“…FESS significantly reduced the mean score of all items in the SNOT-22 questionnaire in this study. M Junaid., et al [6] also showed significant improvement in the mean scores after FESS from 52.31 in SNOT-22 before surgery to 13.69 1 month after surgery.…”

“…Researchers have shown interest in assessing QOL by developing QOL related questionnaires such as SNOT-22 that is deemed as the most suitable and reliable disease specific questionnaire designed for use in chronic rhino-sinusitis patients. It is a patient-reported outcome measure of symptom severity and quality of life in patients with Sino nasal diseases [6].…”

Introduction: Chronic-rhino sinusitis is an inflammatory disorder of the Para nasal sinuses and linings of the nasal passages that lasts for 12 weeks or longer. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive technique used to restore sinus ventilation and normal function hence it is the mainstay surgical treatment for chronic-rhino sinusitis. This disease affects the quality of life of patients but it has been reported that, FESS provides significant improvement on the QOL of patients. This study aim to assess whether Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery provides a better QOL in patients with CRS with or without polyposis in a tertiary Hospital, Tanzania. Also, it aims to determine the predictive factors influencing the QOL of these patients. Objective: To assess the quality of life of patients with chronic rhino-sinusitis with or without polyposis before and after FESS. Methodology: This is a hospital based before and after study where by patients diagnosed with CRS with or without polyposis planned for FESS were recruited. The SNOT-22 test was used to evaluate QOL. Data was collected before the surgery and 1 month after the surgery and analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 software. Result: 48 patients were enrolled in this study, 19 (39.6%) were male and 29 (60.4%) were female. The age range was 5-79 years with the mean age of 35 years. There was a statistically significant reduction between the preoperative and postoperative score attained on SNOT-22. (Z =-6.032, p = 0.000) The mean score of the preoperative score was 40.81 and the mean score of the postoperative score was 5.38. In this study there were 6 patients who had a history (past or present) of smoking, 6 patients who had Asthma and 11 patients with a previous history of FESS. Only a history of prior sinus surgery predicted poor quality of life after FESS. Conclusion: Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery is associated with increase in the quality of life of patients with CRS.

“…For instance, Qadeer et al demonstrated a gradual improvement in the mean score of QOL over a one-year follow-up period. The QOL score is reduced from 52.31 to 13.69, 11.26, 12.5, and 12.81 in postoperative 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months, respectively [ 14 ]. A similar trajectory has been replicated in other studies outside the Middle East, such as Jayakrishna et al, who reported a mean change of 33.04 with p < 0.001, indicating a high significance [ 22 ].…”

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a prevalent health problem that affects many people around the world and can require surgical intervention if conservative therapy fails. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure commonly used to manage CRS. The success of FESS depends on various factors, and larger studies are necessary to determine its efficacy in managing CRS in this population. This systematic review and meta-analysis of the available literature aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of FESS in the Middle East. We followed the standards outlined by PRISMA and the Cochrane Handbook for systematic reviews. The primary outcome of interest was the quality of life (QOL), and the secondary outcome was the recurrence of CRS. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted, and sensitivity analysis was performed to examine the robustness of the results. Six studies were included. The review found that the QOL significantly improved (p < 0.001). Two studies reported recurrence of CRS after FESS, and data showed that the recurrence of CRS after surgery was 6%. FESS is an effective intervention for CRS, but further research is needed on recurrence rates.

“…Quality of life is a term integrating several aspects such as physical, psychological, social, economic and emotional dimensions. The disturbance in any one of these aspects will, in turn, affect QOL significantly [16]. The study conducted by Almalki et al [4,9] found that some demographic factors such as age, sex, experience and level of abroad.…”

Enhancing the quality of the work of employees and the overall productivity of an organization are considered the basic premises of Quality of Work Life (QWL). The purpose of this study is to examine the prevailing status of the level of QWL of Nurses at private hospitals in Bangladesh, to identify the critical factors influencing the QWL, and to suggest some strategies to improve the QWL. This study follows a mixed method approach to collect and analyze the data. This study reveals in terms of QWL of Nurses at private hospitals in Bangladesh that the nurses are suffering from considerable discrepancies in the working environment, job security, payment structure, promotion policy, overtime and shifting, and pressure on the job. Based on the findings, this study suggests some strategies for the concerned authorities to mitigate the sufferings of the nurses at private hospitals and ensure the QWL on it.
