Abstract

Background: The Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI) gauges importance and satisfaction ratings in areas of life such as work, health, and family. An examination of QOLI scores among individuals with trichotillomania (TTM), a hair-pulling disorder, might provide insight on domain-specific interventions to counteract factors that may be contributing to lower quality-of-life (QOL) scores.

Methods: Three hundred thirty-three adults with TTM and 90 healthy controls (age 18 to 65) completed the QOLI and various symptom severity measures. We compared participants with TTM with controls on their overall QOLI scores as well as on QOL subdomains using independent sample t tests with a Bonferroni correction.

Results: Participants with TTM had significantly lower overall QOL compared with controls (t [421] = 7.858, P < .001). Additionally, participants with TTM reported significantly lower QOL scores in the following areas of their lives: health, self-esteem, goals and values, play, learning, creativity, helping, love, friends, children, and home (all P < .003).

Conclusions: Lower overall QOL and in specific domains of life highlight the complexity of overall life satisfaction measures in people with TTM. Further research may provide direction on future interventions and insight for family and/or friends supporting individuals with TTM.

拔毛癖患者的生活质量:对特定生活领域的评估。

背景:生活质量量表(QOLI)衡量生活领域的重要性和满意度，如工作、健康和家庭。对拔毛癖(一种拔毛障碍)患者的QOLI评分进行检查，可能会对特定领域的干预措施提供见解，以抵消可能导致生活质量(QOL)评分较低的因素。方法:333名成年TTM患者和90名健康对照者(年龄18 ~ 65岁)完成QOLI和各种症状严重程度测量。我们使用Bonferroni校正的独立样本t检验将TTM参与者与控制组的总体QOLI得分以及QOL子域进行比较。结果:与对照组相比，TTM患者的总体生活质量显著降低(t [421] = 7.858, P < 0.001)。此外，患有TTM的参与者在以下生活领域的生活质量得分显着降低:健康，自尊，目标和价值观，游戏，学习，创造力，帮助，爱情，朋友，孩子和家庭(均P < 0.003)。结论:较低的总体生活质量和特定的生活领域突出了TTM患者总体生活满意度测量的复杂性。进一步的研究可能为未来的干预提供方向，并为支持TTM患者的家人和/或朋友提供见解。
