安徽省艾滋病病毒感染儿童的生活质量评价

目的用“儿科健康相关生活质量普适性核心量表4.0”评价安徽省儿童艾滋病病毒感染者/病人（简称艾滋病儿童）的生活质量。方法采用普查方法,对安徽省所有艾滋病儿童及其监护人进行问卷调查。结果共调查艾滋病儿童60人,平均年龄（10.23±3.25）岁;男性32人（53.3%）;艾滋病病人48人（80.0%）。大多数艾滋病儿童认为自己的身体较好或一般,近四成的孩子在最近两周内生过病,两周患病率为38.3%。艾滋病儿童的生理、情感、社会和角色功能的得分分别是75.2、85.0、77.6和70.8分;后三项构成心理领域,平均为78.5分;生活质量总平均为77.8分。与一般儿童相比,除情感功能外,艾滋病儿童在各方面得分均较低,且差异具有统计学意义。儿童艾滋病病毒感染者与儿童艾滋病病人相比,生理功能上两组儿童差异有统计学意义;而在其他方面、整个心理领域以及总体得分等指标上,两组儿童差异无统计学意义。艾滋病儿童生理功能同年龄、家庭经济状况和儿童的身体状况有关联关系;社会功能与家庭经济状况和儿童的身体状况有关联关系;心理领域同家庭经济状况有关联关系;生活质量总分同家庭经济状况和儿童的身体状况有关联关系。结论安徽省儿童艾滋病病毒感染者/病人的生活质量受到严重影响,亟需干预措施改善生活质量。
