Abstract

Stroke is a chronic and important health problem affecting all aspects of an individual’s life. Neurological impairment resulting from stroke leads to functional disability in patients. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of age, gender, duration of stroke and side of hemiplegia on the quality of life and the correlation between disability indices and the quality of life.Sixty-eight patients followed by the Stroke Policlinic of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department were included in the study. Functional status was evaluated with Brunnstrom Assessment, Functional Independence Measurement (FIM)and Rivermaed Mobility Index (RMI). Nothingham Health Profile (NHP) was used for the evaluation of quality of life. We did not determine any statistically significant difference in the subdivisions of quality of life between male and female patients and right or left hemiplegia patients. We also found that there was no correlation between the duration of stroke and subdivisions of quality of life whereas there was a positive correlation between age and only sleep subdivision of quality of life. A significant negative correlation was observed between Functional Independence Measurement and following subdivisions of Nothingham Health Profile: physical mobility (r= -0.609, p=0.000), social isolation (r= -0.403, p=0.009) and emotional reaction (r= -0.330, p=0.035). There was also a significant negative correlation between Rivermaed Mobility Index and such subdivisions of Nothingham Health Profile as physical mobility (r= -0.509, p=0.001), energy(r=-0.365, p=0.019), and social isolation (r=-0.319, p=0.042) As a result, disability ruins the quality of life in stroke patients. Improving the functional independence of these patients will affect their quality of life positively.

Özet

İnme hayatın tüm alanlarını etkileyen kronik, önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. İnme sonucu oluşan nörolojik yetersizlikler hastalarda önemli fonksiyonel özürlülüğe yol açar. Bu çalışmanın amacı inmeli hastalarda fonksiyonel durumu değerlendiren özürlülük ölçütleri ile yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişkiyi saptamak; yaş, cinsiyet, inme süresi ve etkilenen tarafın yaşam kalitesi üzerindeki etkilerini araştırmaktır.Çalışmaya Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon Anabilim Dalı İnme Polikliniğinde izlenen 68 hasta alındı. Hastaların fonksiyonel özürlülük durumu Brunnstrom evresi, Fonksiyonel Bağımsızlık Ölçütü (FBÖ) skoru ve Rivermaed Mobilite İndeksi (RMİ) ile değerlendirildi. Yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesinde Nothingham Sağlık Profili (NSP) kullanıldı. Çalışma sonunda, kadın, erkek veya sağ, sol taraf tutulumu olan inmeli olgularda yaşam kalitesinin alt skorlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptamadık. İnme süresi ile yaşam kalitesinin alt skorları arasında korelasyon saptamazken, yaş ile sadece yaşam kalitesi uyku alt skoru arasında anlamlı pozitif korelasyon saptadık. FBÖ ile yaşam kalitesi ölçütü NSP’nin fiziksel mobilite (r= -0.609, p=0.000), sosyal izolasyon (r= -0.403, p=0.009) ve emosyonel reaksiyon (r= -0.330, p=0.035) alt bölümleri arasında anlamlı negatif korelasyon saptandı. RMİ ile de NSP’nin fiziksel mobilite (r= -0.509, p=0.001), enerji (r=-0.365, p=0.019), sosyal izolasyon (r=-0.319, p=0.042) alt bölümleri arasında da anlamlı negatif korelasyon saptandı. Sonuç olarak, inmeli hastalarda özürlülük yaşam kalitesini önemli ölçüde bozar ve bu hastaların fonksiyonel bağımsızlıklarının arttırılması yaşam kalitesini olumlu yönde etkileyecektir.
