Специјална едукација и рехабилитација - Поремећаји језика / Special education and rehabilitation - Language disorders

Будући да афазија оставља трајне последице на психосоцијалном плану, последњих година се доста пажње поклања квалитету живота погођених особа. Циљ овог истраживања је био утврђивање утицаја типа и тежине језичког поремећаја на квалитет живота особа са афазијом. Узорак је чинило 60 испитаника оба пола (32 особе мушког и 28 особа женског пола), старосне доби од 30 до 70 година. У оквиру овог истраживања тестирана је и контролна група коју је чинило 60 испитаника без неуролошког оштећења и језичког поремећаја. Групе су уједначене према полу, старости, образовном нивоу и брачном статусу. Дијагноза афазије је постављена Бостонским дијагностичким тестом за афазије БДАЕ, који је адаптиран за српско говорно подручје. На основу експресивних карактеристика спонтаног говора сачињене су две групе испитаника. Прву групу са афазијом чинило је 30 испитаника са нефлуентним облицима афазија, а другу 30 испитаника са флуентним облицима афазија. У групу са нефлуентним афазијама укључени су испитаници са Брокином (15) и испитаници са транскортикалном моторном афазијом (15), док су групу са флуентним афазијама чинили испитаници са Верникеовом афазијом (15) и испитаници са транскортикалном сензорном афазијом (15). У односу на тежину афазије, испитаници су подељени у две групе: 1.испитаници са лаком афазијом и 2.испитаници са тешком афазијом. У истраживању су коришћена три инструмента за процену квалитета живота: 1. Скала за мерење квалитета живота специфичног за афазију (Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale-39 – SAQOL-39; Hilari et al., 2003) 2. Скала за мерење квалитета комуникативног живота (Quality of Communication Life Scale – ASHA-QCL; Paul et al., 2004) 3. Инвентар/Упитник за мерење квалитета живота( the Quality of Life Inventory – QOLI; Frisch, 1994). Резултати процене Скалом квалитета живота специфичног за афазију су показали да пацијенти са афазијом имају знатно нарушен квалитет живота у поређењу са контролном групом. Квалитет живота је нарушен у групама испитаника са флуентним и нефлуентним афазијама. Лошији квалитет живота утврђен је код испитаника са тежим степеном афазије у поређењу са испитаницима са афазијом лакшег степена. Резултати Скале квалитета комуникативног живота су показали да испитаници са флуентним и нефлуентним афазијама имају лош квалитет комуникације у свакодневном животу. Већи степен оштећења комуникације утврђен је у групи испитаника са тешком него у групи испитаника са лаком афазијом. Резултати добијени применом Инвентара квалитета живота су показали да испитаници са афазијом имају знатно нарушено задовољство животом у поређењу са контролном групом испитаника. Снижен ниво задовољства утврђен је и код испитаника са флуентним и нефлуентним афазијама. Нижи ниво задовољства утврђен је код испитаника са тешком афазијом него код испитаника са лаким степеном афазије. Закључено је да особе са афазијом генерално испољавају снижен квалитет живота и да тежина афазије представља посебно значајан…

