AB STRACT:The pur pose of this study was to inves ti gate the qual ity of life (QOL) in patients before and after perma nent pace maker implan ta tion. A fol low-up study design was adopted and pur pos ive sam pling was applied to recruit sub jects from two med i cal cen ters in Tai pei City. Sub jects were inter viewed before pace maker implan ta tion. Fol low-up inter views were con ducted at sec ond, fourth, and sixth month after pace maker implan ta tion. There were 42 sub jects enrolled in this study. These sub jects had mod erate QOL (62.4 ± 15.9 on a scale of 97) before pace maker implan ta tion and the QOL improved sig nif icantly after pace maker implan ta tion(p < .05). The QOL improve ment reached a peak at the end of the fourth month and the scores decreased at the end of the sixth month vs. the fourth month (p < .05). They had sig nif i cant improve ment in "gen eral well-being", "sleep ing", "appe tite", "phys i cal activ ity", and "phys i cal symp toms" (p < .05), but not in "cog ni tive func tion", "social par tic i pa tion", "work capa bility" and "sex ual func tion" (p > .05). Sub jects with spouses as their main care givers had sig nif i cantly better improve ment in QOL after pace maker implan ta tion. Sub jects' per cep tions of dis tress from arrhyth mia were the most sig nif i cant deter mi nant in their QOL pre and post pace maker implan ta tion. The find ings sug gest that aggres sively resolv ing arrhyth mia dis tress is impor tant for improv ing QOL.Key Words: qual ity of life (QOL), per ma nent pace maker im plan ta tion, ar rhyth mia dis tress.

“…In about 40% a total, and in 35% a satisfactory rehabilitation was achieved after pacemaker implantation, measured by the criteria "being able to return to work or being able to return to a normal healthy life for the age group" (total rehabilitation) or "being able to take care of oneself, being able to engage in mild physical and social activity" (satisfactory rehabilitation) (40,41). This finding is supported by a selfadministered questionnaire wherein 74% of the pacemaker patients reported to lead a normal life for their age (35). The social integration improves from 54% prior to implantation to 83% one year after implantation, although no effect is seen on employment (19,37).…”

EditorialPacemaker therapy: how do patients cope with the icon of modern antibradycard treatment?Pacemaker treatment in the nineties is a well-established therapy. The indications for implantation are well defined (1) and although there are differences between countries, they are accepted world-wide. The technical equipment is sophisticated, the surgical techniques as well as the cardiological follow-up are of high standard. While medical problems concerning pacemaker therapy are widely discussed in professional publications, comparatively few articles deal with the psychosocial needs of pacemaker patients. To direct attention to this topic, we will give an overview on the psychosocial aspects of pacemaker therapy. Proposals for further research are put forward for discussion. Our survey is divided into three chapters: the pre-implantation period, the pacemaker implantation phase and the follow-up period.

Objective: To observe the quality of life of patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).Methods: This is a descriptive research with a quantitative approach. Data collection was done through an interview. The Questionnaire SF-36 was used to analyze data, which has been collected in a cardiovascular outpatient service. Fifty patients with this device took part in the study during their medical follow-up from January to December.Results: Of the 50 patients, 19 (38%) were female and 31 (62%) male. The mean age of the patients was 58.4 years, with ages ranging from 21 to 75 years. It was observed two domains regarding limitations by physical and emotional profiles below score 50. The domain social profiles presented the higher score 80.5. Most of the patients reported that their health was a little better compared with a year ago. Conclusion:The results showed a loss in the patients' quality of life, with lower scores in the physical and emotional profiles. There was no correlation between quality of life with the variables age, sex, marital status and education level. However, patients feel relieved and secure with the benefits provided by ICD in maintaining their lives by protecting them from sudden death.
