ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the changes of quality of life and influence factors in patients with multidrugresistant pulmonary tuber-culosis. Methods Using the SF-36 scale of 80 normal subjects and 80 cases of MDRTB patients before and after treatment and quality of life score total score evaluated dimensions. Results Between the patients with MDR-TB and the control in the total Qol scores and eight dimensionality, there were significant differences(P＜0.01), total Qol scores and eight dimensionality in 3 months or 1 year after treatment were higher than before therapy,there were significant differences(P＜0.01 ). Between 1 year after therapy in the total Qol scores and PF, PR, GH, VT, SF, ER, MH, dimensionality were lower than control groups, there were significant differences(P＜0.05 ). The main factors affecting the Qol of patients with MDR-TB were cultural level, kinds of drug resistant and reduction of counts of white blood cell. Conclusion The correlation between quality of life and education, the number of drug resistance, reduction of white blood cell in patients with multi-drugresistant pulmonary tuberculosis.
