“…In particular, it was established that the SES and the level of education have less influence on HRQoL in adolescents with overweight (Krause, Ellert, Kroll, & Lampert, ). In one of the studies, a strong effect was confirmed of SES on the quality of life of patients with type 2 sugar diabetes (Hosseini Nejhad, Molavi Vardanjani, Abolhasani, Hadipour, & Sheikhzadeh, ). In two studies conducted at intervals of 15 years, the impact of SES and some psychological characteristics on HRQoL in patients with prostate cancer was confirmed (Klein et al., ; Penson et al., ).…”

“…Based on an analysis of the one‐dimensional evaluations and literature data (Hosseini Nejhad et al., ; Klein et al., ; Krause et al., ; Penson et al., ), we assumed that possibly the level of the influence of various SES parameters and blocks of parameters on HRQoL among patients with BPH of varying age would be different. We also assumed that the obtained volume of information, after being processed, would be enough for a preliminary comparison of the viability of “age‐as‐leveller” hypotheses and “cumulative advantage/disadvantage hypothesis” as regarding persons with BPH.…”

This study investigated the effect of socio-economic status (SES) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among persons with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The data were collected by way of surveying persons with BPH aged from 35 to 85 (937) and selected via random sample. The diagnosis was confirmed with the use of I-PSS questionnaires (8-19 points), OABq-AT (≥8 points) and daily urinations. A study on HRQoL was conducted using the SF-36 questionnaire. SES was evaluated using the patients' ambulance cards (F112U) and tax inspection documents with their written permission. Verification of the viability of the differences in the HRQoL level of patients with different SES was conducted in each age cohort using ANOVA. The goal of the multifactor regressive analysis using least weighted squares was identified as featuring the strongest relationships between SES and HRQoL. In comparing the average regression squares with average error squares, selection of the entry variables was conducted. Among persons with a BPH, the strongest relationship was discovered between profession, level of education, place of residence and HRQoL. A weaker relationship was identified between income and HRQoL, and there was no relationship between marital status and HRQoL. HRQoL among persons with a different level of SES figures aged 65+ proved homogeneous. We can expect HRQoL improvement among persons with BPH while increasing informedness on the possibilities for treating and improving help for workers of industrial and rural production residing in rural areas.

“…Patients with diabetes are also 2 to 4 times more likely to develop cardiovascular complications and have a mortality rate of 2 to 5 times higher than nondiabetics. They have a lower QOL compared to those without chronic diseases (8,9). Funnel (2006) reported that most of patients (85.2%) experience high levels of distress during diagnosis, including shock, anger, anxiety, guilt, depression, and despair (10).…”

Background: Improving health quality of life (QOL) for patients with type 2 diabetes are ongoing challenges for health care providers. Education can significantly reduce the chances of developing long-term complications of diabetes. Currently, there is a need to test the effects of a video tape program. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of video training programs on QOL of patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients and Methods:This study with the quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was conducted in the outpatient clinic of Golestan hospital in Ahvaz city, Iran, in 2014. Thirty patients were selected on the basis of a nonrandomized sampling. Each patient was assessed before starting the educational intervention by questionnaires about educational requirements and Iranian version of the Short-Form 36 (SF-36) health survey. After determining educational needs, a video-tape educational program was designed based on the principles of patient education and also through counseling with the experienced endocrinologist and nutritionist. This movie was shown to the patients for five one-hour sessions in two weeks. The questionnaire of QOL was completed one month after implementation of the educational program. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and paired t-test using SPSS software. P values of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Results showed that there was a significant increase in general health perception (P = 0.033), physical functioning (P = 0.001), role physical (P = 0.000), social functioning (P = 0.001), pain (P = 0.002), and mental health (P = 0.001); however, there was no statistically significant increase in energy and fatigue and role emotional. Conclusions: Our educational intervention with the video information method can improve the QOL of patients with type 2 diabetes. Additionally, an approach to patient education based on video may serve as a choice for people with diabetes to raise their disease-related knowledge in order to care for themselves and improving the QOL.

“…(Saffari et al, 2015) Six studies used Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) along with ED-5D including the paper we published. (Seyedifar et al, 2016, Goudarzi et al, 2016, Hosseini Nejhad et al, 2013, Javanbakht et al, 2012, Assadi&Afshari, 2016 (Yousefi et al, 2016) Another cross-sectional study, gathered data by using a socio-demographic questionnaire, EQ-5D, and SF-36 instruments on patients with β-thalassemia. (Javanbakht et al, 2015) Mean EQ-5D-3L index score in psoriasis patients was 0.62, which is lower than experienced by patients with type 2 diabetes (0.70), breast cancer (0.69) and beta thalassemia (0.86) patients In Iran (Table 32).…”

(Karyani et al, 2016) Another study also used ED-5D with information about participants' demographic in order to conduct their survey on patients with type 2 diabetes.…”
