Peripheral nerve damage is a very important factor in patients' quality of life and functionality for various reasons. We aimed to compare the functionality level, disability and quality of life in subjects with peripheral nerve repair in the upper extremity.
This cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with nerve injuries in 2019. Among those patients, Eighty-five were selected as the sample. The instruments used in this study included the health-related quality of life standard questionnaire (SF-36), and the disability of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire (DASH-38). Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22 and one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests.
Results of the Kruskal-Wallis test showed that the disability score in the groups of patients was not significant. In addition, according to the results of the one-way ANOVA test, the quality of life score was not significant among the patient groups.
Considering that peripheral nerve damage has a significant impact on patients' quality of life and functionality, apart from more research on the subject, it is necessary to provide support for patients to improve their quality of life.
由于多种原因,周围神经损伤是影响患者生活质量和功能的一个非常重要的因素。我们旨在比较上肢周围神经修复患者的功能水平、残疾程度和生活质量。
本横断面研究于2019年对神经损伤患者进行。在这些患者中,选取85例作为样本。本研究使用的工具包括健康相关生活质量标准问卷(SF-36)和手臂、肩部和手部残疾问卷(DASH-38)。数据采用SPSS 22软件进行分析,并进行单因素方差分析和Kruskal-Wallis统计检验。
Kruskal-Wallis检验结果显示,患者组的残疾评分无显著性差异。此外,根据单因素方差分析检验结果,患者组间的生活质量评分无显著性差异。
鉴于周围神经损伤对患者的生活质量和功能有重大影响,除了对该主题进行更多研究外,有必要为患者提供支持以改善他们的生活质量。