▼ Background: Balancing treatment-related gains and losses with respect to quality of life (QoL) and length of life (LoL) is common in cancer. Little is known about patient preferences for QoL versus LoL and preference stability in the setting of adjuvant therapy. An appropriate assessment tool could inform both patient and clinician. Objectives: Primary – to describe the distribution and stability of preferences for QoL versus LoL in early cancer, using scores obtained on the Quality Quantity Questionnaire (QQQ). Secondary –to determine concurrent scores on three other questionnaires to inform the interpretation of the QQQ and to test the validity of the QQQ. To examine the association between sociodemographic variables, type of cancer and preferences for QoL versus LoL. To trial the QQQ with non-metastatic cancer patients, and to discuss possible cultural influences in relation to studies from different countries. To further develop the Daily Time Trade Off (TTO) instrument, and to trial it with non-metastatic patients. Design: an observational, prospective, cohort study. Assessment following diagnosis and approximately 4 months later. Setting: Dunedin Hospital, New Zealand. Participants: Baseline - 44 adult patients (70% participation rate) receiving either adjuvant chemotherapy for breast (n=15) or bowel (n=14) cancer, or radiotherapy for prostate (n=15) cancer (mean age, 57 [SD, 12.1] years). 21 men, 23 women. Follow-up – 39 patients (breast n=13, bowel n=11, prostate n=15) (mean age, 56 [SD, 12.0] years). 20 men, 19 women. Measurements: The QQQ questionnaire, supplemented with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G), Daily Time Trade-off (TTO), EuroQol (EQ-5D), and a socio-demographic checklist. Results: Primary – at baseline 75% of adjuvant patients did not report a clear preference for QoL versus LoL; 20% preferring LoL (n=9), 5% preferring QoL (n=2). There was a significant association between baseline and follow-up scores (r=0.84, n=39, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in QQQ scores from baseline (mean 15.9, SD 6.3) to follow-up (mean 16.8, SD 5.6), p=0.093. With an estimated increase of 0.95, clinically significant changes could not be ruled out. Exploratory subgroup analyses showed significant positive changes for women (baseline mean 16.4, SD 5.5; follow-up mean 17.9, SD 5.1; p=0.029), and for people with a degree (baseline mean 15.2, SD 6.3; follow-up mean 17.2, SD 6.9; p=0.010). Secondary –No significant associations between socio-demographic variables, type of cancer, and baseline QQQ score. No significant associations between the QQQ and the FACT-G, TTO or EQ-5D. Conclusions: Most adjuvant patients do not express a clear preference for QoL versus LoL. A small minority do, so assuming an individual’s preference is inappropriate. Results indicate good relative and absolute stability of preference using the QQQ, although there may be an increase in preference for QoL for women and people with a degree. Other socio-demographic variables, cancer… Advisors/Committee Members: Perez, David (advisor).

▼ Abstract provided by author; Literature has found that paraplegic as well as quadriplegic individuals are presented with a range of challenges, which are similar as well as frequent amongst them. These include stigmatisation, discrimination, problems related to family, work and independence. Health problems such as bowel and bladder control, infections and pressure sores, as well as related psychological problems are also common (Lustig, 2005). Paralysis impacts on all areas of an individual's life, because it has physical, psychological, social, and environmental effects. Thus, it impacts on the individual's overall well-being, their level of satisfaction with life, as well as their perception of the quality of their life; The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the themes that represent quality of life and the meaning of quality of life, as defined by adults with paraplegia or quadriplegia. Purposive sampling was employed and seven people (3 females, 4 males; 3 persons with quadriplegia, 4 with paraplegia) participated in this study; Semi-structured interviews, which present the participants with maximum opportunity to convey their perceptions, were utilised for data collection. The semi-structured interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed through interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA). IPA is prescribed as the most effective way of psychological studies; Based on the findings of this study, quality of life is summarised as the evaluation of an individual's life, which is determined by the individual's health, psychological wellbeing, living environment,relationships, as well as their future outlook. Additionally, the results indicate that quality of life, regardless of the severity of the injury is related to the following fourteen themes: aspirations, emotional wellbeing, identity, recreation, spontaneity, effort and comfort, stigma and discrimination, mobility and accessibility, relationships, resources, coping, independence, physical wellbeing, and work and money; These findings may provide the MVA Fund and other rehabilitation institutions with information necessary to help identify most relevant professionals to assist their clients with rehabilitation. In addition, the findings may also be used in the development of programs to enhance quality of life for motor vehicle accident survivors, following severe spinal cord injuries Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor), (advisor), (advisor).

