Abstract:
Zusammenfassung. Der Short-Form Health Survey SF-8 ist ein Instrument zur Messung der gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität, einem wichtigen Outcomekriterium klinischer Studien und in den Gesundheitswissenschaften. Das Instrument ist eine Kurzform des häufig verwendeten SF-36, mit dem acht Dimensionen der subjektiven Gesundheit gemessen sowie zwei Summenskalen Körperlicher und Psychischer Gesundheit berechnet werden können. Der SF-8 wurde im Jahr 2004 im Rahmen einer bundesweit durchgeführten Mehrthemenbefragung eingesetzt. Basierend auf diesen Daten können erstmalig repräsentative Normdaten zum SF-8 (N = 2552) aus einer schriftlichen Befragung für die deutsche Bevölkerung vorgelegt werden. Die Referenzdaten werden alters- sowie geschlechtsdifferenziert berichtet und auf Zusammenhänge mit soziodemografischen Merkmalen analysiert. Seltene fehlende Werte in den Antworten weisen auf eine gute Akzeptanz des Instruments hin. Auch wenn der SF-8 in verschiedenen Subskalen mit Deckeneffekten behaftet ist, kann sein Einsatz aufgrund seiner Ökonomie empfohlen werden.

Abstract:
Examining health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in a rural setting can be beneficial for improving rural household policies and fostering public health promotion. The objective of this study was to measure the HRQOL and associated socioeconomic characteristics as well as test the reliability of the Amharic version of SF-8 (eight-item short form of HRQOL survey). A cross-sectional study was employed in three agroecologically different sites in rural Ethiopia, involving 270 household heads (218 male and 52 female) with a mean age ± standard deviation of 49 ± 12.88 years. The survey material consisted of a structured questionnaire for socioeconomic characteristics and SF-8 for HRQOL. The mean physical and mental component summary score of the whole sample was 30.50 ± 12.18 and 34.40 ± 7.26, respectively, well underneath the instrument average of 50. The SF-8 items showed excellent internal consistency in terms of both Cronbach’s α coefficients and item–total correlation. In stepwise multiple linear regression, the low-income group had worse self-perceived physical health than the higher-income groups. Likewise, a diversified livelihood had a profound influence on positive self-perceived physical health. These findings imply that developing and distributing wide-ranging socioeconomic and public health policies is crucial for effective health promotion in rural communities.

Abstract:
Objective: Falun Gong (FLG) is a practice of mind and body focusing on moral character improvement that includes meditative exercises. In this study, we explored perceived health status, healthcare resource utilization, and related factors among Taiwanese FLG practitioners, compared to themselves before practicing FLG, and also to the general Taiwanese norm, as reported by the 2001 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Methods: This cross-sectional study was based on a voluntary, paper-based survey conducted from October 2002 to February 2003 using the same Taiwanese SF-36 instrument employed by the NHIS. Primary outcomes included 8 SF-36 domain scores and the number of outpatient visits. One-sample t-tests, oneway ANOVA, and multivariate linear regression analyses were used. Results: The response rate was 75.6% (1210/1600). Compared to the norm, the study cohort had significantly higher scores in 6 of 8 SF-36 domains across sex and age (p < .05). Among those with chronic diseases, 70% to 89% reported that their conditions were improved or cured. Additionally, 74.2% and 79.2% participants stopped drinking alcohol and quit smoking; 62.7% reported decreased outpatient visits (mean before = 11.96; mean after = 5.87; norm = 14.4). Conclusions: In this cohort, FLG participants had higher perceived health scores than the population norm and reduced outpatient visits than before practice.

Abstract:
Object The most appropriate method to determine the quality of life of patients with intradural primary spinal tumors (IPSTs) is not still well established. Methods Clinical data in 234 patients who underwent surgery for intradural spinal disease were collected prospectively. The 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), a generic score scale, was administered to 148 patients with IPSTs to demonstrate if the survey can be used to effectively evaluate these patients. Forty-eight patients were excluded because they did not complete the protocol. The study was finally conducted with 100 patients (45 male and 55 female) with IPSTs, and the results were compared with those of 2 other scales: the McCormick scale and the Aminoff-Logue scale. Results Construct validity was demonstrated by confirming the hypothesized relationship between the scores of the SF-36 and the McCormick scale (p = 0.003), the Aminoff-Logue gait subscale (p = 0.025), the Aminoff-Logue micturition subscale (p = 0.013), and the Aminoff-Logue defecation subscale (p = 0.004). Reliability was demonstrated for all 8 SF-36 domain scales and the Physical Component Summary and the Mental Component Summary of the SF-36, where in each the Cronbach alpha satisfied the Nunnally criterion of > 0.85. Conclusions The authors' results demonstrated that SF-36 provides valid and reliable data for patients with IPSTs and that the survey can be used appropriately to evaluate these patients.

