To investigate the influence of type-D personality on quality of life (QoL) in patients with primary brain tumours.
We performed descriptive cross-sectional study between July 2018 and March 2019. A convenience sample of 293 patients was recruited from an outpatient neurosurgery clinic.
Type-D personality was identified in 34.1% of subjects. Type-D patients had poorer QoL and experienced more severe symptoms and interference with life. Poor QoL was associated with lower education, no spouse and lower family income. Symptoms were the most significant factor affecting QoL, followed by type-D personality, income and education.
Symptoms, type-D personality and demographic factors should be considered when assessing QoL in patients with primary brain tumours. Interventions that reflect these characteristics, including type-D personality, may help improve QoL for patients with primary brain tumours.
探讨 D 型人格对原发性脑肿瘤患者生活质量（QoL）的影响。
我们于 2018 年 7 月至 2019 年 3 月期间进行了描述性的横断面研究。从神经外科门诊便利地招募了 293 名患者作为研究对象。
34.1%的研究对象被确定为 D 型人格。D 型患者的生活质量较差，经历了更严重的症状和对生活的干扰。生活质量较差与教育程度较低、无配偶和家庭收入较低有关。症状是影响生活质量的最重要因素，其次是 D 型人格、收入和教育。
在评估原发性脑肿瘤患者的生活质量时，应考虑症状、D 型人格和人口统计学因素。反映这些特征的干预措施，包括 D 型人格，可能有助于改善原发性脑肿瘤患者的生活质量。
