Dysfunctional myocardium may be viable in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Although viable but dyssynergic myocardium may be recognized a posteriori by the occurrence of functional recovery, prospective identification of the actual myocardial state is more important for optimal therapeutic management.Echocardiography during pharmacological interventions is a useful clinical tool, as changes in regional myocardial thickening may be continuously monitored. Stunned myocardium exhibits contractile dysfunction after an ischemic episode despite normalized or near normalized myocardial flow, but stunned myocardium retains contractile reserve. It may be identified by improvement in contractility during a low dose dobutamine infusion in segments showing a mismatch between normal perfusion and reduced contractility. In regions of viable but stunned myocardium corresponding to an artery with reduced coronary flow reserve, contractility may improve at low dose dobutamine infusion and may later deteriorate at high dose, indicating the presence of jeopardized myocardium. Ischemia at a distance observed with dobutamine indicates the presence of multivessel coronary artery disease. These informations are useful for clinical decision making. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: In Denmark, opioids have been used liberally for many years in the treatment of non-malignant pain, but long-term consequences as tolerance and influence on health related quality of life remain unknown. AIM: Adherence to medical treatment, opioid dose escalation, health related quality of life, anxiety, depression, coping strategies and health care utilization were evaluated in chronic pain patients 10 years after treatment in a multidisciplinary pain centre. METHODS: Information was gathered from medical records, postal questionnaires and a central hospital register. RESULTS: Opioid dose escalation occurred in only a few patients. Increase and decrease in opioid dose were almost equally frequent. Sixty percent of those discharged on long acting opioids were still on that treatment at follow-up. Twenty-eight percent of the patients initiated opioid treatment after discharge from the pain centre. Occupational status was identified as a determining factor for future opioid use. Opioid users had a lower health related quality of life, higher occurrence of depression and more frequent use of coping strategies like 'Catastrophizing' and 'Hoping and Praying'. Adjuvant analgesics were highly discontinued. Multidisciplinary pain treatment reduced the number of hospital admissions and in-hospital days. CONCLUSION: We recommend that future research on opioid treatment does not only focus on biological issues. The effect of opioids needs to be viewed in a much more complex context where consequences like health related quality of life, depression and the role of various coping strategies are included. 相似文献

Relationship between dialysis adequacy and quality of life in long-term peritoneal dialysis patients. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare quality of life (QOL) between peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with adequate and inadequate total solute clearance (TSC). We also tried to determine the relationship between QOL and TSC. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study design was used in which QOL was evaluated and compared between PD patients with adequate and inadequate TSC. SETTING: The PD unit of a university teaching hospital. PATIENTS: Sixty-seven patients were recruited, 38 on continuous ambulatory PD and 29 on continuous cyclerassisted PD. METHODS: Patients were divided into adequate and inadequate groups, based on the results of either total urea clearance (Kt/Vurea) or total creatinine clearance (weekly CCr). The demographic data, dialysis variables, and clinical parameters of these patients were all collected. QOL was evaluated using the SF-36 questionnaire, which contains eight domains and is a comprehensive and validated instrument for QOL evaluation. QOL of patients in adequate and inadequate groups was compared. The relationship between QOL and TSC was also examined. RESULTS: Among patients grouped by Kt/Vurea, patients in the adequate group had significantly higher scores in two domains of the SF-36, that is, physical and emotional role functioning, than did those in the inadequate group. The total SF-36 scores were positively correlated with Kt/Vurea when all patients were pooled together. However, among patients grouped by weekly CCr, there was no significant difference in any of the eight domains of the SF-36 between patients in the adequate and inadequate groups. No correlation was found between the total SF-36 scores and weekly CCr. CONCLUSION: Our study had two important findings: First, PD patients with adequate total solute clearance, based on Kt/Vurea and not on weekly CCr, had a better QOL. Second, Kt/Vurea is better correlated with QOL than weekly CCr. These findings suggest that Kt/Vurea is a better parameter for the clinical evaluation of total solute clearance from the viewpoint of QOL. 相似文献

