Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of the degree of social support on treatment compliance, efficacy and quality of life in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Methods A total of 67 patients diagnosed of Rome II irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) were recruited into a low social support group (<35) and a high social support group (>45) according to the total score of social support. Treatment compliance, the World Health Organization Quality of Life BREF Determination (WHOQCL-BREF) and the clinical efficacy respectively were measured and compared between the two groups. Results The treatment compliance of patients with IBS in SSRS high score group was (13.79±5.12). While the treatment compliance of IBS patients in SSRS low score group was (11.25± 4.28). The difference between the two groups was significant (t=2.01, P<0.05).WHOQCL-BREF physical field, psychological field, social relations field and the environment field of IBS patients in SSRS high score group were significantly higher than the SSRS low score group (P<0.05) . Obvious effective rate, effective rate, and total effective rate in SSRS high score group were also higher than the low SSRS score group, with a significant difference (P<0.05) . The subjective Support, objective support, support availability factors of social support have significantly positive correlations (P<0.05 or 0.01) with the treatment compliance and all WHOQCL-BREF factors except environment; WHOQCL-BREF environmental factor was only related with the objective support (P<0.05) . Conclusion A good effective social support is of great significance in improving treatment compliance , quality of life and clinical efficacy in patients with IBS.
