Orthopedic surgeries can rehabilitate injuries and at the same time improve the patients' quality of life. The study aimed to assess patients' health-related quality of life (HRQOL) six months after an orthopedic surgery with implant placement.
A cross-sectional study with the use of a structured questionnaire among 103 patients was conducted. The 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) questionnaire was used to evaluate patients' quality of life.
According to the findings of the multivariate linear regression analysis, low age, marital status (married in comparison to unmarried/ divorcees/widows), reduced intensity of the pain, and low educational attainment were associated with a better quality of life. Furthermore, the patients who were living with another person and the patients who underwent surgery on a part of the body other than the hip presented better quality of life. The results of the multivariate analysis explained 33%-67% of the variance of the SF-36 HRQOL.
Measuring quality of life is a valuable asset that helps to reveal the frail patient groups, in which health professionals will prioritize their care and the state in turn will design primary care services to meet their needs after discharge from the hospital.
骨科手术可以修复损伤，同时提高患者的生活质量。本研究旨在评估骨科植入手术后六个月患者的健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）。
对103例患者进行了一项使用结构化问卷的横断面研究。采用36项简短问卷调查（SF-36）来评估患者的生活质量。
根据多元线性回归分析结果，年龄小、婚姻状况（已婚与未婚/离异/丧偶相比）、疼痛强度降低和教育程度低与更好的生活质量相关。此外，与他人同住的患者以及在臀部以外身体部位接受手术的患者生活质量更好。多元分析结果解释了SF-36 HRQOL方差的33%-67%。
测量生活质量是一项有价值的资产，有助于揭示脆弱的患者群体，医疗专业人员将在其中优先提供护理，国家也将相应地设计初级保健服务，以满足他们出院后的需求。
