The objective of this study was to determine relationship between xerostomia and quality of life of HIV person's living in prison.
an observational study using cross sectional design was done among 68 HIV AIDS person in prison in Jakarta, but only 54 could be analyzed because of incomplete data. We used the xerostomia inventory questionnaire to assess xerostomia, and for salivary flow rate was measured by the spitting method without stimulation. Quality of life was assessed using questionnaire of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14).
Quality of life of HIV AIDS patient, only 55.6% was good. There was a significant relationship between xerostomia and quality of life with Prevalence Ratio 3.16. From 11 questions regarding xerostomia there were 4 questions that were significantly related to quality of life ( < 0.05), namely dry mouth when eating, need water when swallowing food, dry eyes, dry nose. In conclusion many HIV AIDS patient experienced xerostomia which affects their quality of life.
Xerostomia was a risk factor of having low quality of life, it showed on Prevalence ratio in most of items of OHIP.
本研究的目的是确定监狱中感染艾滋病毒者的口干症与生活质量之间的关系。
在雅加达监狱的68名艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者中进行了一项采用横断面设计的观察性研究,但由于数据不完整,仅有54名患者可供分析。我们使用口干症量表问卷评估口干症,唾液流速通过无刺激的吐唾法测量。生活质量使用口腔健康影响程度量表(OHIP-14)问卷进行评估。
艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者的生活质量,只有55.6%良好。口干症与生活质量之间存在显著关系,患病率比值为3.16。在关于口干症的11个问题中,有4个问题与生活质量显著相关(P<0.05),即进食时口干、吞咽食物时需要喝水、眼睛干涩、鼻子干燥。总之,许多艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者经历了口干症,这影响了他们的生活质量。
口干症是生活质量低下的一个危险因素,在OHIP的大多数项目中患病率比值都有所体现。
