Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To examine health behaviors and quality of life among disabled people in two provinces of Thailand.

MATERIAL AND METHOD

A cross-sectional study was conducted in 5,352 disabled people selected by multistage cluster sampling from Chiang Mai and Nakhon Ratchasima provinces during April to June 2008. The WHOQOL-BREF-THAI and health promoting behavior scales were used to measure QOL and health behavior.

RESULTS

Among the health promoting behaviors, exercise and health responsibility of the disabled people were mostly at the 'need to improve' level (46.6 and 52.8%), while their nutritional behavior and stress management level were mostly at the 'good' level (80.8 and 43.8%). Overall quality of life was mostly at the 'moderate' level (79.3%). Exercise and stress management were found to have a significant positive relationship with the quality of life at low level (r = 0.18, r = 0.12) at p < 0.01.

CONCLUSION

The results indicated that person who had health promoting behaviors by exercise and appropriate stress management had a good QOL. Encouraging of family and health authority support in exercise and stress management may help them having a good QOL.

摘要

目的

研究泰国两个省份残疾人的健康行为和生活质量。

材料与方法

2008年4月至6月期间，采用多阶段整群抽样法从清迈府和呵叻府选取5352名残疾人进行横断面研究。使用世界卫生组织生活质量简表-泰文版和健康促进行为量表来测量生活质量和健康行为。

结果

在健康促进行为方面，残疾人的运动和健康责任大多处于“需要改善”水平（分别为46.6%和52.8%），而他们的营养行为和压力管理水平大多处于“良好”水平（分别为80.8%和43.8%）。总体生活质量大多处于“中等”水平（79.3%）。运动和压力管理与低水平的生活质量呈显著正相关（r = 0.18，r = 0.12），p < 0.01。
