“…The study by Nassehi et al (2014) with an aim to investigate the effect of family-based empowerment program on patients with asthma indicated that total score and quality of life's aspects were significantly different after the intervention when compared to the pretest (13); moreover, the study of Ghasemi et al (2014) showed that an empowerment program made an improvement in the process of patients' social support and quality of life (14). The study of Clary et al (2009) on hemodialysis patents showed that patients' motivation increased after implementing an empowerment program and, also, a considerable increase was observed in self-efficiency, self-esteem and quality of life of patients (15).…”

Background: Leukemia is a common cancer among adults with growing prevalence in Iran. This disease affects different aspects of the patient, especially their quality of life. One of the methods to promote hygiene and health and, consequently, quality of life is to empower the family of the patient. Objectives: The effect of family-based empowerment on quality of life in patients with leukemia was studied in this research. Methods: This study was a clinical trial conducted on 46 adult patients with leukemia together with 46 of their family members in 2015. Eligible patients were selected by the available method and randomly placed in two groups of test and control. Tools for gathering data included a demographic questionnaire about the patient and their family member and a specified questionnaire about the quality of life of patients with cancer. Family-based empowerment intervention was held for research samples in the test group based on its quadruple steps (perceived threat, self-efficiency promotion, increase of self-esteem through educational participation, and assessment) in six 90-minute sessions and a second test was conducted a month and half after the intervention. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 20 statistical software. Results: Results of chi-square test reflected that both groups of test and control were similar in terms of demographic information (P > 0.5). Moreover, statistical independent T-test did not show a significant difference in aspects of quality of life in test and control groups before the intervention (P = 0.98) while this test showed a significant difference in both groups after the intervention (P = 0.00), except for the spiritual aspect (p=0.2). Paired T-test indicated a significant increase in aspects of quality of life in the test group after the intervention (p=0.00) while this test reflected a reverse significant difference in general aspect of quality of life in the control group (P = 0.006). Conclusions:In general, results of this research showed that implementing family-based empowerment pattern has been effective for increasing quality of life in patients with leukemia.

“…(Marcon, Rubira, Espinosa, Belasco, et al, 2012). Observou-se que prevaleceram familiares do sexo feminino (98%), dado que corrobora com estudo feito em um CAPS -ad no Estado de Mato Grosso e Irã, em que 90,8% e 61,1% eram mulheres respectivamente (Ghasemi et al, 2014;. Esses dados mostram o impacto do uso de drogas na família e principalmente na saúde da mulher.…”

“…Muitas vezes, mesmo com um emprego fora do lar, a mulher assume esse papel, o que repercute na redução do tempo livre e traz implicações para a sua vida (Pereira et al, 2013). Enquanto a mulher (mãe) é a cuidadora, os outros familiares tornam-se dependentes desse cuidado, gerando um padrão disfuncional na relação familiar, que centraliza toda a sobrecarga do cuidado na mãe produzindo estresse e frustações (Ghasemi et al, 2014;Moreira et al, 2013;Vasconcellos & Prati, 2013) Nesse estudo, a maioria dos familiares era casado e inserido no mercado de trabalho.…”

“…Outros estudos com o mesmo tipo de população também possuíam amostra com as mesmas características Marcon, Rubira, Espinosa, Belasco, et al, 2012;Moreira et al, 2013). Esse pode ser um fator de proteção para esse familiar, pois a união estável dos pais pode minimizar o uso de substâncias químicas na família e somando-se a isso, a presença de um companheiro, pode representar apoio prático e emocional, sendo muito valorizado por pessoas fragilizadas (Ghasemi et al, 2014;Moreira et al, 2015;Pereira et al, 2013).…”

Objective: To analyze the factors that influence the quality of life (QOL) and the level of hopelessness of family members of chemical dependents (DQ). Method: 104 relatives of dependents undergoing treatment participated. A sociodemographic profile form, the Brazilian Economic Classification Criterion (CCEB), the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-bref) were used. Results: there was a predominance of a moderate level of hopelessness and impaired QOL, especially in the environment domain. Being single, having a lower monthly income, having a family member who uses drugs for more than five years, not being in the job market, having three or fewer people living in residence, not having their transport and being the user's parent negatively influence the QOL. Illiterate and low-income family members had more hopelessness. Conclusion: sociodemographic characteristics influence QOL and the level of hopelessness and it is important to implement policies that improve this data to obtain better QoL and hopelessness rates.

“…Three questionnaires were used for data collection: 1) the Medical Outcome Study Short Form-36 (SF-36); 2) PBC-40; and 3) PBC-27. The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36 (SF-36) is a widely used and validated generic questionnaire to measure HRQoL in various populations with a wide variety of medical conditions ( 8 , 9 ). The disease-specific instruments, PBC-40 and PBC-27 assess the symptoms of chronic cholestasis such as fatigue, excessive daytime sleepiness, pruritus and impaired memory and concentration ( 3 , 4 ).…”

Background:Osteoporosis occurs frequently in patients with chronic cholestatic liver diseases, yet data are scarce regarding the prevalence of osteoporosis and fragility fractures and their impact on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC).Objectives:We aimed to assess Bone Mineral Density (BMD), physical activity and incidence of fragility fractures in patients with PSC. We also sought associations between prior fractures and HRQoL.Patients and Methods:The study was performed on 33 patients (11 females, 22 males) aged 35.3 ± 13 years. HRQoL was assessed by Short Form (SF)-36, Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC)-40 and PBC-27 questionnaires. BMD was measured by densitometry in the lumbar spine and hip. Physical activity was assessed by questionnaire.Results:In 32% of patients, BMD measured in the hip or spine was below 1.0 Standard Deviation. A history of fragility fractures (distal forearm and ribs) was reported in six patients (18%). In SF-36 assessment, patients with fractures had lower scores in the role functioning, general health and vitality domains and Physical Component Summary (PCS) than those without fractures. Prior fractures adjusted for gender and PSC duration were associated with lower PCS and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores. Symptoms and fatigue (assessed by PBC) and prior fractures were inversely associated with MCS (P = 0.007).Conclusions:In middle-aged subjects with PSC, we found a high rate of non-vertebral fractures and a moderately decreased BMD in lumbar spine and hip. Fragility fractures had an impact on physical and mental aspects of HRQoL.
