To determine health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measured with the 36-item Short-Form (SF-36) questionnaire in women workers in the fishing industry, compared with norm-based values in the reference population and other similar samples of persons with musculoskeletal disorders.
A cross-sectional study was performed to measure HRQoL in 917 shellfish gatherers. Women taking part in a physiotherapy workshop were invited to participate. We used a self-administered questionnaire, including questions on sociodemographic variables, lifestyle, comorbidity, the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, and HRQoL. For the SF-36 raw scores, norm-based scores and z-scores were calculated.
The mean age of participants was 50.6 years (standard deviation: 8.8). In all dimensions of the SF-36, values in the sample were lower than in the general reference population. The greatest differences were in younger people. The most affected dimensions were bodily pain, vitality and general health. Physical health was more affected than mental health.
HRQoL, especially physical components, was worse in women shellfish gatherers than in the general population and other population samples.
使用36项简明健康调查问卷（SF-36）测定渔业女工的健康相关生活质量（HRQoL），并与参考人群中的基于常模的值以及其他患有肌肉骨骼疾病的类似人群样本进行比较。
进行了一项横断面研究，以测量917名贝类采集女工的HRQoL。邀请参加物理治疗工作坊的女性参与。我们使用了一份自填式问卷，包括有关社会人口统计学变量、生活方式、合并症、肌肉骨骼疾病患病率和HRQoL的问题。对于SF-36原始分数，计算了基于常模的分数和z分数。
参与者的平均年龄为50.6岁（标准差：8.8）。在SF-36的所有维度中，样本中的值均低于一般参考人群。差异最大的是年轻人。受影响最大的维度是身体疼痛、活力和总体健康。身体健康比心理健康受影响更大。
贝类采集女工的HRQoL，尤其是身体方面，比一般人群和其他人群样本更差。
