The primary objective of this study was to assess the quality of life (QoL) in spinal cord injury (SCI) survivors. Secondary objectives were to determine the effects of various sociodemographic and clinical characteristics on QoL. This cross-sectional study included 54 patients with SCI. The Turkish version of the Short-Form-36 Health Survey was used to assess health-related QoL. Functional status was measured with Functional Independence Measure. Higher values were obtained in younger individuals for bodily pain, in paraplegic patients for physical functioning, role-physical, social functioning, and role-emotional. Moreover, it was observed that functional status correlated well with physical functioning, role-physical, social functioning, and role-emotional. Among the complications investigated, bladder incontinence is related to low health-related QoL in most domains. SCI may interfere with some health domains of QoL according to the patient's age, neurologic levels, functional status and presence of complications, mainly bladder incontinence.
本研究的主要目的是评估脊髓损伤（SCI）幸存者的生活质量（QoL）。次要目的是确定各种社会人口统计学和临床特征对生活质量的影响。这项横断面研究纳入了54例脊髓损伤患者。使用简短健康调查问卷（Short-Form-36 Health Survey）的土耳其语版本来评估与健康相关的生活质量。采用功能独立性测量量表（Functional Independence Measure）来测量功能状态。在身体疼痛方面，年轻个体得分较高；在身体功能、角色-身体、社会功能和角色-情感方面，截瘫患者得分较高。此外，还观察到功能状态与身体功能、角色-身体、社会功能和角色-情感密切相关。在所调查的并发症中，膀胱失禁在大多数领域都与健康相关生活质量较低有关。根据患者的年龄、神经平面、功能状态和并发症的存在情况，脊髓损伤可能会干扰生活质量的某些健康领域，主要是膀胱失禁。
