摘要
目的:探讨住院老年慢性病患者死亡焦虑和生存质量状况及其相关性。方法应用生存质量量表( SF-36)与中文版死亡焦虑量表( TDAS)对山东省泰安市某三级综合医院170例住院老年慢性病患者进行调查。结果住院老年慢性病患者的死亡焦虑总分为(6.20±3.31)分,生存质量总分为(102.21±14.58)分,两者总分及各维度之间呈负相关(r=-0.173--0.410,P〈0.05)。结论住院老年慢性病患者的死亡焦虑与生存质量呈负相关,随着死亡焦虑水平的升高,生存质量会下降。提示临床医务人员应关注慢病患者的死亡焦虑,开展死亡教育和临终关怀,以降低患者死亡焦虑,提高患者的生存质量。
Objective To explore the correlation between death anxiety and quality of life ( QOL) in elderly patients with chronic diseases. Methods Totally 170 elderly inpatients with chronic diseases from a tertiary comprehensive hospital in Taian were investigated by QOL scale ( SF-36 ) and Templer death anxiety scale (TDAS). Results The total score of TDAS in elderly inpatients with chronic diseases was (6.20±3.31);the total score of QOL was (102.21±14.58). The total score and dimensions of death anxiety were negatively correlated with the total score of QOL (r=-0.173--0.410, P〈0.05). Conclusions The death anxiety of patients with chronic diseases is negatively correlated with their QOL, which means that the higher of the level of death anxiety is, the lower of the level of QOL will be. Medical staff should focus on the death anxiety of elderly patients with chronic diseases and carry out death education and hospice care in order to decrease their death anxiety and improve their QOL.
