“…I‐QOL sub‐dimension and total scores determined by Lateef et al are similar to the results obtained in the present study 37 . Although the sub‐dimension mean scores were higher in the study of Ojala et al, the mean total score was similar 38 . These results indicate that incontinence is a problem that negatively affects the quality of life socially, behaviourally, and psychologically.…”

With the decline in birth rate and improving living standards all over the world, life expectancy, and thus the elderly population, is gradually increasing. 1,2 As of 2019, the population aged 60 and over in the world is 962 million, and this figure is expected to increase rapidly and reach 1.4 billion in 2030 and 2.1 billion in 2050. 3 Because of the global ageing of the world population and the increase in the elderly population, age-related physiological changes, and related problems arise. With ageing, chronic diseases (Hypertension, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Dementia) problems such as fatigue, imbalance, osteoporosis, urinary retention, and disorientation become more common in elderly individuals.In addition, one of the most common problems seen independent of diseases is sleep disorders. 4,5 Wang et al investigated morbidity and symptom prevalence in the elderly and found that elderly individuals mostly experience sleep problems (37.7%). 6 Many studies have reported that individuals aged 65 and over frequently experience sleep problems. [6][7][8][9][10][11] It has been determined that elderly individuals generally experience problems such as falling asleep, waking up frequently at night, sleeping too much during the day, insomnia, and waking up early. 12,13 It has been reported that 20%-50% of adult individuals and 57% of home-dwelling elderly people in Western countries suffer from sleep problems and this rate is higher in elderly people living in nursing homes. [10][11][12][13][14][15] The prevalence of urinary incontinence increases with ageing and it is another important geriatric condition that causes problems during sleep by increasing the frequency of urination at night. The fact that urinary incontinence is a social problem that is generally not mentioned by the elderly leads to under-diagnosis and urinary

Objective Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a multidimensional patient-related outcome. Less is known about the role of depressive symptoms on HRQoL in chronic diseases. This follow-up study analyzed depressive symptoms’ association with HRQoL change measured with 15D in patients with chronic diseases. Design and setting A total of 587 patients from the Siilinjärvi Health Center, Finland were followed up due to the treatment of hypertension (HA), coronary artery disease (CAD) or diabetes (DM). Depressive symptoms were based on Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (BDI ≥10 =depressive symptoms). HRQoL was assessed at the baseline and after 12 months. Results There were 244 patients with HA (mean age 70 years, 59% women); 103 patients (72 years, 38%) with CAD and 240 with DM (67 years, 52%). The change from baseline to the 12-month follow-up in 15D was significantly different between patients without and with depressive symptoms in CAD ( p < 0.001) and DM ( p = 0.024). In CAD with depressive symptoms, the change was −0.064 (95% CI: −0.094 to −0.035) and in DM −0.018 (95% CI: −0.037 to 0.001). In the 15 HRQoL dimensions of 15D, a depressive symptoms-related decrease was found in three dimensions with HA, in 9 with CAD and in 7 with DM. As a function of the BDI at baseline, the 15D score decreased significantly among patients with CAD and DM. Conclusions Depressive symptoms impact negatively on future HRQoL among primary care patients with coronary artery disease and diabetes emphasizing that mood should be acknowledged in their care and follow-up.

“…The tools from the Health state descriptive system have been used in multiple studies, to monitor HRQoL in drug clinical research (Huoponen et al, 2020 ; Ojala, Sintonen, Roine, Strandberg, & Schalin-Jantti, 2020 ), following surgery (Ho et al, 2020 ; Vannas, Farkkila, Sintonen, Aberg, & Isoniemi, 2020 ), during rehabilitation (Roine et al, 2020 ) and in various conditions such as asthma (Ilmarinen et al, 2019 ; Rutishauser, Sawyer, & Bowes, 1998 ), diabetes (Karamanakos et al, 2019 ), renal transplantation (Qvist et al, 2004 ), cancer (Toija, Kettunen, Leidenius, Vainiola, & Roine, 2019 ), and mental illness (Granö, Karjalainen, Suominen, & Roine, 2011 ).

Purpose: The Health state descriptive system includes standardized self-administered instruments for measuring Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) respectively among adolescents, and children. The objectives of the current study were: (1) to translate and adapt the pediatric-adolescent version 16D and 17D from English into French (Canada), (2) to demonstrate their feasibility in pediatric conditions. Methods: The translation methodology combined forward and back translations, and cognitive debriefing with eight adolescents and eight children. Four bilingual translators were involved in the process. We administered the translated versions to two clinical samples, being treated for Primary immunodeficiency (PID, n = 48, aged 14.1 years, 20 girls), and having recovered from pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL, n = 153, aged 14.7 years, 77 girls). Results: Cognitive debriefing indicated that that the instructions, items, and response options were clear, easy to understand, and easy to answer. Adjustments were made for clarity. Translated versions were highly usable (measurement completion >90%). HRQoL levels were high for both samples (range 0.85-0.96). Participants reported lower levels if they were adolescents, particularly if they were girls. Older boys with PID reported a lower HRQoL than their counterparts with a history of ALL. PID and ALL patients mainly reported issues with discomfort and pain, concentration/learning, physical appearance, and psychological distress and sleeping, although to a different degree. Conclusion:The French-language versions of the 16D and 17D are easy to administer and may be used to identify problematic domains. Greater availability of translated versions of short evaluation tools may facilitate broader uptake of screening practices in pediatric care.
