Life satisfaction is a component of the subjective well-being construct. Research consistently suggests that life satisfaction is associated with enhanced social benefits and improved health outcomes. However, its relationship to musculoskeletal health outcomes is underexplored. This study evaluates the life satisfaction of a patient population presenting with musculoskeletal complaints, and the relationship of life satisfaction with other health demographics and behaviours.
The study used a consecutive sampling design. Patients attending the Victoria University Osteopathy Clinic (Melbourne, Australia) were invited to complete the PROMIS® General Life Satisfaction scale (GLSS) along with questions related to health demographics and behaviours.
The GLSS T-score was not significantly different for gender, being born outside of Australia, speaking English at home, or complaint chronicity.
Life satisfaction did not appear to be related to a range of health and demographic variables in the current musculoskeletal pain cohort. The PROMIS® General Life Satisfaction scale could prove useful to explore the relationship between life satisfaction and treatment outcomes for musculoskeletal complaints.
生活满意度是主观幸福感结构的一个组成部分。研究一致表明，生活满意度与增强的社会效益和改善的健康结果有关。然而，它与肌肉骨骼健康结果的关系尚未得到充分探索。本研究评估了患有肌肉骨骼疾病的患者人群的生活满意度，以及生活满意度与其他健康人口统计学和行为的关系。
该研究采用连续抽样设计。邀请在澳大利亚维多利亚大学整骨诊所就诊的患者完成 PROMIS®一般生活满意度量表（GLSS）以及与健康人口统计学和行为相关的问题。
GLSS T 评分在性别、在澳大利亚境外出生、在家说英语或投诉慢性方面没有显著差异。
在当前的肌肉骨骼疼痛队列中，生活满意度似乎与一系列健康和人口统计学变量无关。PROMIS®一般生活满意度量表可用于探索生活满意度与肌肉骨骼疾病治疗结果之间的关系。
