背景：有限的研究已经检查了类风湿关节炎患者HRQoL的预测因子。本研究有助于确定HRQoL的预测因素从以前的研究确定的影响因素池目的：本研究探讨了健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL）的成人类风湿关节炎患者及其predictors.Methods：采用描述性相关设计，本研究探讨了HRQoL与疼痛，功能障碍，焦虑，抑郁，服药依从性和社会支持之间的关系。合格的门诊患者（n = 108）是通过他们的主治医生招募的，他们是本研究的共同研究者。知情同意书的分发和问卷管理在教学hub由主要research.Results：HRQoL和所有的研究变量之间存在显着相关性。疼痛、功能障碍和抑郁是HRQL的主要预测因素结论：未来需要采取以缓解疼痛、延迟残疾或改善功能能力和减少抑郁症状为重点的循证干预措施来提高类风湿关节炎患者的HRQL。(c)2015爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Background: Limited studies have examined the predictors of HRQoL among patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This study helped to ascertain the predictors of HRQoL from the pool of influencing factors identified by previous studies.Aim: This study investigated the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis and its predictors.Methods: Using a descriptive correlational design, this study explored the relationship between HRQoL and pain, functional disability, anxiety, depression, medication adherence and social support. Eligible outpatients (n = 108) were recruited via their attending doctors who were co-investigators of this study. Informed consent forms were distributed and questionnaires administered in a teaching hub by the main researcher.Results: Significant correlations were found between HRQoL and all of the study variables. Pain, functional disability and depression were main predictors of HRQoLConclusions: Future evidence-based interventions focusing on pain relief, delaying disability or improving functional ability and reducing depressive symptoms are required to enhance the HRQoL of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
