Abstract:
Objective To analyze the quality of life and its influencing factors among patients with occupational coal workers' pneumoconiosis (hereinafter referred to as "coal workers' pneumoconiosis"). Methods A total of 404 coal workers' pneumoconiosis patients diagnosed in Fengjie County of Chongqing City were selected as the study subjects using the convenient sampling method, and their quality of life was investigated by the SF-36 scale. Results The total score of quality of life of the subjects was (63.1±12.1) points. Their scores in the eight dimensions of physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health subscales, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health subscales were lower than that of norms for Chongqing City and the nation (all P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the total score of quality of life of the patients decreased with the increase of age and stage of pneumoconiosis (all P<0.01). The total score of quality of life of patients living in urban areas was higher than that of rural patients(P<0.01). The total score of quality of life of patients who had left their jobs was higher than that of retired patients (P<0.01). The total score of quality of life of smoking patients and those with complications was lower than that of non-smokers and those without complications (all P<0.01). Conclusion Age, place of residence, smoking, stage of pneumoconiosis, work status, and complications of pneumoconiosis were the main influencing factors of quality of life among coal workers' pneumoconiosis patients.