▼ Background Participation is an essential component of child development that influences long term mental and physical health. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) profoundly affects an individual’s ability to relate and reciprocally interact with peers within their environment; therefore children with ASD are at considerable risk for limited participation in everyday activities. Although ASD is not considered a syndrome with obvious motor deficits, emerging evidence suggests the presence of motor impairments. Fundamental motor and active play skills are vital for and practiced through peer interaction. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the relationship between motor proficiency and participation, examine the role of physical activity in this relationship, and determine the influence of level of participation on quality of life in school-aged children with ASD. Methods School-aged children diagnosed with ASD were recruited through a previous research database at the University of Rochester. The Children’s Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE) was completed to measure overall and physical activity participation. Motor skills were assessed through the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2 Short Form. The Social Responsiveness Scale and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory measured social characteristics and behaviors, and overall quality of life, respectively. Multivariable linear regression models examined the associations of motor proficiency with physical activity and participation, and participation and quality of life. Results Sixty-eight children with an average age of 9.4 years and IQ score of 98 participated in the study. Motor proficiency scores were in the below average range, one standard deviation below the mean. The association between motor proficiency and participation was statistically significant. The association between physical activity participation and motor skill proficiency was also statistically significant. Participation and quality of life demonstrated both statistical and clinical significance. Greater participation intensity (frequency) led to higher self-perceived quality of life. Conclusion School-aged children with ASD demonstrated impaired motor proficiency. Improved motor skills were associated with increased participation in a variety of activities, including physical activities. More frequent participation increased quality of life. Attention to motor assessment in children with ASD may allow improved participation in all activities and therefore greater quality of life.

▼ There is an increasing number of people with neurological conditions. These people are living longer due to advances in critical care medicine and increasing survival and life expectancy rates among an aging population. As a result, neurological conditions and their attendant disabilities impact over 3.7 million people living in Canada and account for large health care expenditures, both by the publicly funded health system and through out-of-pocket payments by individuals with the conditions. Our main objective is to discover, other factors besides age, that affect the quality of life for Canadians living with neurological conditions. We use nationally representative population based survey data to identify risk factors, trends, health care and general life satisfaction for select neurological conditions found among Canadians. In order to inform health systems planning and direction of financial resources, policy and services, especially amidst grim predictions on the overall burden of these conditions on the Canadian economy, we examine specific neurological conditions (Alzheimer’s disease (AD)/dementia, Parkinson’s disease (PD), stroke effects, migraine headaches, multiple sclerosis (MS), cerebral palsy, epilepsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington's disease, Tourette’s syndrome, dystonia, muscular dystrophy, hydrocephalus, spina bifida, brain and spinal cord tumors, and brain and spinal cord injuries), either independently or collectively in four distinct studies. In the first study, chapter 3, we confirmed through our systematic review and meta-analysis that toxic occupational exposures are significant risk factors for the development of Parkinson’s disease especially that confirmed by a neurologist or nurse using standardized diagnostic methodology. The second study analyzed the trends in AD/dementia prevalence by age, gender, education and geographic regions and found increasing prevalence across all strata of the community, with more men than women living with AD/dementia in the community. Increases in prevalence over the twenty-year period were less among those with higher levels of education and in the 45-64 age category, while prevalence was higher in the 65-79 age category and ballooned in the 80+ age categories of both men and women. The third study assessed the relationship between self-reported unmet care needs and general health care satisfaction, satisfaction with physician and satisfaction with hospital services among Canadians with neurological conditions. We found that patient satisfaction was positively influenced by quality and availability of provincial and received care and being satisfied with life in general while unmet health care needs and receiving emergency services at the hospital had a negative impact on patient satisfaction. The final study which examined the association between spirituality/religiosity and general life satisfaction among Canadians with neurological conditions found a protective relationship between spiritual values providing strength to face everyday… Advisors/Committee Members: D'Arcy, Carl, Szafron, Michael, Lebrecque, Mary-Ellen, Meng, Xiangfei, Farag, Marwa.

▼ The aim of this research was to explore the impact of a relocation project in the quality of life. The study was conducted in the state of Tabasco, Mexico and it considered a subjective and an objective approach. The study included relevant variables in three dimensions: social, economic and environmental. Relocatees used to live on the riverbanks close to downtown and they were, voluntarily or involuntarily, relocated into two suburban areas far away from their original homes. This study was designed to compare the quality of life before and after being relocated and also to compare the objective and subjective quality of life approaches. Finally, the study made a quality of life distinction between both new localities. Data were collected through a survey that was carried out face to face with the relocatees. It was found that the quality of life of the relocatees, either objectively or subjectively, decreased after being moved to the new sites. Although people who were relocated to the closest location to downtown showed a better quality of life than people from the other location. People who live closer to downtown rated better their subjective and objective conditions than the inhabitants of farthest neighborhood; however in both neighborhoods the perception of people about their quality of life was worse assessed than the objective indicators showed. Any relocation process, whether voluntary or not, involve a change in the lifestyle of those affected. The extent to which this change affects quality of life will depend on how the relocation process is carried out and the degree of divergence between the former and current location. It can be expected that relocatees improve their quality of life over time. This is a characteristic of adaptability and evolution of societies. Therefore, future research could determine if this phenomenon occurs or not in these two new locations.

