“…[ 26 27 ] In addition, a reliability of 0.93 has been reported for the Mental Health scale, suggesting that the internal consistency method underestimated the reliability of that scale by about 3%. [ 28 ] The validity and reliability of the Persian translation of the questionnaire were confirmed in two studies by Asghari Moghaddam and Faghehi in two studies on Shahed University students. There were desirable internal consistency and reliability of all subscales of the questionnaire (test–retest coefficients of subscales ranged from 0.43 to 0.79 and Cronbach's alpha coefficients of subscales ranged from 0.70 to 0.85).…”

BACKGROUND: Given the relationship between positivity interventions and psychological problems, this study aimed to investigate the effect of positive thinking training on stress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life of hemodialysis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a quasi-experimental and interventional study conducted on 70 hemodialysis patients referred to Fasa hemodialysis centers, Iran, between April 2019 and October 2019. Patients were selected using a simple sampling method and randomly divided into control (n = 35) and intervention (n = 35) groups. The intervention group was trained on positive thinking skills in eight sessions of a workshop. Before and after the intervention, stress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in both the groups were measured using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 and Short Form-36 Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using paired t-test, independent t-test, Kolmogorov–Smirnov, and Chi-square tests. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the mean scores of stress, anxiety, depression, and quality of life in the two groups before the intervention.(P > 0.05), and in the control group, there was no statistically significant difference before and after the intervention (P = 0.092, P = 0.228, 0.280, respectively). In the intervention group, the mean score of stress and anxiety decreased from 23.65 ± 4.12 to 16.68 ± 4.41 (P < 0.001) and from 17.77 ± 5.15 to 14.57 ± 4.18 (P = 0.002), respectively, and that of the patients’ quality of life also increased from 35.19 ± 10.07 to 55.98 ± 11.71 (P < 0.001). However, the mean score of depression did not change significantly after the intervention (P = 0.689). CONCLUSION: According to the results of this study, the use of positive thinking intervention programs with other methods for hemodialysis patients’ care and treatment is recommended as a nonpharmacological, cost-effective, and uncomplicated method.

“…5 Quality of life measurement in TBI patients is highly recommended because it can be used as information to estimate complications suffered by patients, measure the effectiveness of treatment given to patients, and obtain information about their general health status. 6 One of the most comprehensive scales for measuring the quality of life for TBI patients is the Short Form-36 (SF-36). 7 This study aims to describe the quality of life of patients with severe brain injury after being treated at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Period 2018-2020 as well as evaluate and observe the limitations in the quality of life of severe brain injury patients after being hospitalized.…”

Highlight: Until today, Traumatic Brain Injury is still a major cause of death, disability, and a serious health issue Traumatic Brain Injury patients have a good quality of life if they get adequate therapy and on time interventions ABSTRACT Introduction: Approximately 90 million traumatic brain injury (TBI) cases worldwide exist yearly. TBI pathophysiology varies, which may cause diverse complications. These complications may decrease the patients’ quality of life. Objective: Describing the quality of life of traumatic brain-injured patients after being treated at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Period 2018-2020. Methods: This research is a descriptive cross-sectional study using SF-36 questionnaire data from patients with post-severe brain injury at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital in 2018-2020. Results: The value of the physical component (59.9) and mental component (68.6) in patients with severe brain injury at Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital showed a good quality of life, with values in the SF-36 domains, namely physical function (58.2), physical limitations (46.7), body pain (73.6), general health (61.3), vitality (65.3), social functioning (72.5), emotional limitations (60), and mental health (76.5) is above the threshold value (50) except for physical limitations (46.7).Conclusion: Patients with severe brain injury had a good quality of life after receiving treatment in Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital.

The data on indicators of psychological and physical components of health as the life of persons with comorbid states, who have taken the course of rehabilitation using the means of physical therapy, are given. Generally accepted method for calculating the components of the MOS SF-36 application form was applied in the research. It has been established that regardless of the type of chronic comorbid diseases or states, the physical component of health (PCS) is higher compared to the psychological component of health (MCS) in the integral indicator of quality of life. An individually compiled program of physical therapy, as a basic component of rehabilitation, has been positively reflected on the quality of life by increasing the psychological health indicator by 20.9%. An objective is the analysis of the dynamics of the components of the life quality in the process of 14-day program of physical therapy in patients with comorbid states. Materials and methods. 34 students of Lesia Ukrainka Volyn National University with various combinations of chronic diseases and states were researched. They have taken a 14-day rehabilitation course on the basis of the Western Rehabilitation and Sports Center of the National Committee of Sports of Disabled Persons of Ukraine during a rehabilitation meeting of persons with disabilities. The quality of life was evaluated by the method of two-time anonymous interviews using Medical Outome Study Short Form-36 (MOS SF-36). The statistical data processing was carried out using the MedStat program. The results. During the initial interview it was found out that among the components of physical and psychological aspects of health, the RP indicators were reflected most negatively on the life quality which characterize the activities conditioned by the physical state, operation at work, at home, and the VT indicator, which reflects vital activity as well. Focused 14-day rehabilitation program contributed to improve their values more than a third part of previous one. The PF indicator, that certifies the physical activity of the person, refers to the components that increase the general indicator of life quality of the students with comorbid states. The SF indicator refers to these components as well. It certifies the social activities of the above mentioned persons. Analyzing the dynamics of all indicators of life quality in the process of rehabilitation meeting, it follows that the range of changes varies from 4.2% to 41.7%. Regarding correlation links between the indicators of life quality, there were identified three direct links of moderate force at the beginning of the research: between PF and RE (R = 0.66); between GH and RE (R = 0.53) indicators; between VT and MH indicators (R = 0.62). After the rehabilitation program using physical therapy, a significant negative link between the values of BP and PF (R = -0.64) has been formed. Positive correlation of moderate force appeared between the GH and RP indicators (R = 0.53); between the MH and RP indicator (R = 0.59), GH (R = 0.58), VT (R = 0.63). Conclusions. The comorbid state is negatively reflected on the quality of life, on the perception of capabilities and restrictions. The two-week rehabilitation course using physical therapy means allowed participants of the research to change the perception of their state, capabilities and restrictions in everyday life.
