Abstract

The objective of the current study is to determine the relationship between illness perception, perceived social support and quality of life in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. To this end, the World Health Organization Quality of life scale, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support were used to measure the relationship between variables. The quantitative approach was used, with purposive sampling. A total of 150 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were part of the final sample. Hierarchical multiple regression results indicate that social support of family, friends, and significant others, are significant positive predictors of quality of life in pulmonary TB patients. This study has implications for designing better health and social policy for pulmonary tuberculosis patients with respect to (i) advancing support from significant others, (ii) strengthening quality of life through daily activities and work opportunities, and (iii) provision of medical and treatment information consistently. Keywords: Illness Perception, Perceived Social Support, Quality of Life, Pulmonary
肺结核患者疾病认知、感知社会支持与生活质量的关系
本研究旨在探讨结核病患者的疾病认知、感知社会支持与生活质量之间的关系。为此,采用世界卫生组织生活质量量表、简易疾病感知问卷和感知社会支持多维量表来衡量变量之间的关系。采用定量方法,有目的抽样。总共有150名肺结核患者是最终样本的一部分。分层多元回归结果显示,家庭、朋友和重要他人的社会支持是肺结核患者生活质量的显著正向预测因子。这项研究对设计更好的肺结核患者健康和社会政策具有启示意义,涉及以下方面:(i)促进重要他人的支持,(ii)通过日常活动和工作机会加强生活质量,以及(iii)始终如一地提供医疗和治疗信息。关键词:疾病感知,感知社会支持,生活质量,肺