▼ BACKGROUND: Over the past several decades, specialized summer camps for children with cancer have been shown to have various positive results in those who attend. Family camps have become increasingly popular over the past few years, but the efficacy of family camps for specialized populations has not been well established through research. In addition, few studies have addressed the benefits of the camp experience over time, especially in regard to its impact on quality of life. The aim of this study was to learn whether or not the family camp experience increases the quality of life of families with a child with cancer, and whether or not these changes are maintained after the camp experience ends. In addition, this study examined the impact of camp on levels of hope, and analyzed how hope and social support contribute to the quality of life of those who attend camp. SUBJECTS: A total of 66 families participated in this study. Participants include parents, cancer patients or survivors, and siblings. Thirty-nine families who attended a specialized weekend camp participated in the study, and a control sample of 27 families who did not attend camp was recruited as well. METHOD: Questionnaire data was collected at three time points: pre-camp, post-camp, and a three-month follow up. Measures included a demographic questionnaire, age appropriate versions of the PedsQLTM 4.0 Generic Core Scales, the PedsQLTM 2.0 PedsQLTM 2.0 Family Impact Module, the Hope Scale (Adult and Child versions), the Young Children’s Hope Scale, and a brief follow-up questionnaire. RESULTS: Quality of life did not significantly increase in the camp group in the overall family unit. However, quality of life was shown to be significantly higher in the camp group than the control group at the beginning and end of camp. Siblings demonstrated a significant increase in quality of life when examined separately from the family unit. No significant changes in hope or differences in hope between groups were observed. DISCUSSION: Though this study did not demonstrate the efficacy of family camp as predicted, it did show that individual family members are impacted by camp in different ways. Camp has been show to benefit siblings in particular, which is indicated by improvement in quality of life, hope, and social support in this population. This study also shows that different results may be found using different measures of the same variables.

▼ Background: The EORTC QLQ-C30 and the FACT are two commonly used Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) instruments in cancer clinical trials, but there is limited data comparing them. The NCIC CTG PR.3 clinical trial compared Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) alone with ADT plus radiation therapy (ADT + RT) in prostate cancer patients. In a PR.3 sub-study, we conducted a comparison of the EORTC QLQ-C30+3 and prostate module (PR17) to FACT-P by employing a cluster randomization of 29 participating North American centers to HRQL instrument used on the PR.3 clinical trial. Purpose: To compare the responsiveness of two HRQL instruments to short-term radiation effects and long-term hormone effects in men treated for locally advanced prostate cancer on a clinical trial. Methods: 311 patients randomized to the PR.3 sub-study were included for analysis. HRQL was assessed at baseline, 6 monthly (for 2 years), then annually; compliance exceeded 85% to three years. The ability of each HRQL instrument to detect RT toxicity was determined by comparing mean change scores (ADT vs. ADT + RT arms) at 6 months by HRQL instrument (Wilcoxon rank-sum). The ability of each instrument to detect proportions changed (at 6 or 36 months) was determined by calculating proportions (clinically meaningful change defined as 10% change from baseline) then comparing between instrument groups (chi-square). Finally, we compared instruments on time to clinically meaningful worsening of HRQL using Kaplan-Meier survival curves/Cox regression. Results: The FACT-P detected significant between-treatment arm differences in urinary symptom change scores at 6 months. The EORTC QLQ-C30+3/PR17 detected significant between-treatment arm differences in diarrhea and bowel/rectum symptom changes at 6 months. For functional domains and fatigue, no significant between-instrument differences were observed in proportions of patients improved/stable and worsened at and up to 36 months. However, the FACT-P reported a faster rate of clinically meaningful HRQL decline for physical and role/functional domains. Conclusions: When randomly assigned to patients participating in a clinical trial, the FACT-P and EORTC QLQ-C30+3/PR17 instruments differed in responsiveness to changes in urinary and bowel symptoms attributable to radiotherapy. The FACT-P was more responsive to change in physical and role function over time.

