“…Pereria et al studied QOL of elderly CKD patients in particular and observed psychological domain as worst demanding special planning in care. 19 A positive correlation between comorbidities and complications and an inverse correlation between the number of complications and QOL was also n among elderly people with chronic kidney disease in a Brazilian study. 19 Many authors from different regions compared hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients and were of the opinion that PD improved quality of life.…”

Background: The quality of life is an important assessment tool in improving the quality of care among chronic kidney diseases (CKD) especially in a palliative care setup. This study attempted to assess the quality of life of chronic kidney disease patients.Methods: This community based cross sectional study was conducted among 140 patients who were registered at palliative clinics in Malappuram District, Kerala using a standard tool for quality of life (QOL) in Malayalam version. Domain scores were analysed across clinic epidemiological factors.Results: Mean age of the study population was 53.99 (14.36%). Majority 73 (52.1%) were educated up to upper primary. The median duration of CKD was 4 years and ranged from 3 months to 22 years. 55.3% were undergoing dialysis 16.3% had renal transplantation. Hypertension was reported by 65% and diabetes by 50.7%. The highest score was obtained in the environmental and lowest in the psychological domain. Age below 40 years, male gender and provision of an income was associated with better QOL scores and perception scores. QOL was significantly higher in all domains among those who had undergone renal transplantation compared to those on hemodialysis. Conclusions: The status of renal transplantation and younger age group positively affected the good quality of life. Considering the cost of renal transplantation and post-transplant survival peritoneal dialysis could be promoted in low resource settings. Secondary prevention of hypertension and diabetes should be addressed at programme level to delay nephropathy.

“…Regarding age, the result is similar to the recommendation by the Brazilian Society of Cardiology, in which age >55 years old for men and >65 years old for women are considered as a cardiovascular risk factor. A study conducted with elderly patients with a mean age of 68.26 years old who were on conservative treatment at the uremia outpatient clinic in a public hospital showed that 77.1% had high blood pressure as a consequence of chronic kidney disease (6,15) .…”

Objective: to correlate cardiovascular risk factors of patients with kidney disease with elevated blood pressure levels. Methods: this is a cross-sectional study with 150 patients on hemodialysis. Two forms were used, one referring to socioeconomic factors and the other to lifestyle. Results: the sample consisted predominantly of male patients, aged over 52 years old, married and not working. Blood pressure levels were the most affected of the cardiovascular risk factors, where 78.0% had systolic blood pressure above ideal values. A statistically significant association was found between blood pressure and age (p=0.024) and between blood pressure and ability to deal with stress (p=0.015). Conclusion: through this study, it was verified that the statistical significance between the variables indicates that high systolic blood pressure, age and ability to deal with stress favor cardiovascular risk factors in patients with chronic kidney disease. Descriptors: Risk Factors; Life Style; Cardiovascular Diseases.Objetivo: correlacionar fatores de risco cardiovascular de pacientes com doença renal com níveis pressóricos elevados. Métodos: estudo transversal realizado com 150 pacientes em hemodiálise. Foram utilizados dois formulários, um referente aos fatores socioeconômicos e outro ao estilo de vida. Resultados: a amostra foi composta predominantemente por pacientes do sexo masculino, idade acima de 52 anos, casados e não exercendo atividade laboral. Dos fatores de risco cardiovascular, os níveis pressóricos foram os mais alterados, onde 78,0% estavam com pressão arterial sistólica acima dos valores ideais. Foi encontrada associação estatisticamente significativa entre pressão arterial e idade (p=0,024) e entre pressão arterial e capacidade de lidar com o estresse (p=0,015). Conclusão: por meio deste estudo, pôde-se verificar que a significância estatística entre as variáveis indica que a pressão arterial sistólica elevada, a idade e a capacidade em lidar com o estresse favorecem os fatores de risco cardiovascular em pacientes com doença renal crônica.

“…In order to assess the QOL in adults, the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-bref) was used, with 26 assertions divided into four domains: physical (items: 3, 4, 10, 15, 16, 17, and 18 ), psychological (items: 5, 6, 7, 11, 19, and 26), social relations (items: 20, 21, and 22), and environment (items: 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, and 25), in addition to 2 general assertions of QOL (items 1 and 2), which correspond to the 24 facets of the original WHOQOL (14), 2000 [13][14][15] .…”

“…The researchers were trained to administer the questionnaires to avoid possible inconsistencies in data collection, although the instruments used in the study were composed of self-report items. The preparation of the data After identifying the emotional state of the child, the items were read out to them, and they indicated their response, ranging from 0 to 3 (very unhappy, unhappy, happy, and very happy, respectively); a final score is calculated with the sum of scores on each question 13 .…”

Introdução: Os traços de iniquidade relacionados à cor da pele ainda são observados na população brasileira, deixando evidente os prejuízos na Qualidade de Vida e cuidados da saúde da população negra.Objetivo: Descrever a qualidade de vida dos quilombolas residentes na comunidade Barra do Aroeira no município de Santa Tereza, Tocantins, Brasil.Método: Estudo descritivo de caráter transversal, realizado entre os meses de outubro de 2015 e setembro de 2016 na comunidade quilombola Barra do Aroeira, localizada a 12 quilômetros da área urbana do Município de Santa Teresa e a 96 quilômetros de Palmas, capital do estado de Tocantins. Foi aplicado um instrumento para a avaliação da qualidade de vida das crianças, utilizando o questionário - Autoquestionnaire Qualité de Vie Enfant Imagé (Auqei), o qual possui 26 itens e uma escala composta por quatro fatores: Autonomia, Lazer, Função e Família que abrangem 18 itens, os de números 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, 20, 22 e 26 não estão incluídas nos fatores citados por não pertencerem a um domínio específico, com isso sua análise é de forma isolada. Para avaliação da qualidade de vida em adultos foi utilizado o World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-bref) instrumento que possui 26 assertivas, divididas em quatro domínios: físico, psicológico, relações sociais e meio ambiente, mais 2 assertivas gerais de qualidade de vida. A análise descritiva dos dados qualitativos foi realizada por frequência absoluta e frequência relativa. Para as variáveis quantitativas, utilizou-se, média, desvio padrão, mínimo e máximo. O programa utilizado foi o Stata versão 11.0.Resultados: Em relação a qualidade de vida das crianças segundo o sexo, as meninas apresentaram média de 11,0 no fator Função, no fator Família, Lazer e Autonomia, se apresentou com média de 12,3, 8,2 e 4,8, respectivamente. Para os meninos o fator Função teve média de 11,0, o fator Família de 12,0, e os fatores Lazer e Autonomia de 7,6 e 5,6, nessa sequência. Entre os adultos os homens apresentaram menor valor no domínio Físico com média de 13,7, as mulheres tiveram menores médias nos domínios Físico e Meio ambiente, com valores iguais a 13,8. Nos escores gerais o sexo masculino obteve maior valor quando comparado ao sexo feminino, 14,0 e 13,6, respectivamente.Conclusão: O estudo demonstrou que entre as crianças o fator Familiar apresentou maiores valores médios, seguido dos fatores Função, Lazer e Autonomia, respectivamente. Ao estudar os adultos, o domínio com melhor escore foi o de Relações sociais, por outro lado, o domínio Físico apresentou o pior escore para homens e mulheres. Contudo, investigações realizadas referentes à qualidade de vida em quilombolas representam um número ainda baixo, dificultando a compreensão das possibilidades de melhoria da qualidade de vida nessa população.
