“…Regarding the results of this study, the quality of life in the physical and mental health dimensions had a significant difference in the case and control groups, which is consistent with Agh study (Agh, 2014). Also in Laurent research results showed life satisfaction and quality of life were significantly impaired in stroke patients, compared with controls and Quality of life was strongly correlated with functional independence and depressive mood (Laurent, 2011). A study by Barkhordari, et al which aimed to investigate the relationship between quality of life and the accidents, the results showed that the mean scores of quality of life there is a significant difference between the two groups in two physical pain and role limitations (Barkhordari, 2010).…”

With the development of science and technology, occupational accidents, as one of the most important problems in the world, result in negative effects on physical and psychological health, and also the quality of life of workers. The aim of this study was to compare the quality of life among workers with and without accident. In a cross-sectional study, 93 workers were selected, 31 who experienced accident and 62 as control group. To gather the data, a researcher-made questionnaire for demographic characteristics and the quality of life questionnaire (SF-36) were used. Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests were used for data analysis. The mean and standard deviation of age was 30.81±7.29 and 30.56±7.19 in workers with accident (case group) and control group, respectively. Homogeneity was ensured in terms of age and work experience and the two groups had no significant difference in this regard (p>0.05). Most of the participants were high school graduates (67.7%). The majority of accidents (68.8%) had occurred in the manufacturing sections. The most common accident type was sprayed chemical substances (19.4%) and the less frequent was electrocution (3.2%). The mean total score for the quality of life was 37.61±14.29 and 74.92±12.95 in the case and control groups with a statistical significance difference (p<0.001). The results of this study indicate that the incident could affect the quality of life of workers. Therefore, promoting the safety culture can help to reduce the occupational accidents.

“…The quality of life of our patients remained altered 1 year after the stroke, as in previous studies, 11,18,23 particularly for vitality and physical and emotional states. Scores on the SF-36 were correlated with scores on the FIM scale despite their broad distribution.…”

“…Earlier studies have also indicated that the most significant predictors of HRQOL are functional status and depression (3,4,10,(16)(17)(18)(19)25,36), although a study demonstrated a more generalized adverse effect on HRQOL than functional disabilities (37), and some who have demonstrated disability alone explained little regarding the variance in the QOL (2,38). The results produced from the current study demonstrated that the anxiety and depression scores in patients were significantly higher compared with those in controls.…”

Objective: This study aims to examine the overall and domain-specific quality of life in patients with stroke and to identify variables predicting quality of life after stroke. Material and Methods: A total of 104 patients with sufficient cognitive functions having hemiplegia because of cerebrovascular accident and 108 controls were included in this study. Demographic and clinical features were recorded. The Barthel Index (BI) and Functional Ambulation Category scale were employed to assess the functional state of patients. Quality of life was evaluated by the Short Form 36 (SF-36) health survey, whereas the emotional state of the patients was evaluated by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Functional status, motor impairment, and emotional state were determined as independent variables, and multiple regression analysis was used to predict quality of life. Results: Patients had significantly lower scores in the quality of life subscores and total scores in comparison with the controls (p<0.001). The mean anxiety and depression rates in the patients were significantly higher than those in controls (p<0.001). The sum of subscores and physical composite score of SF-36 were significantly lower in female and illiterate patients than in male and educated patients. Multiple regression analyses indicated that HADS depression was associated with mental health (p<0.001), whereas BI was independently associated with the physical health total score (p<0.05). The power of the statistical analysis for study population was 100% according to the given effect size (α=0.01). Conclusion: Present results demonstrated that patients with stroke have a significantly poor quality of life than the general population. The reduced quality of life after stroke appears to be related the emotional state, physical disability, and demographic properties such as gender and education. Therefore, prevention of disability and early diagnosis and treatment of depression are vital in improving the quality of life of patients with stroke.
