Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the related factors of quality of life (QOL) among middle-male with chronic liver disease. Method: The participants in this study were 110 patients with chronic liver disease who were recruited from the outpatient clinic of hospital. Between March and May 2014, data were collected through questionnaires and medical record review. Data analysis was performed using PASW (SPSS) 19.0 program, and one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and enter multiple regression analysis. Results: The mean QOL of this study was 48.16/100. The significant correlates of QOL were anxiety-depression (${\beta}$=.33, p<.001), symptom experience (${\beta}$=.15, p=.001), health perception(${\beta}$=.31, p<.001), disease status(${\beta}$=.17, p=.022), spouse (${\beta}$=.23, p=.001), and these variables explained 68.6% of variance in QOL. Conclusion: The study suggests that psychological aspects are an important factor in explaining QOL of the middle-male with chronic liver disease. Screening and minimizing anxiety-depression could be effective strategies in enhancing QOL of middle-male with chronic liver disease.

본 연구의 목적은 중년기 남성 만성 간 질환자의 삶의 질에 대한 관련요인을 알아보고자 시도되었다. 연구 방법은 병원에서 외래치료를 받는 110명의 환자를 대상으로 설문조사와 전자의무기록지를 활용하였다. 자료분석은 PASW (SPSS) 19.0 프로그램을 이용하여, one-way ANOVA, Pearson 상관관계와 다중회귀분석하였다. 연구결과는 중년기 남성 만성 간 질환자의 삶의 질은 48.16점/100점이었으며, 불안과 우울, 증상경험, 건강지각, 질병상태와 배우자가 있는 경우에서 유의하게 나타났으며, 이들 요인은 삶의 질을 68.6% 설명하였다. 결론은 중년기 남성 만성 간 질환자의 삶의 질은 불안과 우울의 정서적 요인이 주요 요인이므로, 불안과 우울을 감소시킬 수 있는 간호중재전략의 개발을 제안한다.
