“…It is believed that a greater number of patients between different FCs may correlate with the questionnaire used in this study, such as the study by Santos et al (2009), who found less impact in FC I in comparison with FC III. The emotional and physical factors are dimensions that influence the patients' quality of life with HF (Dourado et al, 2006;Peters-Klim et al, 2010).…”

“…This limitation is closely connected to the activities of daily living of the elderly, to quality of life (QL), and to changes in the lifestyle imposed by the disease. Patients with HF have their lives affected by the disease and even optimized care seems to have impacts on their quality of life (8) .…”

Objective:To assess the quality of life in elderly patients with heart failure. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in two university hospitals. Interviews were conducted with 170 elderly patients with heart failure in an outpatient setting. To assess the quality of life, the Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire was used. Results: The results showed a minor impact of illness on the emotional dimension of quality of life. However, indicators related to the physical dimension, including fatigue and breathlessness, showed a greater impact on quality of life for elderly patients. The internal consistency of the instrument-specific to quality of life was high, indicating satisfactory reliability (α> 0.80). Conclusion: This study enabled the assessment of quality of life of elderly patients living with heart failure, demonstrating that the physical dimension was the most compromised. It is essential to implement strategies to improve physical functioning in these patients. Keywords: Elderly; Heart failure; Quality of life RESUMOObjetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida relacionada à Saúde em idosos com insuficiência cardíaca. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado em dois hospitais universitários. Foram entrevistados 170 idosos com insuficiência cardíaca em seguimento ambulatorial. Para avaliar a qualidade de vida, foi utilizado o instrumento Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire. Resultados: Os resultados do estudo apontaram menor influência da doença sobre a dimensão emocional da qualidade de vida. Entretanto, as questões vinculadas à dimensão física, que avaliam fadiga e dispneia, apresentaram maior impacto na qualidade de vida dos idosos. A consistência interna do instrumento específico de qualidade de vida foi alta, indicando confiabilidade satisfatória (α >0,80). Conclusão: Este estudo possibilitou a avaliação da qualidade de vida dos idosos com insuficiência cardíaca e mostrou a dimensão física, como o aspecto mais comprometido. É essencial a implementação de estratégias que melhorem a função física desses pacientes.

“…. The measurements of quality of life (QOL) in most of the studies have been performed based on the hospital setting and discharge follow-up (McMurray et al, 2012;Naveiro-Rilo et al, 2010;Santos, Plewka, & Brofman, 2009).…”

AimsHeart failure (HF) influences health‐related quality of life. However, the factors that contribute to health‐related quality of life remain unclear in Taiwan. We aim to identify the factors influencing health‐related quality of life in HF patients.MethodsHospitalized HF (N = 225) patients were included from April 2011 to April 2014. Health‐related quality of life was assessed by using the 36‐Item Short‐Form Health Survey (SF‐36) and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire. A new cut‐off was conducted based on the combination of SF‐36 and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire.ResultsThere were significant differences between good and poor quality groups on age, gender, education levels, occupational classification caregiver, New York Heart Association classes, and the numbers of comorbidities. The logistic regression analysis showed that the number of comorbidities was more than three and New York Heart Association class IV were significantly associated with health‐related quality of life.

Qualidade de vida e indicadores clínicos na insuficiência cardíaca: análise multivariada

Abstract: SummaryBackground: In Heart Failure (HF), special attention must be given not only to objective or isolated aspects, but also to the patient's health self-perceptions. Subjective aspects can help healthcare providers understand and better treat HF.
