Abstract

Cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati kvalitetu života povezanu sa zdravljem [KŽPZ] u odraslih osoba s adolescentnom idiopatskom skoliozom [AIS]. Cilj istraživanja operacionaliziran je kroz dva istraživačka problema: ispitati razinu kvalitete života povezane sa zdravljem odraslih osoba s adolescentnom idiopatskom skoliozom te ispitati doprinos percepcije bolesti, socijalne podrške, prihvaćanja bolesti i trenutne psihološke uznemirenosti u objašnjenju kvalitete života povezane sa zdravljem. Istraživanje je provedeno putem online upitnika na ukupno 127 sudionika u dobi od 17-50 godina (M=25.9, SD=6.58). U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 112 žena i 15 muškaraca. Sudionici su pružili sociodemografske i zdravstvene informacije te ispunili sljedeće upitnike: skraćena verzija Upitnika o percepciji bolesti, SRS-22r upitnik o kvaliteti života povezanoj sa zdravljem za osobe sa skoliozom, Upitnik prihvaćanja bolesti, Višedimenzionalna ljestvica percipirane socijalne podrške te Upitnik za ispitivanje općih psihopatoloških teškoća CORE-OM. Rezultati pokazuju kako većina sudionika doživljava barem blagu bol radi kralježnice, a slika o sebi prosječno je blago narušena, kao i njihovo psihičko zdravlje. Najveće prosječno nezadovoljstvo sudionika tiče se njihovog tretmana, pri čemu većina sudionika ne iskazuje zadovoljstvo tretmanom leđa te nije sigurna da bi ili sigurno ne bi ponovno izabrala isti tretman. Ukupan rezultat ukazuje na prosječno blago sniženu KŽPZ sudionika. Značajnim prediktorima KŽPZ pokazali su se: prihvaćanje bolesti, percepcija bolesti i psihološka uznemirenost. Dobiveni rezultati ukazuju na potrebu holističkog pristupa pacijentima s AIS te eventualnu dobrobit psihoedukacije ili slične psihološke intervencije.

Abstract (english)

The aim of the study was to investigate health-related quality of life [HRQL] in adults with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis [AIS]. Two research problems included examining the level of health-related quality of life in adults with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and examining the contribution of perception of illness, social support, illness acceptance and current psychological distress in explaining health-related quality of life. The research was conducted through an online questionnaire on 127 participants aged between 17-50 years old (M=25.9, SD=6.58). There were 112 women and 15 men. Participants provided sociodemographic and health data and completed the following questionnaires: Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, SRS-22r HRQL Questionnaire, Acceptance of Illness Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and The Young Person's Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation. Results show that most participants experience at least minor pain due to their spine issues, and their self-image, as well as mental health, is mildly impaired. Participants are most unhappy with their treatment, where most participants don’t state they are satisfied with their back treatment and aren’t sure if they would, or they certainly wouldn’t pick the same treatment again. The total score shows a mildly disturbed HRQL. Illness acceptance, illness perception and current psychological distress are significant predictors of HRQL. These results indicate the need for holistic approach in treating AIS patients and potential benefits of psychoeducational or a similar type of intervention for these patients.
