“…and Ketelaars CA., in patients with COPD also demonstrate that the quality of life is positively correlated with good respiratory function while it is burdened with advancing age and disease ( 20 , 21 ). A moderate correlation of FEV1 values with health level and life quality emerges from the studies of Aibar Arregui et al, ( 22 ) and Pereira et al ( 23 ).…”

Introduction:Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has a significant impact on quality of life-related health.Aim:It was the detection of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by using telemetric methods and the investigation of the quality of life for people working in Shipbuilding Industry compared with a control group.Methods:A group of one hundred men working in the shipbuilding industry aged 51.8 ± 8.2 years old and a control group of one hundred men of the general population aged 51.1 ± 6.4 years were studied. All participants completed the General Health Questionnaire – 28, the Fagerstrom test and a form with demographic characteristics. Pulmonary function test results were electronically sent to a specialist for evaluation.Results:People working in the shipbuilding zone had significantly lower values (p<0.001) in FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC compared with the general population participants. Worse social functionality was exhibited by workers in the shipbuilding zone, people with elementary education, unemployed and by those suffering from comorbidities (p <0.001).Conclusions:Health level and its individual dimensions are both associated with health self-assessment and occupational and economic status. The coexistence of chronic diseases and smoking dependence affects emotion and social functioning of individuals.

ResumenObjetivo: Describir la calidad de vida de pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica año 2014. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal para evaluar la calidad de vida de los pacientes mayores de 65 años con diagnóstico de Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica. La muestra correspondió a 179 usuarios de la ESE Metrosalud (Medellín), que aceptaron participar voluntariamente en el estudio. Se aplicó una encuesta estructurada que incluyó variables sociodemográficas, algunos determinantes ambientales, sociales y aspectos relacionados con la enfermedad. Igualmente se incluyó la escala de calidad de vida Saint George la cual está constituida por tres dimensiones: síntomas, actividades e impacto. Resultados: Los pacientes encuestados tenían entre 65 y 99 años de edad, al evaluar la calidad de vida con el cuestionario Saint George la dimensión más impactada fue la actividad; se obtuvo asociación estadísticamente significativa entre calidad de vida total y el nivel de escolaridad (P= 0,005), etnia (P= 0,004), y algunas variables relacionadas con la enfermedad. Conclusiones: Existe una asociación entre la calidad relacionada con la salud, según la evaluación del SGRQ y el grado de la enfermedad.Palabras clave: Calidad de vida; signos y síntomas; Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica; impacto en el estado de salud; oxigenoterapia.

A structured survey that included socio-demographic variables, some environmental and social determinants, and aspects related to the disease was applied.

“…Chronic diseases are a very important limitation in the quality of life and functional state of many people, aside from being the source of increases in healthcare costs (Fernández Bono et al., 2008). Within the diseases that are considered to be the most incapacitating, we find chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and stroke (Aibar Arregui et al., 2007; Durán, Valderrama, Uribe, onzález, & Molina, 2010). The dependence level of the population was 51.84%, produced mainly by both diseases in old people groups (>65 years) in Murcia region (Spain).…”

Chronic diseases show a significant limitation on the quality of life and functional status, as patients as also their caregivers. The objective of this study is to analyse the quality of life of patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and stroke and their caregivers, and to find out if there is a relationship between the caregiver's overload and the quality of life of the patient, as well as to determine whether the functional status of the patients is related to the quality of life of the caregiver. Quantitative, observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective study, performed at Primary Health Care Centres of the northwest Area of Murcia Region (Spain), between January and May 2018, with 131 patients, 79 with stroke, 48 with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (4 of them with both diseases), and 110 caregivers. The EuroQol scale, Zarit's questionnaire and Barthel's index and an ad hoc questionnaire of sociodemographic variables developed for this study were used.We found a positive and significant correlation between the scores of the caregiver's overload scale and those of the caregiver's health status (r = −0.425; p = 0.001), and a negative and also significant correlation between the overload and quality of life of the patients (r = −0.297; p = 0.002) and their inability (r = 0.189; p = 0.048). The more the overload we find the worse quality of life of the caregiver, but better quality of life of the patient. The physical inability of the patients also influences on the caregiver's level of overload, but not in his health status. Intervention programmes are needed to improve the quality of life of family members as they are the best patient support and the best help for healthcare professionals.

Abstract: We can conclude that, in our work, the parameters that better correlates objective data with health-related quality of life of COPD patients are the age and the severity of the obstruction.