The present study is a 5-year follow-up of patients with schizophrenia who were in-patients for more than 3 months in 1993. In all, 19 patients fulfilled the criteria and were interviewed 6 months after their discharge. Seventeen of them also participated in a follow-up 5 years later. Their needs were independently rated by themselves and by their key workers according to the Camberwell Assessment of Need (CAN, research version 3.0). The interview with the patients also included quality of life assessed by the Quality of Life Scale (QLS-100). The results from CAN showed a difference when using a cut-off point for higher vs. lower problem at 10 needs. Using this cut-off point, five patients at the baseline and one at the follow-up had higher problems. The need ranking with key workers showed a correlation of rho = 0.68 at the baseline and rho = 0.74 at the follow-up. QLS-100 showed that the patient's total number of unsatisfied items were significantly higher (p = 0.01) at the baseline than at the follow-up. At the follow-up, full insight into their illness was shown by most of the patients. There are several possible explanations associated with the increased quality of life, e.g. less unsatisfied items among some patients and greater autonomy at the follow-up. 相似文献

Catastrophizing and health-related quality of life: a 6-year follow-up of patients with chronic low back pain. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Ragnhild Raak Karin Wikblad Anders Raak Marianne Carlsson Lis Karin Wahren 《Rehabilitation nursing》2002,27(3):110-6; discussion 117
A pain rehabilitation model that focused on emotions was implemented to influence catastrophizing by, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) for, persons with chronic low back pain. Twelve individuals, 7 men and 5 women (aged 33 to 57 years), all with long-term pain despite treatment, were included in the study and a single case research experimental design (SCRED) was used to follow the patterns of coping with pain for 6 years. The HRQL was measured before and 6 years after the intervention. Coping strategies and HRQL were evaluated with the Coping Strategy Questionnaire (CSQ) and the SF-36, respectively. The evaluation of pain coping strategies after 3 years found decreased catastrophizing, a decrease that had continued 3 years later. HRQL showed significantly improved mental health and impaired physical capacity at the 6-year follow-up. Changes in catastrophizing or in HRQL did not appear to influence self-scored bodily pain. Altered catastrophizing appeared to be a long-term process. This research indicates the need for rehabilitation programs to assess and evaluate patients' pain and their need for improved quality of life, rather than focusing only on the elimination of pain. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess normalization in the lives of liver transplant patients and the impact of preoperative expectations on postoperative quality of life (QOL). DESIGN: A semistructured interview, 2 QOL questionnaires, and chart reviews of medical histories. SETTING: Internal medicine department at Innsbruck university hospital, Austria. PARTICIPANTS: Fifty-five patients (32 men, 23 women) with liver transplants. INTERVENTIONS: The Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General. RESULTS: Patients' preoperative expectations of a normal life style posttransplantation were predominantly optimistic (60%), but postoperatively only 40% thought that their expectations had been realized. The patients' SIP values showed significant impairments in nearly every area of life when compared with the values of a healthy control group. Only "complications during the hospitalized phase" had a statistically significant impact among the sociodemographic and clinical parameters on postoperative QOL. The lowest QOL scores were found among patients whose expectations of a return to normal life style had not been realized. CONCLUSION: Unmet life-style expectations after liver transplantation may lead to increased stress, which affects QOL long term. This finding is of clinical relevance; therapeutic measures, particularly professional pretransplant counseling, are indicated. 相似文献