M.Phil.

This is a descriptive, literature based study that examines retirement from a Personal and Professional Leadership(PPL) perspective. The aim of this study is to determine whether a PPL perspective can contribute towards better quality of life with retirement. Retirement should be a golden period. This is, however, often not the case and quality of life often deteriorates with retirement. Retirement is described and the various phases of retiryment are discussed; planning, opportunity, the honeymoon phase, the disillusionment phase, reorientation and finally stability. This study identifies the potential problematic life domains that can affect quality of life during retirement. Each life dimension is discussed comprehensively and the conclusion is reached that all life dimensions remain vitally important during retirement: -Physical needs: This includes the health of the person including the need for food; clothing and a place to stay. -Intellectual needs: Here the need for stimulation and the ability of the person to respond intellectually new situations is examined. -Social needs: The need to love and be loved is explored as well as the importance of relationships. -Emotional needs: The influence of emotions is noted and emotional management is discussed. -Spiritual needs: Spiritual intelligence is discussed and this domain is identified as one of the most important. -Financial needs: Sufficient planning and management of finances is essential. The relationships between attitude, meaning of life and quality of life are explored. A positive attitude is found to positively influence a person's quality of life, Similarly, a person who experiences life as valuable and meaningful will experience better quality of life as opposed to someone to whom life is meaningless. The conclusion is drawn that it depends largely on the individual(inside outmodel) what quality of life is experienced after retirement. The most salient results of this study are: -That the quality of life experienced after retirement is a complex matter. -The various life dimensions-physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual and financial-all impact the quality of life experience dafter retirement. -It is noted that the physical dimension is very important after retirement and that the pro-active management of the physical is vital to quality of life. -The spiritual domain is identified as the core dimension which influences all other dimensions and it must be imbalance. -Attitude is important. A positive attitude can improve quality of life. -Meaningful life can clearly affect quality of life. In essence each person must find the meaning for their existence, Once meaning is found,quality of life improves. -PPL can assist retired people to improve their quality of life. -Quality of life after retirement can be achieved through planning and pro-active management. Often lack of management and planning results in fear and anxiety. The author of this study recommends..that: -PPL courses be developed that are specifically aimed at people…

▼ As our population ages so too will the number of people with dementia increase. For some time there have been concerns expressed by campaigners for people with dementia about quality of life and the safety and quality of care delivered for those in rest homes, particularly for residents in the specialised dementia rest homes. Little is known about the quality of life of people with dementia from their own subjective points of view, in particular in reference to the corresponding opinions of family members and healthcare workers. The aim of this study was to look at views of quality of life for residents living in a specialist dementia level rest home, and how they were expressed. The study gathered data from four “cases” covering three viewpoints in each case: the resident with a moderate dementia, a key family member and a key residential healthcare worker involved in their care. The study used a qualitative method, analysing data from these twelve recorded and transcribed interviews. The interviews were semi-structured following the line of questioning of the Quality Of Life–Alzheimer’s Disease (QOL-AD) assessment (Thorgrimsen, Selwood & Spector, 2003) (Appendix 1) followed by some more open-ended questions. Data were analysed and interpreted according to key themes and phrases and explored for similarities and differences using descriptive methodology. The main findings of this study are that quality of life has many dimensions and has differing meanings to each participant. The person with dementia’s subjective viewpoint is important in rating their own quality of life, however, using the “three voices” (resident, family and healthcare worker) made an authentic contribution, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of quality of life for the residents living with dementia. Despite being given a diagnosis of dementia, resident participants demonstrated awareness and an acceptance of their condition. Each resident participant described a better quality of life for themselves than that reflected in the opinions of the family members and healthcare workers. Another significant finding was that family relationships were seen to be important to the resident’s quality of life, not only as part of physical closeness but also as emotional attachment. These findings may lessen the degree of guilt and distress for family members in such situations. Studies of this type may also assist healthcare workers develop their ability to intervene to improve the quality of life of individuals with dementia rather than simply dealing with more medical or basic care aspects of the condition.

