to compare the quality of life of patients with chronic venous disease with and without ulcer and to identify the most affected aspects.
cross-sectional study with a sample of 204 patients with chronic venous disease. The quality of life was assessed with the help of the SF-36 questionnaire. To compare the scores between the groups, the Mann-Whitney test was used, considering a statistically significant difference when p<0.05.
the quality of life score of patients with ulcer was lower when compared to that of patients without ulcer, in all domains and dimensions of the SF-36, particularly in the domains physical aspect and functional capacity, with very low scores.
all aspects of quality of life were more compromised in people with ulcers. These findings can contribute towards a better understanding of the effects of chronic venous disease on the quality of life and towards a better orientation of therapeutic interventions in this population.
比较患有和未患有溃疡的慢性静脉疾病患者的生活质量,并确定受影响最大的方面。
对204例慢性静脉疾病患者进行横断面研究。借助SF - 36问卷评估生活质量。为比较组间得分,采用曼 - 惠特尼检验,当p<0.05时认为差异有统计学意义。
在SF - 36的所有领域和维度中,有溃疡患者的生活质量得分低于无溃疡患者,特别是在身体方面和功能能力领域,得分非常低。
溃疡患者生活质量的各个方面受到的影响更大。这些发现有助于更好地理解慢性静脉疾病对生活质量的影响,并为该人群的治疗干预提供更好的指导。