Secondary prevention is an important component of a structured rehabilitation programme following a cardiac event. Comprehensive programmes have been developed in many European countries, the vast majority of which are hospital based. In Sweden, all patients with cardiac disease are also given the opportunity to participate in secondary prevention activities arranged by the National Association for Heart and Lung Patients [The Heart & Lung School (HL)]. The aim of this 3-year longitudinal study was to compare persons who attended the HL after a cardiac event and those who declined participation, with regard to health aspects, life situation, social network and support, clinical data, rehospitalisation and mortality. Totally 220 patients were included in the study. The patients were asked to fill in a questionnaire on four occasions, in addition to visiting a health care center for physical examination. After 3 years, 160 persons were still participating, 35 of whom attended the HL. The results show that persons who participated in the HL exercised more regularly, smoked less and had a denser network as well as more social support from nonfamily members than the comparison groups. This study contributes to increased knowledge among healthcare professionals, politicians and decision makers about peer support groups as a support strategy after a cardiac event. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Quality of life as an outcome variable has become an important measure in clinical research. This study is the second part of a prospective assessment of the quality of life outcome, in a 5-year follow-up of patients who underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication or Toupet fundoplication. Data from a 1-year follow-up have been previously published (part I). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Using the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index (GIQLI), the quality of life data of 169 consecutive patients who had undergone a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF; n = 104) or a laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication (LTF; n = 65), were evaluated 3 years and 5 years postoperatively. Six patients out of the initial study group (n = 175), including three from each group, were excluded from the main analysis because they had undergone laparoscopic re-fundoplication during the 1-year follow-up. Data from patients with repeat surgery have been analysed separately. In addition to administering the GIQLI, we evaluated patient satisfaction with surgery, possible surgical side effects or recurrent disease-related symptoms, the use of antireflux medication, and also surgical interventions in relation to initial antireflux surgery. In those patients, who were willing (n = 111) we also performed esophageal manometry and 24-hour pH monitoring 5 years postoperatively. RESULTS: At 3 years and 5 years postoperatively, the analysis of quality of life data showed that the GIQLI score remained stable in comparison with the 1-year follow-up data, with mean scores of 121 +/- 8.7 points in the LNF-group and 119.8 +/- 9 points in the LTF-group, at 5 years after surgery. Laparoscopic re-fundoplication was necessary in four patients due to a "slipping" Nissen (LNF group n = 1) or recurrent symptoms (LTF group, n = 3). In two patients in the LTF group herniation of a trocar incision was found. No patient suffered from severe surgical side effects. Patient satisfaction with surgery was rated as "excellent" or "good" in 97.9 % of patients. There were no significant differences between the groups concerning these data. The results of esophageal manometry and 24-hour pH monitoring also remained stable and showed normal values in all but two patients (in the LTF group), who suffered from mild and infrequent symptoms of recurrent heartburn without endoscopic signs of esophagitis. The outcome in patients who underwent laparoscopic re-fundoplication is comparable to the outcomes for those with a successful primary intervention. CONCLUSIONS: Both Nissen and Toupet laparoscopic fundoplication can significantly improve patients' quality of life during the 5 years following surgical intervention. Quality of life scores for both surgical groups were almost equal and postoperative outcomes were comparable to values in healthy controls. Patient satisfaction with surgical treatment was very high, even though repeat laparoscopic surgery was necessary in some cases. Patients who had a repeat procedure experienced nearly identical outcomes. 相似文献

Purpose: To evaluate whether long-term neck and upper body exercises conducted in economical community-based outpatient clinic and home-based settings could improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL)for individuals affected by chronic neck pain. The effect of baseline HRQoL and neck pain values on training adherence was also studied. Methods: Subjects (n?=?101, 91 women/10 men, mean age 41.0?±?9.5 years) with chronic non-specific neck pain were randomized to a combined strength-training and stretching-exercise group (CSSG, n?=?49) or to a stretching exercise group (SG, n?=?52). HRQoL was assessed at baseline and after 12 months using the RAND-36 questionnaire. Comparisons between groups were performed using bootstrap-type analysis of covariance. The impact of HRQoL and neck pain values on training adherence, determined using participants' exercise logs, was studied using generalized estimating equations. Results: CSSG showed significant improvements in five and SG in four of eight of the HRQoL dimensions. There were no significant differences between the groups. Adherence to long-term training was only slightly affected by baseline-assessed HRQoL and neck pain values. Conclusions: The two training protocols were feasible and equally effective in improving HRQoL. Baseline HRQoL and pain values had only a minor effect on training adherence. [Box: see text]. 相似文献

Title. Staffing adequacy, supervisory support and quality of care in long‐term care settings: staff perceptions Aim. This paper is a report of a study to explore relationships between perceived care quality, self‐assessed professional skills, and the perceptions of the quality‐related factors. Background. The work in long‐term care is more demanding than in the past. The quality of care is strongly related to the well‐being and job satisfaction of staff. Those emerge in part through a perception of resources allocated to caring and also through a perception of the quality achieved. Method. Data were collected in Finland in 2002 using a questionnaire sent to the nursing staff working in 112 wards in 40 long‐term care institutions monitoring their care with the Resident Assessment Instrument System. Institutions were invited to participate the survey. The response rate was 70·2% (n = 1262). The respondents represented 3·8% of nursing personnel working in long‐term care institutions. Findings. Staff members who perceived staffing levels as inadequate and supervisory support as insufficient had lower perceptions of their own professional skills and the quality of care. Perceptions of empowering support behaviour were more strongly associated to self‐assessed skills and to perceived care quality than perceptions of skills‐oriented support activities. Staff members with short professional training, older staff members and staff members with long work experience in the unit had lower perceptions of their professional skills than other groups. Conclusion. The perception of adequate staffing and of sufficient supervisory support, especially empowering support increases the probability of perceiving the care quality as good. If supervisors concern themselves with staff members’ perceptions, they can better identify the staffing needs and also the support needs of personnel. 相似文献
