“…Most studies have found that patients with essential hypertension reported a worse QoL than that of normotensive individuals [18][19]. Population studies have shown that the HRQoL of individuals who have not been treated as well as those who have been treated for arterial hypertension is lower by 10-20%, provided they are aware of their diagnosis [10,[16][17]20].…”

Hypertension is a common chronic disease amenable to control by adopting relevant lifestyle modifications and/or appropriate medication. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of patient centered approach on self-reported health related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with essential hypertension attending Internal Medicine outpatient clinic in Zagazig University hospital. This single blinded randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted in Zagazig university internal medicine outpatient clinic on 112 non complicated apparently healthy essential hypertensive patients without comorbidities from 45 to 65 years old randomly allocated into two groups (intervention and control 1:1). Data for this study was collected by social, biological and SF-12v2 questionnaire for both groups. Then management of the intervention group according to the patient centered approach for nine months while patients within control group received classic disease centered approach. The patients within intervention group were given an individualized medical care and tailored patient education program about essential hypertension. The outcome of disease was assessed by measuring change in blood pressure control and health related quality of life within the two groups. It has been found that patients with essential hypertension within both groups reported deteriorated HRQoL yet there was no statistically significant difference between both groups regarding HRQoL at the start of the study. By the end of the study, there was a statistically significant difference between the two study groups regarding blood pressure control and self reported health related quality of life where patients within intervention group reported statistically significant improvement in both variables. In conclusion, the patient centered approach is better than the disease centered approach in management of patients with essential hypertension.

“…The PGWBI is an instrument that is used to measure the balance between negative and positive emotional and affective conditions while avoiding references to physical symptoms of emotional distress. It has been widely tested in previous research in cardiovascular disease 36–40, 43 and in psychiatric patient populations 35, 41, 42, but has not been previously used to evaluate adults with rectal cancer.…”

“…Klocek и K. Kawecka-Jaszcz [21] исследовали, может ли оценка качества жизни помочь в назначе-нии индивидуального лечения и улучшить его эф-фективность. Цель исследования -сравнение об-щего качества жизни пациентов, страдающих АГ, и исследуемых лиц с нормальным артериальным дав-лением, а также анализ влияния социальных и демо-графических факторов на качество жизни.…”

Материал и методы. Основную группу составили 508 жителей Каунаса в возрасте 25-84 лет, перенесших первый церебральный инсульт. В контрольную группу вошли случайно отобранные сопоставимые по возрасту и полу 508 жителей Каунаса из популяции лиц, никогда не переносивших инсульт. Для оценки качества жизни использовалась анкета SF-12. Анализ качества жизни в области физического и психического здоровья проводился, принимая во внимание заболеваемость хроническими неинфекционными болезнями и употребление лекарственных препаратов. Страдающих более чем одной хронической неинфекционной болезнью в основной группе было 38,6%, в контрольной группе -17,2% (p<0,001). По употреблению антигипертензивных (66,5% в основной группе и 67,3% в контрольной) и антитромботических (21,5 и 24,6% соответственно) средств сравниваемые группы не различались. Результаты и обсуждение. Оценка физического здоровья страдающих артериальной гипертензией больных была ниже в основной (p=0,018) и контрольной (p=0,0005) группах по сравнению с не страдающими этой болезнью. Оценка физического здоровья лиц, страдающих мерцанием предсердий, по сравнению с лицами, которые мерцанием предсердий не страдают, была ниже в основной группе (p=0,0005), а оценка психического здоровья -в контрольной группе (p=0,048). Оценка физического здоровья больных сахарным диабетом по сравнению с лицами, не страдающими диабетом, была ниже в основной группе (p=0,0005). У больных хроническими неинфекционными болезнями достоверная зависимость качества жизни от употребления антигипертензивных и антитромботических средств до развития церебрального инсульта установлена не была. При этом в контрольной группе употребление антитромботических средств достоверно (p<0,05) улучшало качество жизни в области физического здоровья. Ключевые слова: церебральный инсульт, качество жизни, анкета SF-12.Objective. To determine relations between quality of life, morbidity of chronic non-infectious diseases and use of pharmaceuticals by stroke patients. Material and methods. The case group consisted of 508 Kaunas citizens, aged 25-84 years, who survived the stroke. The control group consisted of randomly chosen 508 sex-and age-matched Kaunas citizens without stroke. SF-12 questionnaire on the quality of life was used. Quality of life was analysed in physical and mental health domains taking into consideration morbidity of chronic non-infectious diseases and use of pharmaceuticals. The percentage of those who had more than one chronic non-infectious disease was 38.6 in the case group ...
