| description | Introduction. Quality of life plays an important role in the fields of health and medicine.
Aim. The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of life of Lyme disease patients in relation to sociodemographic factors and life satisfaction.
Material and Methods. The study was conducted by a diagnostic survey among 126 Lyme disease patients. The study used The World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire and the Satisfaction with Life Scale.
Results. Among the respondents, those over 55 years of age had significantly lower somatic quality of life than those younger than 35 years of age (p=0.016). Those with secondary or higher education were characterized by higher quality of life in the somatic sphere than those with vocational education (p<0.05). Women were characterized by a statistically significantly higher quality of life in the social sphere than men(p=0.003). Those in a relationship were characterized by a higher quality of life in the environmental sphere than those who were single (p<0.05), a positive correlation between life satisfaction and quality of life in the somatic and social spheres(p<0.05; rho≤0.5), and in the environmental sphere(p<0.05; rho≤0.7).
Conclusions. Lyme disease patients have an average level of quality of life, the spheres of which are influenced by such factors as gender, age, marital status education and life satisfaction. (JNNN 2024;13(3):100–105) |
