Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationships among hope level, coping style and quality of life (QOL) in myasthenia gravis (MG) patients. Methods From September 2016 to September 2017, 139 MG patients of Shaoxing People's Hospital were selected by convenience sampling. The hope level, coping style and QOL of patients were investigated with the Herth Hope Index (HHI), Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) and Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30). Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the correlations among them and influencing factors of QOL respectively. Results The total score of HHI, score of confrontation dimension, avoidance dimension, yield dimension of MCMQ and score of total QOL of MG patients was (35.85±3.14), (18.78±3.67), (15.82±2.37), (9.94±2.79) and (52.33±11.83) respectively. Correlation analysis showed the total score of HHI of MG patients was positively associated with the total score of total QOL (r=0.675, P<0.05); the confrontation coping style was positively associated with the total QOL (r=0.613, P<0.05); the yield coping style had a negative correlation with the total QOL (r=-0.582, P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed the influencing factors of QOL of MG patients included the burden of medical expense, classification of Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA), total score of HHI and yield. Conclusions The QOL of MG patients is in a low level. The main influencing factors of QOL of patients involve the burden of medical expense, classification of MGFA, hope level and yield coping style.
