Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine quality of life (QoL) and acceptance of illness in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. The study involved 315 adult patients of the mean age of 63.9±15.7 years. The World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument Short Form and the Acceptance of Illness Scale were used. The mean score for QoL was 2.0±1.3. The highest scores were obtained in the Social Relationship Domain (13.9±2.7) and the lowest in the Environmental Domain (10.5±2.2). The strongest correlations within QoL domains were noted between Physical and Psychological Domains: r=0.611 (p<0.001), Psychological and Social Domains: r=0.605 (p<0.001). The overall degree of illness acceptance was low (26.0±7.8). The strongest correlations were observed between illness acceptance and Physical: r=0.591 (p<0.001) and Psychological Domains: r=0.450 (p<0.001). We conclude that illness acceptance can be augmented by improving the patient's clinical state and by the provision of psychological support and QoL by improving the Psychological and Environmental Domains.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
