The quality of life (QoL) is now recognised as a central indicator of the effectiveness of interventions especially in patients after myocardial infarction (MI). The QoL may be important predict poor outcomes in cardiac patients.The present work aims to increase knowledge of the level of QoL in patients after MI. Moreover, the paper analyses the QoL in relation to sociodemographic factors and the degree of functioning in chronic disease. The study was conducted among 231 patients who were hospitalized due to MI within the period of June 2021 to June 2022 in the Hospital in Racibórz in Poland. The WHO Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Chronic Disease Functioning Scale were used. The analysis showed a statistically significant correlation (coefficient value 0.5 <|r/rho|≤ 0.7) between general functioning in chronic disease and the average QoL (rho = 0.56; p < 0.001)and somatic QoL levels(rho = 0.52; p < 0.001), as well as a moderately strong positive correlation with the QoL level on the psychological domain (rho = 0.50; p < 0.001), social domain(rho = 0.48; p < 0.001) and environmental domain (rho = 0.43; p < 0.001). The results of this study suggested that healthcare workers adopts appropriate policies for the implementation of quality of life, which can reduce the number of repetitive referrals to the hospital and costs imposed on the health system.
生活质量（QoL）现在被认为是干预措施有效性的一个核心指标，特别是在心肌梗死（MI）后的患者中。生活质量可能是预测心脏患者不良结局的重要因素。本研究旨在提高人们对 MI 后患者生活质量水平的认识。此外，本文还分析了生活质量与社会人口因素和慢性病功能程度的关系。该研究在波兰拉齐博尔兹医院于 2021 年 6 月至 2022 年 6 月期间因 MI 住院的 231 名患者中进行。使用了世界卫生组织生活质量问卷和慢性病功能量表。分析表明，慢性病一般功能与平均生活质量（rho=0.56;p<0.001）和躯体生活质量水平（rho=0.52;p<0.001）之间存在统计学上显著的相关性（系数值 0.5<|r/rho|≤0.7），以及与心理领域（rho=0.50;p<0.001）、社会领域（rho=0.48;p<0.001）和环境领域（rho=0.43;p<0.001）的生活质量水平呈中度强正相关。这项研究的结果表明，医疗保健工作者应采取适当的政策来实施生活质量，这可以减少重复向医院转诊的次数和对卫生系统造成的负担。
