功能性便秘患者的精神心理状况及生活质量评估

目的 通过比较和分析功能性便秘(FC)患者与健康对照者的精神心理和生活质量状况,揭示FC患者的生活质量状况及其临床意义.方法 应用普适量表(SCL-90)和疾病特殊量表(PAC-QOL)对60例FC患者和性别、年龄相匹配的30例健康对照者进行问卷调查,并详细记录每天排便情况.对两者之间的一般资料、精神心理评分、生活质量评分进行比较,同时对FC患者的精神心理评分、便秘症状程度与生活质量评分进行相关性分析.结果 (1)FC患者与健康对照者在年龄、BMI、性别比例之问差异无统计学意义;而两组在大便性状评分、日均排便次数之间差异有统计学意义.(2)FC患者SCL-90评分的总分、总症状指数、阳性项日数、阳性症状痛苦水平、9个因子分除恐怖外的躯体化、强迫、焦虑、抑郁和精神病性等因子分显著高于健康对照组(P＜0.05).(3)FC患者PAC-QOL的4个部分得分及总平均分分别为:躯体不适(3.06±0.75)、心理社会不适(2.34±0.79)、担心焦虑(2.99±0.81)、满意度(3.22±0.40)、总平均分(2.85±0.50),均较基线水平明显升高.(4)SCL-90中的总分、总症状指数、阳性项目数、阳性症状痛苦水平、9个因子分中的躯体化、强迫、抑郁、焦虑、敌对等与PAC-QOL评分有显著相关性,尤其表现在焦虑和抑郁两方面.(5)FC患者腹胀、排便费力等症状程度与PAC-QOL总平均分及SCL-90评分有显著相关性.结论 FC患者存在明显的精神心理异常,便秘严重降低了患者的生活质量.生活质量评分的高低比实验室指标和便秘的严重程度更能反映患者的健康状况.
