ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence of psychological intervention on quality of life(QOL) in the hysteromyoma patients underwent surgery. Methods Three hundred and twenty patients with hysteromyoma were divided into the psychological intervened group ( all cases were treated with the comprehensive psychological intervention) and the control group (without intervention). Before and after treatment, the scores of the Olson's Enrich Questionary and the Nottingham Health Poofity (NHP) were assessed in the two groups. Results Before surgery, the scores of N HP and Olson were not significantly different between the psychological intervened group and the control group ( P > 0. 05 ). The scores of NHP of total hysterectomy in the control group after surgery were higher than that before surgery,and the scores of Olson were lower significantly ( P <0. 05 or P <0. 01). The scores of NHP of subtotal hysterectomy, myomectomy and blood vessel involvement treatment in the control group after surgery were significantly lower than that before surgery, and the scores of Olson were higher ( P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01 ). After surgery,the scores of NHP of all patients in the psychological intervened group were significantly lower than that in the control group,and the scores of Olson were higher significantly (P <0. 05 or P <0. 01). There was no significant difference in ovarian hormones level between pre- and post- surgery (P > 0. 05). Conclusions The comprehensive psychological intervention pre- and post- surgery is good for the quality of life in hysteromyoma patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influence on the quality of marital and life of the congenital absence of vagina patients with operation by psychological intervention.Methods The congenital absente of vagina patients were divided into psycholOgical intervened group(n=18,all cases were treated with the cognitive and behaviour therapy)and without intervened group(n=11).Before and after treatment the scores of the nottingham health poofity(NHP)were used in the two groups.After treatment the Olson's enrich questionary were tested also.Results The scores of NHP and Olson of psychological intervened group were significantly superior to those without intervened group(P＜0.05 or P＜0 01).Conclusion The cogntive and behaviour theraopy before operation is good for the quality of marital and life in congenital absence of vagina patients.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Fibromylagia (FM) is a rheumatic disorder characterized by widespread bodily pain, tenderness, and fatigue. It has a major impact on the quality of life including the quality of marital life. The objectives of this study were to assess the quality of marital life in patients with FM in Korea and to identify the correlation of the quality of marital life with disease severity. MEHTODS: Subjects were the patient group, composed of 50 married patients with FM, and a comparison group composed of 50 healthy married adults with similar demographic characteristics. The quality of marital life was measured using the Korean-Marital Satisfaction Inventory (K-MSI). The K-MSI consists of two valid scales, one global affective scale, and eleven additional scales measuring specific dimensions of relationship distress. The clinical parameters were assessed by Korean Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (KFIQ) and tender point, respectively from 50 patients with FM. RESULTS: Of the 50 subjects, 48 (96%) were women with mean (+/-SD) age of 52.6(+/-8.8) years. The mean (+/-SD) duration of disease was 25.7 (+/-19.8) months. The mean (+/-SD) scores of KFIQ and tender point count were 52.9 (+/-14.9) and 13.1 (+/-1.6), respectively. The T-score of most scales of K-MSI of FM patients were higher than that of healthy controls (p<0.01). The scores of KFIQ were positively correlated with the eight scales of K-MSI and negatively correlated with one scale (Role orientation) of K-MSI. The tender point count was positively correlated with only one of scale (Conflict with in-law) of K-MSI. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the quality of marital life in Korean patients of FM is lower than healthy subjects. In a simple correlation analysis, KFIQ was a meaningful variable correlated with the quality of marital life.
