Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the factors that affect the quality of life (QoL) among persons with intellectual and physical disabilities. Materials and Methods: This study is descriptive. The study involved 157 persons with intellectual or physical disabilities who were 18 years of age or over in Kirklareli, a province in northwestern Turkey. The study data were collected Turkish versions of World Health Organization (WHO) Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) and Turkish versions of WHO Quality of Life Disability Module (WHOQOL-DIS-TR). Results: According to the results of the multivariate linear regression analysis, high education level, living in an urban area, living alone, good-moderate perceived income, good-moderate health level and presence of a physical disability led to an increase in the WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-DIS module scores obtained by the people with disabilities whereas increasing age led to a decrease in their WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-DIS module scores. Conclusion: People with intellectual disabilities obtained lower scores from the psychological health and social relationships domains of the WHOQOL-BREF, and from the WHOQOL-DIS disability module and its independence module than did people with physical disabilities, and that low education level, living in a rural area, poor income and poor perceived health were among the changeable risk factors leading to poor QoL.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada zihinsel ve fiziksel engelli bireylerin yaşam kalitesini etkileyen faktörleri belirlemeyi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma Türkiye'nin kuzeybatısındaki Kırklareli'nde 18 yaş ve üstü zihinsel veya fiziksel engelli 157 kişiyi ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışma verileri Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Yaşam Kalitesi Kısa Versiyonu’nun (WHOQOL-BREF) engelliler için uyarlanmış sürümü ve DSÖ Engellilerde Yaşam Kalitesi Modülü (WHOQOL-DIS-TR) ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Çok değişkenli lineer regresyon analizi sonuçlarına göre engellilerde WHOQOL-BREF ve WHOQOL-DIS modül skorlarındaki artışın yüksek eğitim düzeyi, kentsel alanda yaşama, yalnız yaşama, iyi-orta düzeyde algılanan gelir, iyi-orta düzeyde sağlık düzeyi ve fiziksel engele sahip olma ile, WHOQOL-BREF ve WHOQOL-DIS modül skorlarındaki azalışın ise artan yaşla ilişkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Zihinsel engellilerin WHOQOL-BREF psikolojik ve sosyal ilişkiler boyutu, WHOQOL-DIS engelli modülü ve bağımsızlık modül skorlarının fiziksel engelli bireylere göre düşük olduğu ve düşük eğitim düzeyi, kırsal alanda yaşama, kötü gelir ve sağlık algısının kötü yaşam kalitesi için değiştirilebilir risk faktörleri olduğu belirlenmiştir.
