Abstract

Purpose: To determine life quality levels of self reported diabetic patients and to investigate the impacts of some medical and social factors on life quality scores.Material and Methods: In this investigation performed in a primary health center in Kayseri, 294 self reported diabetic patients and 294 nondiabetic controls were taken. A sociodemographic questionnaire and SF–36 scale were administered. Additionally height, weight and HbA1c measures were taken. Chi square, unpaired t test, Mann Whitney U test, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed for statistical analyses.Results: Quality of life scores in diabetic patients were lower than controls. Physical and mental component summary scores were found 43.5±8.8 and 40.9±7.9 in diabetic patients and 44.5±8.3 and 43.5±7.9 in control group respectively. Life quality scores of female patients were lower than males. There were negative correlations between age, duration of diabetes, body mass index and quality of life scores. There was positive correlation between duration of education and life quality scores.Conclusion: Diabetic patients have lower life quality scores than controls. There are a number of social and medical factors which may affect life quality in diabetic patients. In oder to elevate life quality levels of diabetic patients, regulations including social and medical measures are necessary.

Özet

Amaç: Kendisinde şeker hastalığı olduğunu ifade eden bireylerde yaşam kalitesi düzeyini belirlemek ve çeşitli tıbbi ve sosyal faktörlerin yaşam kalitesi düzeyine etkisini incelemek.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kayseri ilindeki bir sağlık ocağında yapılan bu araştırmada, kendisinde şeker hastalığı olduğunu ifade eden 294 kişi ve şeker hastalığı olmayan 294 kişi çalışma kapsamına alındı. Her iki gruptaki bireylere sosyodemografik anket ve SF – 36 ölçeği uygulandı. Her iki grupta boy ve ağırlık ölçümleri ve diyabet grubunda HbA1c ölçümü yapıldı. İstatistiksel analizlerde, ki kare, unpaired t testi, Mann Whitney U testi, korelasyon analizi ve multiple regresyon analizi uygulandı.Bulgular: Diyabet hastalarının yaşam kalitesi puanları genel olarak kontrol grubundan daha düşüktü. Diyabet grubunda, fiziksel alan özet skoru 43,5±8,8, mental alan özet skoru 40,9±7,9; kontrol grubunda ise fiziksel alan özet skoru 44,5±8,3, mental alan özet skoru 43,5±7,9 bulundu. Diyabet grubundaki kadın hastaların yaşam kalitesi puanları erkeklerden düşüktü. Diyabet hastalarında; yaş, diyabet süresi, beden kitle indeksi ve HbA1c değerleriyle yaşam kalitesi puanları arasında negatif yönde, öğrenim süresiyle yaşam kalitesi puanları arasında pozitif yönde ilişki bulundu.Sonuç: Diyabet hastalarının yaşam kalitesi puanları genel olarak kontrol grubundan düşüktür. Diyabetli bireylerde çok sayıda tıbbi ve sosyal faktör yaşam kalitesini etkilemektedir. Diyabet hastalarının yaşam kalitesini iyileştirebilmek için, tıbbi ve sosyal önlemleri içeren düzenlemeler yapılmalıdır.
