Advanced practice nurses (APNs) are essential primary healthcare providers actively engaged in health promotion, illness prevention, and the management of acute and chronic diseases. The purpose of this study was to measure the quality of life and locus of control (LOC) among three different groups of migraineurs. A retrospective quantitative study was conducted using Ferrans and Powers' (1985) Quality of Life Index and Martin, Holroyd, and Penzien's (1990) Headache Specific Locus of Control questionnaire. The analysis of 79 adult migraineurs indicated that those who received headache education had a higher quality of life and higher external LOC scores than those without the intervention. This study's findings reinforce the notion that disease-specific education is an effective practice intervention. APNs can positively affect the quality of life for migraineurs by providing an educational intervention as part of high-quality, accessible, and cost-effective primary care.
高级执业护士（APNs）是积极参与健康促进、疾病预防以及急慢性疾病管理的重要基层医疗服务提供者。本研究的目的是测量三组不同偏头痛患者的生活质量和控制源（LOC）。采用费兰斯和鲍尔斯（1985年）的生活质量指数以及马丁、霍罗伊德和彭齐恩（1990年）的头痛特异性控制源问卷进行了一项回顾性定量研究。对79名成年偏头痛患者的分析表明，接受头痛教育的患者比未接受干预的患者生活质量更高，外部LOC得分也更高。本研究结果强化了这样一种观念，即针对特定疾病的教育是一种有效的实践干预措施。高级执业护士可以通过提供教育干预作为高质量、可及且具有成本效益的基层医疗服务的一部分，对偏头痛患者的生活质量产生积极影响。
