摘要

本研究评估了与心脏病患者相关的各种因素，重点关注他们的健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）、求医行为及其与人口统计学变量的关联。目的探讨心脏病患者HRQOL与求医行为的关系。方法研究对象403人，年龄18 ~ 59岁。采用SF-36 V2和HBS-16问卷评估人口统计学特征、HRQOL和求医行为。使用SPSS 22.0版本进行统计分析，包括Mann-Whitney U检验和调整优势比，以检查这些因素与家庭病史、吸烟状况和人口统计数据等变量之间的关系。结果心脏病患者HRQOL较低的患者较多，但有积极就医行为的占76.7%。HRQOL与心脏病家族史和吸烟状况等因素之间存在关联。那些有家族史的人表现出不同的健康寻求行为和情感幸福感。吸烟者也表现出不同的健康寻求模式。年龄、职业、婚姻状况、家族史、吸烟状况等人口因素影响HRQOL和求医行为。结论本研究强调了心血管疾病、生活质量和求医行为之间的复杂关系。社会经济和生活方式因素，如吸烟和缺乏运动，显著影响HRQOL和健康结果。有针对性的干预措施，包括公共卫生运动和早期风险评估，对于改善心脏病患者，特别是那些获得护理机会有限的患者的HRQOL和保健结果至关重要。

Assessment of health-related quality of life and health-seeking behavior in female cardiac patients in rural setting of Pakistan: A comprehensive cross-sectional analysis

Background

This study assessed various factors related to cardiac patients, focusing on their health-related quality of life (HRQOL), health-seeking behavior, and their association with demographic variables. The aim was to explore HRQOL and health-seeking behavior in cardiac patients.

Methods

The study included 403 participants aged 18–59 years. Demographic characteristics, HRQOL, and health-seeking behavior were assessed using the SF-36 V2 and HBS-16 questionnaires. Statistical analyses, including Mann-Whitney U tests and adjusted odds ratios, were performed using SPSS version 22.0 to examine the relationship between these factors and variables such as family medical history, smoking status, and demographic data.

Results

The findings revealed that many cardiac patients reported low HRQOL, while 76.7 % demonstrated positive health-seeking behavior. Associations were found between HRQOL and factors like family history of cardiac disease and smoking status. Those with a family history showed different health-seeking behaviors and emotional well-being. Smokers also exhibited distinct health-seeking patterns. Demographic factors like age, occupation, marital status, family history, and smoking status influenced HRQOL and health-seeking behavior.

Conclusion

This study highlights the complex relationship between cardiovascular disease, quality of life, and health-seeking behavior. Socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, such as smoking and inactivity, significantly impact HRQOL and health outcomes. Targeted interventions, including public health campaigns and early risk assessments, are essential to improve HRQOL and healthcare outcomes for cardiac patients, particularly those with limited access to care.
