Health-related quality of life is a subjective phenomenon shaped by personal attributes. Research has demonstrated links between temperament and health outcomes. Because temperament is relatively stable, it could function as a moderator of quality of life. This study examined relationships among temperament disposition and satisfaction with health status.
The model developed by Sprangers and Schwartz was used to develop a secondary analysis of data collected in a cross-sectional, correlational study with stepwise linear regression analysis. Instruments used were MPQ (dispositions) and AMIS2 (health satisfactions).
Two rheumatology private practices and 3 rheumatology clinics.
One hundred fifty-three persons diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (mean age = 55.4).
Scores reflecting Negative Affectivity (intrapersonal orientation and perception) demonstrated significant positive correlation (r = .26-.58) with all health domain satisfaction scores (P < .001). Negative Affectivity and Positive Affectivity (interpersonal orientation) jointly predicted 8.2%-37.8% of score variance.
Temperament dispositions are associated with health-related satisfaction.
Assessment of temperament can facilitate early identification of potential problems in the 3 quality of life domains (meaningfulness, manageability), and comprehensibility, and is useful for selecting or designing tailored interventions.
与健康相关的生活质量是一种由个人特质塑造的主观现象。研究表明气质与健康结果之间存在联系。由于气质相对稳定，它可能作为生活质量的调节因素。本研究考察了气质倾向与健康状况满意度之间的关系。
采用斯普朗格斯和施瓦茨开发的模型，对横断面相关研究中收集的数据进行二次分析，并进行逐步线性回归分析。使用的工具是MPQ（气质倾向）和AMIS2（健康满意度）。
两家私人风湿病诊所和三家风湿病门诊。
153名被诊断为类风湿性关节炎的患者（平均年龄=55.4岁）。
反映消极情感性（个人内取向和感知）的得分与所有健康领域满意度得分呈显著正相关（r = 0.26 - 0.58）（P < 0.001）。消极情感性和积极情感性（人际取向）共同预测了得分方差的8.2% - 37.8%。
气质倾向与健康相关满意度有关。
气质评估有助于早期识别生活质量三个领域（意义性、可管理性和可理解性）中的潜在问题，并且对于选择或设计量身定制的干预措施很有用。
