“…This finding contrasts with previous studies where both physical and psychological QoL of those with chronic illness was poorer than healthy individuals (Dickson et al, 2009;Ovayolu, Ovayolu, & Karadag, 2011;Salaffi, Carotti, Gasparini, Intorcia, & Grassi, 2009;Slatkowsky-Christensen, Mowinckel, Loge, & Kvien, 2007). However, the ill sample in the present study comprised a wide variety of health conditions.…”

This pilot study investigated the effects of providing guided, individualised feedback on subjective quality of life (QoL), using results from the multi-dimensional WHOQOL-BREF profile.Participants (n=129; 85 chronically ill) were recruited in the community, and primary care. They were randomized to receive written or verbal guidance on interpreting a new graphical summary profile, which simultaneously presented (a) their individual self-ratings of QoL, and (b) the importance attributed to each QoL dimension. Before and after feedback, participants completed health status, subjective QoL, QoL importance, goal-oriented QoL, and mood measures.Receiving individualised feedback was associated with increased psychological QoL, with modest effect size. No effects were found for physical, social or environmental QoL or QoL importance, health status, mood or goal-oriented QoL. There were no differences between modes of delivering guidance, indicating equal effectiveness. Chronic illness participants reported poorer QoL, moved more slowly towards their QoL goals, and had larger differences between core QoL and QoL Importance than healthy participants.Guided individualised empirical feedback about QoL judgements could be used to promote psychological wellbeing. Although professional interpretation of feedback is unnecessary, if shared, patients' profiled WHOQOL information could support selfmonitoring, self-management, and clinical decision-making.

“…Also Slatkowasky et al, in a study on health-related quality of life in women with symptomatic hand osteoarthritis, indicated significant relation between marriage and QOL. 31 One of the effective variables on QOL in this study was period of illness, that 40% of patients had more than 10 years history of RA which have had lower QOL comparing to other people with less history of illness.…”

“…For example, quality isn't same in knee, hand and femoral osteoarthritis (23).On the other hand, have been showen that unwanted effects of osteoarthritis on quality of life could be seen over 50 years (24), but we studied younger than 50 years patients .In comparison of 2 groups with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis were pain, physical function and health worse in rheumatoid arthritis. Other parameters associated with quality of life had no statistically significant difference .In Slatkowsky-Christensen et al (2007) studied quality of life by Sf-36 questionnaire in two groups with hand osteoarthritis(190 patients) and rheumatoid arthritis (194 patients).On this base, physical health and function in rheumatoid arthritis and mental health in osteoarthritis were worse (14).In other study by SlatkowskyChristensen et al (2009),physical function in rheumatoid arthritis and pain in osteoarthritis (25).These results were same with our findings.…”

Background and aim: Musculoskeletal disorders are the most common diseases all over the world. They cause pain, functional impairment, work disability, and affect individuals' quality of life (QOL). Disorders such as fibromyalgia syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis constitute a large portion of these conditions. They are very common, especially in middle-aged and older women. Various studies have reported a significant decreased of QOL in these patients comparing with the normal population. This study aims at evaluation the QOL in women with these disorders in comparing with well-matched normal controls.Methods & Materials: In this case-control setting, 400 women aged 35-55 years were enrolled during a 12-month period in Clinics of Rheumatology affiliated to Tabriz University of medical Sciences. They categorized in four equal (100-case) groups: patients with fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, knee osteoarthritis and healthy controls. The groups were matched for age, body mass index, education and occupation. The Persian version of SF-36 questionnaire was employed to assess the QOL. Different dimensions of QOL were compared between the groups. Results: Physical Functioning, Pain, mental Health, Vitality and physical Health were significantly better in the controls than all three patient groups. Emotional Role, vitality and mental Health in comparing the fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis groups, were significantly worse in the rheumatoid arthritis group. Comparing the fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis groups, all dimensions and groups of QOL were worse in fibromyalgia group. Comparing the rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis groups, Physical functioning, pain and physical health were significantly worse in rheumatoid arthritis group. The intra-group comparison showed that the physical health was worse than the mental health in controls. This was opposite in the rheumatoid arthritis group, with no significant difference in the fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis groups. Conclusion: This study showed that the QOL is negatively influenced by the musculoskeletal disorders. This condition is worse in fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis than the osteoarthritis.