▼ The pursuit for improved productivity through human resources has its beginning in the early 1900's. Taylor's scientific management principles created an awareness regarding human resources. It was earlier considered as a mere instrument of production ready to work from dawn to dusk under whatever conditions and being motivated by the lure of money. From then onwards research and experiments have been undertaken to understand human beings at work and the ways to improve their job satisfaction, balanced with the aim of the organizations to combine better productivity with job and employee satisfaction. The concept of QWL (quality of work life) has originated from the continuous research process. The term QWL was introduced by Dav is (1972) at the first International QWL conference held in Toronto. The focus of this research concerns a study of the quality of work life for the employees at SARS in the Mmabatho Branch in the North West province. The aim of this paper was to determine whether and how quality of work life affects the satisfaction level of the employees and the implications of these findings suggest that the quality of work life at SARS can be enhanced by factors such as adequate income and fair compensation, safe and healthy working conditions, opportunities for career growth and development of human capabilities and social integration in the workforce. A convenience or accidental sampling was used for this study, out of93 questionnaires sent out, a total of 77 usable questionnaires were returned, representing an overall response rate of (82,8%). The study reveals that a clear and consistent communication of the organisational goals and objectives is essential to both employer and employees. The study also recommends that an establishment of new policies and practices that promote a workplace culture that stimulates employees with the aim of reducing stress, poor performance and low morale of employees. Alignments of organisational goals to day-to-day work by maintaining healthy working conditions: reduce high absenteeism levels and occupational burnout and fair remuneration of employees. The study also recommends that maintenance and open dialogue among the middle and junior employees.

▼ Purpose: Currently, a major obstacle in evidence-based otolaryngology is incorporating validated instruments into daily practice. To address this need, we proposed a series of interrelated projects which evaluate the utility of disease-specific health status instruments for patients in the ambulatory care setting. Aim 1 examined the ability of a disease-specific quality of life instrument to predict vocal diagnoses made via laryngoscopy/stroboscopy, as compared to common clinical inquiries about vocal characteristics. Aim 2 evaluated disease-specific and general health status to determine whether general health status data alone can accurately represent vocal health in this population. Aim 3 determined the extent to which voice-specific heath status contributes to general quality of life, when simultaneously adjusting for what have traditionally been considered more concerning comorbidities. Methods: Patients presenting for their first visit to a tertiary care academic medical center laryngology subspecialty clinic completed disease-specific health status instruments (Voice Handicap Index-10 [VHI-10] and Singing Voice Handicap Index-10 [SVHI-10]), common clinical queries, and a standardized global health instrument (Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System [PROMIS] global short form), as part of their routine clinical intake. Results were reviewed against objective voice diagnoses and patient comorbidity data obtained through chart review. For Aim 1, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) and sensitivity/specificity of the VHI-10 and mainstream clinical queries were determined. For Aim 2, Spearman rho analyses were applied to test the null hypothesis that there were no correlations between the VHI-10 or and PROMIS scores. For Aim 3, the influence of voice and comorbid conditions on general health status scores was assessed through multivariate ordinal regression. Results: For vocal fold paralysis, the VHI-10 score had an observed AUC of 0.78 (95% CI 0.68-0.88) and had better discrimination than 13 common clinical queries. For laryngeal stenosis, the VHI-10 score demonstrated moderate discrimination, with an associated AUC of 0.79 (95% CI 0.56-1.00) and higher discrimination than 5 common clinical queries. VHI-10 scores were moderately correlated with PROMIS social item scores (Spearman rho 0.37, p<0.0001), however there was no significant correlation between the SVHI-10 and PROMIS scores. In all analyses, voice-related quality of life was a significant predictor of general health status, even when adjusting for comorbid conditions (physical health β= -1.097, p<0.001; mental health β= -0.735, p<0.001; global item β= -1.334, p<0.001; social item β= -0.818, p<0.001). Conclusions: Our results indicate that (1) the VHI-10 is an effective predictor of some voice diagnoses, when compared to mainstream queries about vocal characteristics; (2) voice-specific measures correlate with the PROMIS assessment, however correlations are not so robust that voice-specific instruments and…

