本研究旨在调查胃溃疡患者情绪调节、乐观主义与生活质量之间的关联。
2017年1月至6月期间,在拉合尔的公立医院进行了横断面研究。研究样本由100名年龄在25 - 55岁之间、被诊断为胃溃疡的患者组成,通过非概率目的抽样技术选取。使用人口统计学信息表、2003年约翰和格罗斯编制的情绪调节量表、2002年谢尔和卡弗修订的生活取向测试、1993年恩迪科特编制的生活质量享受与满意度问卷进行数据收集。使用SPSS 21版本进行数据分析。
在总共100名参与者中,41名(41%)为男性,59名(59%)为女性,平均年龄为(M = 44.89,SD = 7.99)。情绪调节、乐观主义与生活质量之间存在显著正相关(p < 0.01)。乐观主义和情绪调节被视为生活质量的显著预测因素(p < 0.01)。在情绪调节(p < 0.01)、乐观主义(p < 0.01)和生活质量(p < 0.01)方面发现了显著的性别差异,男性得分高于女性。单因素方差分析显示,不同年龄组的胃溃疡患者在情绪调节、乐观主义和生活质量方面存在显著差异(p < 0.01)。
