“…The results of the present study showed that conducting the self-care educational program in a 2-month follow-up period increased the asthma patients' knowledge of selfcare. This is consistent with the findings of the study by Meszaros et al which revealed education to increase the asthma patients' level of knowledge (19). In the same line, the study by Yang et al showed that education on asthma could significantly improve the adult asthma patients' knowledge as well as life quality (20).…”

Introduction: Asthma is one of the prevalent and costly diseases. Various studies have shown that self-care plays a major role in preventing the complications, improving the life quality, and reducing the care expenditures of asthma. Therefore, strengthening the asthma patients in caring for themselves and using planned trainings is highly necessary. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of education on self-care learning in the patients suffering from asthma. Patients and Methods: The present interventional study was conducted on 80 patients referring to specialized clinics of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences who had the inclusion criteria of the study. The patients were selected through convenient sampling and randomly assigned to either the control or the intervention group. The educational intervention included five sessions of training on self-care. The study data were collected using a demographic questionnaire as well as a knowledge assessment test and the results were analyzed through the SPSS statistical software. Results: The study results revealed no significant difference between the two groups regarding the demographic variables. However, comparison of the mean of changes in the two groups› knowledge scores showed a significant increase in the intervention group›s knowledge score (P<0.001). Conclusion: The findings of this study confirmed the patients› need for learning self-care methods as well as the effectiveness of planned educational programs. Therefore, using and strengthening selfcare trainings are highly recommended for asthma patients in clinics.

Pécsi Tudományegyetem, Egészségbiztosítási Intézet, Pécs 5 Pest Megyei Flór Ferenc Kórház, Reumatológiai és Fizioterápiás Osztály, KistarcsaBevezetés: Hazánkban 2000-ben készült olyan felmérés, amely a lakosság egészségi állapotát vizsgálta EQ-5D kérdő-ívvel. Célkitűzés: A lakosság egészségi állapotának felmérése különböző szociodemográfi ai jellemzők szerint és össze-hasonlítás a 2000-es adatokkal. Módszer: 2010-ben egy nemzetközi kutatás keretében internetalapú keresztmetszeti kérdőíves vizsgálatot végeztek a lakosság körében az EQ-5D-3L kérdőívvel. Eredmények: 2281 válaszadó (nők: 62,3%) töltötte ki a kérdőívet, az átlagéletkor 40,8 év volt. Az EQ-5D-index 0,902 (18-24 év) és 0,795 (65+) között alakult. Szignifi káns összefüggést találtak az életminőség és a nem, életkor, iskolázottság, jövedelem között (F( 4,1967 ) = 35,12, p = 0,000). Az eredmények nem térnek el szignifi kánsan a 2000-es felmérés eredményeitől a 18-24 éves korcsoportot kivéve, ahol alacsonyabb értékeket kaptak. Következtetések: Miközben 2000 és 2010 között a lakosság várható élettartama 3 évvel nőtt, az egészségi állapota nem javult, sőt a 18-24 év közötti korosztályban romolhatott is, nemzetközi összehasonlításban pedig továbbra is a legrosszabbak közé tartozik. Nem csökkentek az egészségi ál-lapottal összefüggő egyenlőtlenségek jövedelem és iskolai végzettség szerint. Orv. Hetil., 2015Hetil., , 156(50), 2035Hetil., -2044 Kulcsszavak: egészségi állapot, EQ-5D, EuroVaQ, Magyarország Health state of the Hungarian population between 2000-2010Introduction: So far, the latest survey which used the EQ-5D questionnaire to measure the health status of the Hungarian population was carried out in 2000. Aim: To explore the health state of the Hungarian population by sociodemographic characteristics, and to compare it with the results from 2000. Method: As part of an international research project, a cross-sectional, online survey was carried out among the general population in 2010 using the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. Results: In total, 2281 respondents (female: 62.3%) completed the questionnaire with an average age of 40.8 years. The EQ-5D score ranged from 0.902 (in age-group 18-24) to 0.795 (65+). The authors found signifi cant association between the EQ-5D score and all the socio-demographic variables (gender, age, education, income) included in the regression model (F( 4,1967 ) = 35.12, p = 0.000). The results did not differ signifi cantly from the health survey in 2000, except for the youngest population group (age 18-24), where signifi cantly lower scores were found in the sample. Conclusions: While life expectance increased by 3 years between 2000 and 2010, the health status of the Hungarian population did not change signifi cantly, and might even decreased among young adults in fact. Inequalities in health status by income and education remain signifi cant. In international comparison, the health status of the Hungarian population remains among the worst ones.

“…To measure the quality of life it is necessary to quantify a patient's own perception of their state [2,3]. Previous examinations [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] assess the primary effect of age and disease severity on the quality of life. Several studies tried to determine the factors that might influence the quality of life [11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Factorial design for the analysis of patient’s quality of life in asthma

Chronic diseases like asthma have a great impact on the everyday life of patients. Evaluation of a patient's quality of life informs us about how the patient is feeling and whether or not he or she is able to function physically, socially and emotionally. The objectives of this study were to assess the quality of life of asthmatic patients and to study the influence of age and disease severity, as independent variables, on the patient's quality of life. A 2-factor, 3-level face-centred central composite design was applied to construct a second-order polynomial model describing the effects of age and the severity on the quality of life. The second-order polynomial model was successfully applied to describe the effect of age and asthma severity with good correlation on the quality of life measured by either generic (Visual analogue scale) or disease specific (St George's Respiratory Questionnaire) instruments in the examined subjects. Our findings suggest quality of life may be used as a non-invasive patient-centred monitoring system as a guide for disease management if measured regularly.
