Abstract:

Methods A total of 165 patients with pulmonary hypertension were surveyed by General Information Questionnaire, Chinese version of Minnesota Living with Heart Failure-modified for PH ( MLHF-PH ) , Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale ( HADS ) , Social Support Rating Scale ( SSRS ) , Self-efficacy Management of Chronic Disease ( SECD6 ) and Medical Coping Method Questionnaire (MCMQ). Results The score of MLHF-PH was (41. 93 ± 18. 98), and the scores of MLHF-PH in marital status, different occupations, fee resource and disease type were statistically significant (F =6. 692,8. 593, 3. 342, 4. 388, respectively;P <0. 05). The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the severity of mMRC dyspnea, status of depression, 6 minute walk test distance, New York Heart Association ( NYHA ) functional classification, symptoms and times of hospitalization were introduced into the regression model, which could explain 78. 1% of the total variance. Conclusions The general health related quality of life in pulmonary hypertension patients were at a low level. Doctors and nurses should implement particular measurements according to their conditions to improve their quality of life.
