“…Assessing and monitoring the quality of life of individuals suffering from a chronic disease are important in the planning of intervention strategies, given that it provides relevant information on the patient, enabling the identification of his/her priorities and subsidizing health programs towards the implementation of effective action and, therefore, offer a better quality of life to health care users (Kluthcovsky and Kluthcovsky 2009). HRQoL is an important measure to evaluate the impact of a disease and the effects of medical intervention, thus, an improvement in HRQoL is considered to be an essential primary outcome and determinant of therapeutic benefit.…”

Problem Statement: Chronic disease entails physical, psychological and social issues with a decrease in the quality of life. The assessment of QoL has been applied as indicator in patients with chronic diseases. Research Questions: What is the quality of life in patients with chronic disease? What are the socio-demographic variables that influence the quality of life in patients? Purpose: To assess the quality of life in patients suffering from chronic disease and identify socio-demographic variables which influence the quality of life of patients suffering from chronic disease. Research Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analytical study using a sample composed of 228 users (134 females) from a Family Health Unit in the municipality of Viseu. Data collection was made by means of a questionnaire, consisting of sociodemographic variables, the SF-12 scale and the existence of chronic disease was assessed through the questions -"Do you currently suffer from any chronic disease?"; "If so, which one(s)?". Findings: The most common chronic diseases were hypertension (59.9%). Female patients with a chronic disease reported worse physical functioning, role-physical and role-emotional; increased bodily pain and better quality of life regarding general health. Male patients showed worse role-physical, increased bodily pain and vitality. Sociodemographic variables which were associated with quality of life were area of residence, academic qualifications and work situation. Conclusion: Chronic disease affects quality of life negatively. Quality of life in both patients groups was associated with socio-demographic variables. Health-related quality of life is an essential issue and should be considered as a priority in health policies.

This instrument allows describing the subjective perception of individuals in relation to their physical and psychological health, social relationships and the environment in which they live 8 . It is observed that several studies performed in Brazil evaluated the QOL of individuals in specific populations, such as the elderly and pregnant women, [9][10][11] or in those with different health problems [12][13][14] .…”

RESUMOOBJETIVO: Correlacionar a dor lombar no terceiro trimestre gestacional com a qualidade de vida (QV). MÉTODOS: A amostra foi composta por 120 mulheres no terceiro trimestre de gestação, sendo 40 gestantes no 7º mês (28ª semana à 31ª semana), 40 gestantes no 8º mês (32ª semana à 35ª semana) e 40 gestantes no 9º mês (36ª semana à 39ª semana). Trata-se de um estudo descritivo de paradigma quantitativo e corte transversal. Foram utilizados como instrumentos para a coleta de dados: a ficha de avaliação, a Escala Analógica de Dor e Incapacidade Funcional (EADIF) e o questionário WHOQOL-bref. Para a avaliação dos dados foi utilizada análise estatística descritiva (média, desvio padrão, mínimo e máximo). O teste de correlação de Spearman foi aplicado para determinar a confiabilidade das medidas. RESULTADOS: Das gestantes analisadas, 80,83% apresentam lombalgia. Quanto à intensidade da dor, aumentou com o tempo de gestação. Na 29ª semana, houve um pico de dor e entre a 35ª à 37ª semanas também, apresentando uma escala entre 'pouca dor' e 'dor razoável'. Observou-se que o domínio físico é o que melhor se correlaciona, tanto com o escore total do Whooqol-bref, quanto no da EADIF. Os índices de QV demonstraram que as gestantes apresentaram um intervalo entre 'nem satisfatório, nem insatisfatório' e 'satisfatório'. CONCLUSÕES: As modificações físicas e emocionais que acontecem durante a gestação nem sempre constituem os fatores intervenientes na QV das gestantes. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Gestação. Dor lombar. Qualidade de vida.