Abstract:
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an 8-week supervised exercise program on physiological measurements during treadmill walking, muscle strength, functional performance, and health status in older adults limited in physical function. Twenty-four participants were randomly assigned to an exercise group (EG, N = 13) or a control group (CG, N = 11), and were evaluated before and after the exercise program (EG) or 8-week period (CG). Evaluations included a progressive treadmill lest, strength testing, the Physical Performance Test (PPT), and the SF-36 Health Survey. The exercise program consisted of 3 sessions per week of brisk walking and strengthening exercises. The EG demonstrated increases in cardiorespiratory fitness and increases in treadmill walking time. The EG also demonstrated increases in force production in 3 of the 6 muscle groups that were tested. Both the EG and CG demonstrated improvements in PPT scores and in 2 health concepts on the SF-36 Health Survey.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Research has suggested that exposure to loneliness can have a powerful detrimental impact on health, including mental health. Addressing socially determined health inequity requires understanding of the situation of marginalized or vulnerable groups. People with disability are increasingly being recognized as one such group. Little population-based research has addressed the association between loneliness and health among working age adults with and without disability. Methods Secondary analysis of data collected in waves 8 and 9 of Understanding Society, the UK’s main annual household panel study. Results Rates of exposure to substantial loneliness were 25.4% (95%CI 23.5–27.3%) among adults with persistent disability (disability at W8 and W9), 15.4% (13.3–17.5%) among adults with disability onset (disability at W9 only), 12.3% (10.1–14.5%) among adults with disability offset (disability at W8 only), and 6.9% (6.5–7.3%) among adults with no disability. Exposure to loneliness was positively associated with the incidence (GHQ-12) and prevalence (SF-12 Mental) of mental health problems, but not the prevalence of physical health problems (SF-12 Physical). Disability status appeared to moderate the association between loneliness and health, with the difference between the persistent disability and no disability group increasing with exposure to greater levels of loneliness. Conclusion Loneliness may be an important determinant of the poorer mental health of working age adults with disability in the UK. Exposure rates are significantly higher than among the non-disabled population. The strength of association between exposure to loneliness and poorer mental health is greater for people with persistent disability than people with no disability.

Abstract:
Abstract Background The Short Form-36 Health Survey version 2 (SF-36v2) is a generic health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) instrument [1]. Tofacitinib is an oral, small molecule JAK inhibitor for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). In these exploratory analyses the concordance between total and partial Mayo scores and SF-36v2 scores was evaluated in patients with UC in the Phase 3 tofacitinib 8-week OCTAVE Induction 1&2 (NCT01465763; NCT01458951) and 52-week OCTAVE Sustain (NCT01458574) studies. Methods A repeated measures regression model was used to evaluate the relationship between total and partial Mayo scores (as predictor) and SF-36v2 component and domain scores. A sensitivity analysis to assess the linearity assumption was performed using Mayo score as a categorical anchor (represented by integer values 0–12 [total] or 0–9 [partial]). Previous analyses identified clinically important differences (CIDs) in total and partial Mayo scores as changes of 3 points and 2.25 points, respectively [2]. Mean differences in SF-36v2 component and domain scores were compared with their recommended group-level CID thresholds [3]. Results Clinically meaningful differences of 3 points and 2.25 points in total and partial Mayo scores, respectively, were generally associated with clinically meaningful differences in SF-36v2 component and domain scores, with the exception of Role-Emotional with partial Mayo score in the pooled induction studies and with total Mayo score in the maintenance study. In the induction studies, a 3-point difference in total Mayo score was associated with a mean difference exceeding CIDs in both the SF-36v2 Physical Component Summary score (mean improvement 4.5; 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.2, 4.7) and Mental Component Summary score (mean improvement 5.0; 95% CI 4.6, 5.3). Results were closely aligned when Mayo score was used as a categorical or continuous anchor, supporting a linear relationship between Mayo score and SF-36v2 scores (Figure). Similar results were observed in the maintenance study, and when assessing the relationship of partial Mayo score with SF-36v2 scores. Conclusion Clinically meaningful decreases in disease activity, as measured by Mayo score, were associated with clinically meaningful benefits in HRQoL, as measured by SF-36v2 component and domain scores. These findings highlight the impact that disease activity has on HRQoL and may assist with articulating the treatment effect of tofacitinib on specific domains. References

Abstract:
Objective: To characterize the impact of opioidinduced constipation (OIC) on healthcare resource use, work productivity, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients receiving chronic opioid therapy.Design: Data were collected via Internet questionnaires during the international National Health and Wellness Survey (NHWS) 2004 from individuals aged ≥18 years who reported taking opioids for ≥6 months. Healthcare resource utilization, Work Productivity, and Activity Impairment, and Short-Form 8 (SF-8) questionnaire responses were compared between those who did or did not report OIC.Results: Data were available from 2,430 individuals receiving opioids, of whom 359 reported OIC. Participants with OIC reported significantly more physician visits (mean difference 3.84 visits; p < 0.05) and alternative care provider visits (mean difference 1.73 visits; p < 0.05) over the previous 6 months than those without OIC; however, no significant differences in emergency room visits or number of days of hospitalization were observed. Respondents with OIC also reported significantly greater time missed from work, impairment while working, overall work impairment, and activity impairment (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). HRQOL scores were significantly lower in the OIC group than those without OIC on both the physical and mental components of the SF-8 questionnaire (p < 0.05 for both comparisons).Conclusions: The survey results reflect a negative impact of OIC on individuals’ HRQOL and on society in terms of healthcare resource use and work productivity beyond that imposed by patients’ pain conditions. These findings indicate a need for effective treatment for opioid-induced constipation in patients receiving chronic opioid therapy.

Abstract:
Social comparison influences well-being, especially during psychological threat. Social comparison outcomes have been theorized to depend on motivation, frequency, contrast versus identification, with a better- versus worse-off other. To reduce this complexity in the theory, 94 senior-housing residents were interviewed and cluster analysis was conducted. Four clusters emerged. Half the interviewees formed a cluster using only adaptive social comparison methods. Adaptives were contrasted with a cluster of indiscriminate comparers, a cluster striving for improvement, and a cluster of participants disagreeing with most questions. Clusters differed especially in patterns of downward identification, upward and downward contrast. Self-evaluation and uncertainty-reduction also differed between clusters; self-enhancement and self-improvement motivations did not. Cluster membership had no direct effect on well-being, but moderation analysis demonstrated threat-buffering of high neuroticism in the adaptive cluster. The benefits were not due to self-esteem or educational level. By separating individuals rather than behaviors, cluster analysis provides a fresh perspective.
