| Summary: | Background. Cardiovascular diseases occupy leading positions among other diseases and disabilities in most economically developed countries of the world. The growth of morbidity among the population of our country determines the need to assess the quality of life of people suffering from chronic diseases. The study of the quality of life is considered an integral approach that allows combining objective and subjective criteria for assessing health: the degree of adequacy of medical care, determining how the patient copes with the disease and what areas of life are limited by the presence of the disease.Objective. Assessing the quality of life of patients with diseases of the circulatory system.Materials and methods. The study examined the quality of life of 98 patients with circulatory system diseases who applied to a medical organization in Astrakhan. The age of the patients ranged from 45 to 70 years. The international certified Russian-language version of the Medical Outcomes Study Form (SF-36) questionnaire was used to register the quality of life. Statistical processing of the study results was carried out using the computer programs Microsoft Excel 2010 (Microsoft, USA), Statistica 12 (Software, USA).Results. The results of the study indicate that the overall quality of life of patients in Astrakhan suffering from circulatory system diseases is average. The physical and psychological components of health, regardless of gender, do not reduce the daily physical and social activity of the population. The influence of the physical condition on daily role activity, leading to a decrease in these indicators, was revealed among all patients. In most cases, role functioning due to the emotional state, social functioning is assessed as decreased. The psychological component of health in most cases corresponds to reduced values.Conclusion. The results of the study are applicable in practical healthcare to determine activities aimed at improving the quality of human life. |
