The Relationship between Hwabyung Symptoms and Quality of Life among Middle-Aged Women

Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between Hwabyung symptoms and life quality, and prepare basic data to improve life quality of middle-aged women. Research method: this research conducted a survey, and respondents of the survey were 230 middle-aged women conveniently sampled from two cities from March 10, to May 4, 2017. The survey data were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 program. The average point of Hwabyung symptoms of respondents was 1.12±.61 (0-4), and that of quality of life was 3.16±.42 (1-5). The variables significantly affecting Hwabyung symptoms were educational level (F=7.14, p=.001), monthly income (F=6.63, p<.001), and health condition (F=12.10, p<.001). Quality of life was significantly and negatively correlated with Hwabyung symptoms (r=-.204, p=.002). Data analysis showed that the lower education level is, the lower monthly income is, and the worse health condition is, the higher the symptom is, and that the higher educational level is, and the higher monthly income is, the higher life quality is. Therefore, to reduce Hwabyung symptoms, and improve life quality among middle-aged women, various educational means should be suggested and applied.

Kinesiophobia and self‐management behaviour related to physical activity in Chinese patients with coronary heart disease: The mediating role of self‐efficacy

“…First, the mean score for SMBPA was 87.57 (SD = 32.02) and 65.0% of participants were at middle or low level. It showed that the SMBPA of most patients with CHD was at a middle and low level, which was similar to the results of most studies on self‐management (Yang, 2020a, 2020b; Zhang & Fu, 2020). This result indicates that the level of SMBPA in patients with CHD needs to be improved.…”

“…Therefore, self‐management behaviour related to physical activity (SMBPA) is significant for patients with CHD. Multiple studies have shown that the self‐management behaviours of patients with CHD are at a medium and low level in China (Yang, 2020a, 2020b; Zhang & Fu, 2020). In order to improve lifestyle and reduce the risk of CHD for the Chinese patients, a comprehensive understanding of the factors associated with SMBPA is an essential step in designing and implementing effective interventions.…”

A Study on the Mediating Effect of Self-esteem in the Relationship between Aging Anxiety and Depression

“…In the case of middle-aged people, the higher the aging anxiety, the higher the feeling of depression. The experience of aging due to deterioration of one's own physical abilities and health, and the burden of family and social roles experienced in the people can eventually lead to fear of aging and aging anxiety [9]. This is because the psychological instability of the middle-aged has an effect on reducing life satisfaction.…”
