This paper deals with quality of life (QoL), mental well-being (WB), anxiousness, and stress vulnerability in women with tetany syndrome (TS) in comparison with the population without the syndrome. The aim is to investigate the individual or combined effects of anxiousness, stress vulnerability, and tetany syndrome diagnosis on quality of life and well-being in women. : The research sample was composed of 144 female (in terms of sex) respondents with a diagnosis of tetany syndrome and 123 females without the syndrome (comparative group). The questionnaire battery was used for data collection (WHOQoL-BREF, Warwick-Edinburgh mental well-being scale, STAI (X-2), and Stress Vulnerability Scale). In processing, comparisons, correlations, and MANCOVA analyses were used. : The group with tetany syndrome showed significantly lower levels of quality of life (all domains) and well-being and significantly higher anxiousness compared to the group without the syndrome. In vulnerability to stress, a significant difference between groups was not shown. Multivariate testing showed a small interaction effect of tetany syndrome, anxiousness, and stress vulnerability on well-being and quality of life, while anxiousness still had the largest independent effect. : Lifestyle aspects seem to be a possible intervening factor that, in interaction with anxiety, contributes to a worse quality of life and well-being in individuals with tetany syndrome. The results contribute to the perception of psychological intervention, in terms of stress management and support for a healthy lifestyle, as important in addition to mineral supplementation or medication treatment.
本文探讨了手足搐搦综合征(TS)女性的生活质量(QoL)、心理健康(WB)、焦虑和压力易感性,并与无该综合征的人群进行了比较。目的是研究焦虑、压力易感性和手足搐搦综合征诊断对女性生活质量和幸福感的个体或综合影响。研究样本由144名被诊断为手足搐搦综合征的女性受访者(按性别)和123名无该综合征的女性(对照组)组成。使用问卷组进行数据收集(世界卫生组织生活质量简表、沃里克 - 爱丁堡心理健康量表、状态 - 特质焦虑量表(X - 2)和压力易感性量表)。在数据处理中,使用了比较、相关性和多变量协方差分析。与无综合征组相比,手足搐搦综合征组的生活质量(所有领域)和幸福感水平显著较低,焦虑程度显著较高。在压力易感性方面,两组之间未显示出显著差异。多变量测试表明,手足搐搦综合征、焦虑和压力易感性对幸福感和生活质量有较小的交互作用,而焦虑仍然具有最大的独立影响。生活方式方面似乎是一个可能的干预因素,与焦虑相互作用,导致手足搐搦综合征患者的生活质量和幸福感更差。这些结果有助于认识到,除了补充矿物质或药物治疗外,心理干预在压力管理和支持健康生活方式方面也很重要。
