OBJECTIVES
To evaluate changes in the quality of life of patients with chronic wounds.
METHODS
Quantitative research with a cross-sectional design performed with 100 patients with chronic wounds from a university hospital and a Basic Health Unit in southern Brazil. The mean values of the domains of the instruments Wound Quality of Life (Wound-QoL) and Freiburg Life Quality Assessment Wound were compared with sociodemographic variables of age, sex and education.
RESULTS
The average age of the participants was 60.98 years old; 41% (n = 41) had diabetic ulcers and 83% (n = 83) treated the wounds for more than 24 months. The total quality of life value was below the mean with 37.50/100 with (Wound-QoL) and 44.20/100 with (FLQA-Wk). The variables of gender, and educational level were not correlated with either of the two instruments used to assess the quality of life. The age variable was significantly correlated with the satisfaction item of the FLQA-Wk.
CONCLUSIONS
The quality of life of patients with chronic wounds was considered poor. The age variable was correlated with the satisfaction domain, showing that the older the age, the lower the satisfaction. The use of instruments to evaluate the quality of life of patients with chronic wounds may help an effective treatment plan.
目的
评估慢性伤口患者生活质量的变化。
方法
这是一项在巴西南部一所大学医院和一个基础卫生单位进行的横断面设计的定量研究，共纳入了 100 名慢性伤口患者。使用伤口生活质量量表（Wound-QoL）和弗莱堡生活质量评估伤口量表（FLQA-Wk）评估患者的生活质量，并比较这些工具的各个领域的平均值与患者的年龄、性别和教育等社会人口学变量。
结果
参与者的平均年龄为 60.98 岁；41%（n=41）患有糖尿病溃疡，83%（n=83）的患者治疗伤口的时间超过 24 个月。总生活质量值低于平均值，Wound-QoL 为 37.50/100，FLQA-Wk 为 44.20/100。性别和教育水平这两个变量与两种生活质量评估工具均无相关性。年龄变量与 FLQA-Wk 的满意度项目显著相关。
结论
慢性伤口患者的生活质量较差。年龄变量与满意度相关，表明年龄越大，满意度越低。使用评估慢性伤口患者生活质量的工具可以帮助制定有效的治疗计划。
