Abstract

Spinal cord injury is an important cause of disability which affects all aspects of life of the patients. It causes serious problems on quality of life, self perception and life satisfaction of the patients. This study was designed to investigate the subjective well being and the predictors of subjective well being of traumatic, complete (ASIA-A) spinal cord injured patients. Patients with complete traumatic spinal cord injury who are older than 18 years of age and had their injury more than 2 years ago were included in the present study. Fifty-two male (28.5 ± 8.7 years) and 8 female (32.2 ± 4.6 years) SCI patients were included and were assessed by functional independence measure (FIM), SF-36 and Craig hospital assessment and reporting technique (CHART). We found that the life satisfaction of patients were well correlated with social functions (p=0,01), physical functions, role emotional (p=0,003) and mental components summary (p=0,007) subsclaes of SF-36, FIM (p=0,049) and occupation (p=0,007) subscale of CHART. Although this study seems trying to shed a light on the life satisfaction of patients with complete SCI, we think that further research conducted with a larger patient population is needed to obtain more information about the life satisfaction of spinal cord injured patients in general.

Özet

Omurilik yaralanması, bireyin hayatının tüm boyutlarını etkileyen önemli bir sakatlık nedenidir. Hayat kalitesi, benlik algısı ve hayat memnuniyeti üzerinde önemli etkileri vardır. Bu çalışma, ülkemiz şartları göz önüne alındığında travmatik komplet (ASIA-A) omurilik yaralı bireylerin hayat memnuniyetlerini ve hayat memnuniyetleri üzerindeki etken faktörleri araştırmak amacıyla yapıldı. Çalışmaya, yaralanma tarihinden itibaren 2 yıl ve daha fazla süre geçmiş olan, 18 yaşının üzerinde ve travmatik komplet (ASIA-A) spinal kord yaralanması bulunan 52 erkek (28.5 ± 8.7) ve 8 kadın (32.2 ± 4.6) hasta dahil edildi. Hastalar Fonksiyonel Bağımsızlık Ölçeği (FBÖ), SF-36 ve Craig Engellilik Değerlendirme ve Raporlama Tekniği (CHART) ile değerlendirildi. Bu değerlendirme sonucunda; hastaların hayat memnuniyetinin, Kısa Form 36 (SF-36)’nın sosyal fonksiyon (p=0,01), fiziksel fonksiyon (p=0,03), emosyonel rol (p=0,003) ve mental komponentlerin özeti (p=0,007) alt testleri, FBÖ (p=0,049) ve CHART’ın iş (p=0,007) alt testleri ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyon gösterdiği tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak; bu çalışma rehabilitasyon ekibinin temel misyonu olan hayat memnuniyeti ve travmatik spinal kord yaralı hastalardaki göstergelerine ışık tutmaktadır. Ancak daha çok sayıda ve inkompletleri de içerecek şekilde geniş gruplar ile çalışmak spinal kord yaralı hastaların hayat memnuniyetleri hakkında daha iyi bilgi edinilmesini sağlayacaktır.
