLE before and after treatment and the data were analyzed with the traditional hypothesis test and combining the effect size,standardized response mean,the relative efficiency,the standard effect size and the feasibility analysis methods.Results(1)Paired t test before and after treatment indicated that there were significant differences between after treatment and before treatment in physical(t=2.39,P<0.05) and specific module domain(t=2.22,P<0.05),while there were no significant promotion in the scores of psychological function,social function and total score after treatment.There were no significant changes of SES,SRM and CR after treatment.(2)Most patients could understand the meaning of the instrument well and spent 15-20 minutes to finish it.The rate of recovery and completed were 98.0% and 97.8% respectively.ConclusionsThe QLICD-SLE can detect clinical change of treatment with good responsiveness and feasibility.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the quality of life ( QOL) in different family life cycle residents and analyze its influencing factors. Methods Based on the stratified cluster sampling,517 married residents from three communities of Dongguan city were chosen to be investigated by a questionnaire on the general status and the MOS health survey (SF-36).The One-Way ANOVA and Multiple Regression Analysis were used to analyze the data. Result There were significant differences on the seven domains of the SF-36 ex-cept of physical pain in different family life cycle residents (P<0.05) . The scores of different domains at the retirement or senior years were the lowest ( ranging from 37.10-59.81) ,and the scores of different domains at the child-bearing period were highest (ranging from 37.10-59.81). The results of Multiple Linear Stepwise Regression showed that the QOL of different family life cycle residents were influenced by some factors. The influencing factors on PCS at the child-bearing period were income (β=1.51) and life events (β=-6.13), while that at the period of families with adolescents were economic income (β=1.81) and age (β=-0.65);that at the period of empty nest were economic income (β=-3.64) and age (β=-0.65);and that at the re-tirement or senior years were unhealthy living habit (β=-15.06),age (β=-0.56) and income (β=3.06). The influencing factors on MCS at the child-bearing period was medical insurance (β=5.86),while that at the period of families with adolescents were medical insurance (β=6.28),education (β=2.32),life events (β=-4.68) and occupation (β=-5.53);that at the period of the empty nest were age (β=-0.61) ,gender (β=-10.35) and chronic disease (β=-8.35);that at the retirement or senior years were age (β=-0.27) , economic income (β=2.55) and unhealthy living habit (β=-6.95) . Conclusion The influencing factors of QOL for different family cycle residents are not conformity with each other. It suggested that in order to im-prove the QOL of residents, the community health service including health education and health promotion should be based on different family life cycle.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo study the relationship between subjective well-being and family care degree of medical college students.Methods2695 medical college students were tested by Family APGAR index and Oxford Happiness Test-Revised.The data was analyzed by independent-sample t test,pearson correlations and linear regression.Results ( 1 ) The subjective well-being and family care degree and its factors of college students were above average.The score of subjective well-being was 43.08 ± 11.16,and the score of family care degree was 6.48 ±2.39.(2)The family care degree( t=3.462,P＜0.01) and its adaptation( t=2.718,P＜0.01),partnership( t =4.178,P＜0.01),and growth( t=4.484,P＜0.01 ) of female students were higher than male students.The family care degree ( t =3.939,P ＜ 0.01 )and its adaptation ( t =4.683,P ＜ 0.01 ),partner-ship ( t =3.306,P＜ 0.01 ),and growth ( t =2.796,P ＜ 0.01 ) and subjective well-being( t =3.508,P＜ 0.01 ) of the students who came from cities and towns were higher than the students who came from rural.(3)There was a significant relation between subjective well-being and family care degree and its factors( r=0.197 ～ 0.357,all P＜0.05 ).The partner-ship,resolve,growth and affection can forecast together the 13.2％ variance of subjective well-being.ConclusionEnhancing family care degree is contribute to the subjective well-being and psychological health of medical college students.
