Abstract:
[Objective]To investigate the quality of life of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases and to analyze the factors affecting the quality of life so as to provide clinicians information on effective intervention measures. [Methods] Using SF-36 questionnaire, the quality of life of 92 patients with inflam-matory bowel diseases was surveyed and a comparison was made with general population. The affecting factors on quality of life were explored using multi-ple stepwise regression analysis. [Results]The SF-36 total scores in patients with inflammatory bowel disease ranged from 51.10 to 136.40. The scores on five dimensions of role physical, bodily pain, general health, social function, role emotional were significantly lower than the general population( P<0.01). Regression analysis showed that the factors affecting quality of life were mainly disease activity index, self evaluation on disease, age, working(studying) condition and economic situation. [Conclusions]Quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease is lower than the general population. Control-ling disease activity index and strengthening comprehensive interventions can improve quality of life of the patients.
