摘要
背景:近年来,对支气管哮喘患者的主观生活质量的研究兴趣有所增加。诊断为哮喘的患者在日常活动和功能面临大量问题,这些对他们健康相关的生活质量产生不利影响。
目的:本研究的目的是分析社会人口学因素对哮喘患者生活质量的影响。
病例与方法:这项研究包括弗罗茨瓦夫医科大学老年病和变态反应疾病临床学系收治的100例患者(73名女性和27名男性),年龄在18-84岁(平均年龄45.7岁)。所有符合纳入标准的哮喘患者参加了这项研究。我们使用了医疗记录的分析和两份问卷调查:哮喘生活质量问卷(AQLQ)和哮喘控制测试。采集所有参与者的社会人口的当前数据,包括性别、年龄、婚姻状况、教育程度和收入来源。
结果:哮喘生活质量问卷(AQLQ)各个领域与生活质量正相关的社会人口学变量是受调查者的职业活动和较高的教育水平。负相关的影响因素是老龄人和缺乏职业活动的人。
结论:这项研究表明,年龄、体力劳动、缺乏职业活动(无工作)会降低病人的生活质量。受过高等教育有助于获得更好的生活质量。

Abstract
BACKGROUND:In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the subjective quality of life (QoL) of patients with bronchial asthma. Patients diagnosed with asthma experience a number of problems with regard to everyday activities and functions, which adversely affects their health-related QoL.
AIM:The aim of this study is to analyze the sociodemographic factors affecting the QoL of patients with asthma.
PATIENTS AND METHODS:The study comprised of 100 patients (73 females and 27 males) aged 18-84 years (mean age 45.7 years) treated in the Department and Clinic of Internal Diseases, Geriatrics and Allergology, Wroclaw Medical University. All patients with asthma who met the inclusion criteria participated in the study. We used medical record analysis and two questionnaires: the asthma quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ) and theasthma control test. Up-to-date sociodemographic data were collected from all participants, including sex, age, marital status, education, and sources of income.
RESULTS:The sociodemographic variables that correlated positively with QoL in all domains of the AQLQ were professional activity and higher education level of respondents. Factors that negatively influenced the AQLQ domains were older age and lack of professional activity.
CONCLUSION:This study shows that age, physical work, and lack of professional activity decreased the QoL in this patient group. It was found that higher education contributes to better QoL scores.
