“…En nuestro trabajo hemos hallado una relación significativa entre CV general y satisfacción con el estado de salud, tanto al evaluar por país como por condición de morbilidad, lo cual evidencia la influencia de ésta (desde el componente subjetivo de satisfacción) lo que coincide con otras investigaciones (Míchalos, 2000;Avis et al, 1996;Han et al, 2003).…”

ResumenCon base en un diseño transversal, se evaluó la calidad de vida y su relación con factores biopsicosociales en 240 participantes, 120 de los cuales vivían con una patología médica crónica prevalente en Atención Primaria de Salud. El principal instrumento utilizado fue el WHOQoL-Bref de la OMS. Se encuentran como variables relacionados significativamente con la calidad de vida la edad, la satisfacción con la salud, el afecto positivo, la balanza de afectos, la satisfacción con la vida y la efectividad de la medicación y de manera inversa con el afecto negativo. No se encuentra relación entre la calidad de vida y el sexo, el apoyo social objetivo y el tiempo viviendo con la enfermedad.Palabras clave: Calidad de vida, factores biopsicosociales, enfermedad crónica. AbstractBased on a transectional design, quality of life and its relationship to biopsychosocial factors was evaluated in 240 participants, 120 of whom where living with a chronic medical pathology of Primary Health Attention. The main instrument used was the WHOQoL-Bref of the WHO. Satisfaction with health, positive affect, the affect balance, satisfaction with life, and mediation efficiency, were positively related to quality of life; negative affect was inversely correlated to quality of life. There was no correlation of quality of life with sex, social support, and time with the illness.

“…These illnesses have been managed in a variety of nonmedical settings, including at home, at workplace, and in community settings, rather than in the healthcare system such as at a hospital or nursing facility (1). Chronic health conditions have begun to affect an increasing number of Algerians.…”

“…It is evident that goals development and achievement is guided by an individual's representation of his or her chronic illness as is the evaluation of coping strategies outcomes. Additionally, quality of life may be related to cognitive representations of both illness and treatment (1,16). Chronic illness has a major effect on patients' disability levels and the range of difficulties experienced varies greatly from one individual to the next (17).…”

Background: Researchers lack a properly validated instrument to measure perceptions of chronic disease in Arabic language contexts. This study aimed to adapt and validate the RevisedIllness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R) for Arabic speaking chronic illness patients.Methods: A cross-sectional design was conducted to examine the psychometric properties of the adapted English version of the IPQ-R for Arabic speaking chronic illness patients. The study instrument was an Arabic version of the IPQ-R prepared through a translation process. The reliability and validity of the instrument were assessed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Three hundred and sixteen participants (ages 16-79) from the Batna region in Algeria completed the IPQ-R.Results: A total of 316 (100%) patients responded to this study. Regarding internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha a coefficient was consistently higher than 0.45. Several areas of fit were identified and substantial changes to the measurement model were made, such as the deletion of 22 items from the original 38 -item IPQ-R and two items from the original 18 causal items this accounted for 64.63% of the total variance, and the respecification of indicators had to be applied to achieve acceptable model fit. The final model consists of two sections: The 16-item Arabic IPQ-R, which had a good fit; (CMIN/Df = 1.30, P < 0.001, CFI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.08, SRMR = 0.03), and was similar to the Arabic 16 causal items (CMIN/DF = 1.11, P < 0.001, CFI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.080, SRMR = 0.02).Conclusion: The factor structure concurred with prior finding despite differences to the type of sample and cultural considerations that might explain these findings. Replication of this study in Algerian patients with specific illness, such as silicosis, breast cancer and multiple sclerosis. Further psychometric testing on other large samples is recommended.

Purpose-Scleroderma (SSc) is rare, and few studies have examined self-efficacy in persons with the disease. Self-efficacy is one precursor that has been shown to initiate changes in behavior when managing chronic disease. The objective of this study was to explore the levels of selfefficacy in persons with SSc, compare self-efficacy in persons with limited or diffuse SSc, and determine correlations between self-efficacy, physical function, and psychological variables.Methods-Sixty-two participants with SSc completed measures assessing self-efficacy, depression, fatigue, pain, hand function, and activity limitations. The mean age of participants was 52.9 years. The mean educational level was 15.8 years. Sixty-seven percent were married, and 87.1% were women. Thirty participants had diffuse SSc, 27 had limited SSc, and 5 were unclassified.Results-The only significant differences between the two disease subtypes were in hand function and self-efficacy function subscale scores. Total self-efficacy scores significantly correlated with marital status, employment, self-reported health, depression, functional ability, fatigue, pain, and hand function. Similarly, self-efficacy function scale scores significantly correlated with employment, self-reported health, functional ability, pain, and hand function. Selfefficacy pain scale scores significantly correlated with fatigability. The self-efficacy other scale scores significantly correlated with depression and fatigability. Participants with higher levels of pain and depression, more fatigue, more general disability, and more hand disability had lower self-efficacy. Conclusion-Self-efficacy correlates with physical function and psychological variables, and could predict how patients manage their health. Self-efficacy may increase through participation in educational programs focusing on self-management of these variables.
