| Abstract | Ciljevi: Glavni cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati kvalitetu života osoba oboljelih od
posttraumatskog stresnog poremećaja i njihovo pridržavanje zdravom načinu života. Dodatni
ciljevi bili su ispitati povezanost kvalitete života sa sociodemografskim, antropometrijskim i
metaboličkim parametrima, varijablama vezanim uz ratno iskustvo te štetnim životnim
navikama.
Materijali i metode: Istraživanje je provedeno na 100 ispitanika, veterana iz Domovinskog
rata s dijagnozom PTSP-a, koji se liječe u Centru za psihotraumu Kliničkog bolničkog centra u
Splitu. Od ispitanika su prikupljeni anamnestički i sociodemografski podaci te su ispunili
FANTASTIC Lifestyle upitnik o pridržavanju zdravom načinu života. Izvedena su
antropometrijska mjerenja (tjelesna masa, visina, opseg struka i bokova) te mjerenja sastava
tijela (postotak masti, razina visceralne masti i metabolička dob).
Rezultati: Kvaliteta života osoba oboljelih od PTSP-a je niska, a prosječni broj postignutih
bodova na upitniku za sve ispitanike iznosio je 52,7 (95% CI 50,4-55). Utvrđena je značajna
povezanost između socioekonomskog statusa i kvalitete života (P=0,032), pri čemu ispitanici
višeg statusa imaju višu kvalitetu života. Najvišu kvalitetu života su imali umirovljenici s
rezultatom 56 (95% CI 52,2-59,7). Nije utvrđena značajna povezanost između bračnog statusa
i roditeljstva s kvalitetom života (P=0,055, P=0,203). Pušenje je pokazalo negativan utjecaj na
kvalitetu života, pri čemu su najviši zbir bodova na upitniku imali nepušači (57,1; 95% CI 53,9-
60,3), a najniži pušači (48,2; 95% CI 44,7-51,8). Konzumacija većeg broja alkoholnih pića na
tjedan također snižava kvalitetu života (P=0,042). Kvaliteta života bila je niža kod ispitanika
koji su sudjelovali u ratu u mlađoj životnoj dobi (Spearman ρ=0,213, P=0,034), ali nije pokazala
povezanost s vremenom provedenim u ratu. Nijedan antropometrijski niti metabolički
parametar nije pokazao povezanost s kvalitetom života, osim metaboličke dobi (Pearson
r=0,200, P=0,048).
Zaključci: Osobe oboljele od PTSP-a imaju nisku kvalitetu života. Kvaliteta života pokazala
je značajnu povezanost sa socioekonomskim statusom i zaposlenošću, pušenjem i
konzumacijom alkohola, dobi pri sudjelovanju u ratu te metaboličkom dobi ispitanika. |
| Abstract (english) | Objectives: The main goal of this research was to determine the quality of life of persons with
posttraumatic stress disorder and their adherence to healthy lifestyle. Additional goals were to
examine the connection between the quality of life and sociodemographic, anthropometric and
metabolic parameters, variables related to the war experience and unhealthy life habits.
Materials and methods: This research was performed on 100 subjects, who are veterans of the
Croatian War of Independence with the diagnosis of PTSD and are patients of the Psychotrauma
Clinic of the University Hospital of Split. The sociodemographic and anamnestic data were
collected and the subjects have filled out the FANTASTIC Lifestyle questionnaire about the
quality of life (QoL). Anthropometric (body mass, height, waist and hip circumference) and
body composition (body fat percentage, visceral fat level and metabolic age) measurements
were performed.
Results: The quality of life of persons with PTSD is low and the mean score of the questionnaire
was 52.7 (95% CI 50.4-55). A significant correlation between the socioeconomic status and the
QoL was determined (P=0.032), the subjects of a higher status having higher QoL. The retired
had the highest QoL with the score of 56 (95% CI 52.5-59.7). There was no significant
correlation between the marital status and parenthood with QoL (P=0.055, P=0.203). Smoking
showed a negative influence on the QoL, non-smokers having the highest score (57.1; 95% CI
53.9-60.3) and smokers having the lowest score (48.2; 95% CI 44.7-51.8). Consumation of a
higher number of alcoholic beverages a week also lowers QoL (P=0.042). QoL was lower in
the subjects who participated in the war at a younger age (Spearman ρ=0.213, P=0.034), but
there was no correlation with the time spent in the war. No anthropometric or metabolic
parameters showed the correlation with QoL, except the metabolic age (Pearson r=0.200,
P=0.048).
Conclusions: Persons suffering from PTSD have a low QoL. QoL showed a significant
correlation with some sociodemographic parameters, unhealthy life habits, the age at which the
subjects participated in the war and the metabolic age of the subjects. |