▼ CONTEXT: Moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries can negatively influence healthrelated quality of life (HRQOL) in adolescent patients for significant periods of time. The impact of sport-related concussion on adolescent HRQOL remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate adolescent student-athletes’ and their parents’ perceptions of the child’s health-related quality of life, one year post- sport-related concussion. DESIGN: Interpretive, qualitative study. SETTING: Secondary school. PATIENTS or OTHER PARTICIPANTS: Seven adolescent student-athletes, aged 12-17 years (2 male, 5 female), who sustained a sport-related concussion at least one year prior (15.3 + 2.8 months), along with one of their parents (n=7; 2 fathers and 5 mothers) participated in this study. DATA COLLECTION and ANALYSIS: Fourteen semi-structured interviews (7 adolescents and 7 parents) were completed. Interviews were transcribed and inductively analyzed by a team of 3 athletic trainers with 32 combined years of professional experience. Themes were negotiated through a consensual review process. Participant checks were completed to ensure trustworthiness of the results. RESULTS: Four major themes emerged from the data collected: (1) significant impact of symptomology (2) feelings of frustration (3) lack of academic accommodation and (4) the nature of interpersonal relationships. CONCLUSIONS: Physical and emotional function, academics, and interpersonal interactions can be negatively influenced by sport-related concussion as perceived by adolescent student-athletes and their parents. Education of parents and their children, along with school professionals, coaches, and teammates, remains a central component in the effective recognition and management of sport-related concussion. Secondary school districts may play a critical role in the concussion management process by establishing and implementing accommodation policies that alleviate student concerns relative to falling behind while ensuring a safe and timely return to normal school routines. Further, adolescent support systems must be considered throughout the recovery process. Advisors/Committee Members: Trevor Roiger.

▼ Compared to healthy peers, children with epilepsy, of which there are approximately 325,000 under the age of 15 in the United States, are at increased risk for lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) (Epilepsy Foundation, n.d.; Modi et al., 2009; Montanaro, Battistella, Boniver, & Galeone, 2004; Sabaz et al., 2003). A number of variables may affect HRQOL in children with epilepsy, including epilepsy specific variables, comorbidities, and child, family, and community variables (Lach et al., 2006). Few studies have examined how these variables predict changes in HRQOL over time for children with newly-diagnosed epilepsy using a disease specific measure. The aims of the current study were to: 1) examine changes in HRQOL scores of children with newly¬diagnosed epilepsy over two years using a disease specific measure (Quality of Life in Childhood Epilepsy Questionnaire [QOLCE] [Sabaz et al., 2003]) 2) examine clinical significance of changes in HRQOL scores 3) examine how seizures (dichotomized as present vs. absent) and antiepileptic drug (AED) side effects predict changes in HRQOL scores over the course of two years. One hundred and twelve caregivers of children from 4-12 with epilepsy participated in the study. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) revealed statistically significant increases of QOLCE-Overall scores and Physical Restrictions, Energy and Fatigue, Behavior, and General Health subscale scores from baseline to two years post-diagnosis. Calculated minimum clinically important difference (MCID) scores showed only QOLCE-Overall scores had clinically significant improvements over time. HLM analyses examined the role of seizures and AED side effects on HRQOL scores. Children who had seizures between visits had significantly lower Energy and Fatigue scores than children without seizures, although this difference disappeared by the end of two years. Children with higher side effects had lower Attention and Concentration, Memory, Language, and Anxiety scores compared to children with lower side effects. Unexpectedly, at baseline, children with higher side effects had higher Energy and Fatigue scores compared with children with lower side effects. However, by the end of two years children with higher side effects had lower scores compared to children with lower side effects. While, overall HRQOL may improve overtime for children with newly-diagnosed epilepsy, the results highlight the role AED side effects play for these children. Health-care providers need to continue to be sensitive to the potential of side effects and work with families and children to know what to expect when starting an AED for the first time. This education and guidance may help patients and families better be able to communicate with their health-care providers and create a better decision-making process.

▼ Objectives: Aims of this study were (1) determine if there was any difference in psychosocial well-being and quality of life (QoL) surgical orthodontic patient subjects and controls at different time points during and following treatment and (2) identify any change in the subjects’ QoL during and following treatment. Methods: The study was approved by The Ohio State University Institutional Review Board. Subjects were patients with facial skeletal mal-relationships whose proposed orthodontic treatment plans included orthognathic surgery. Controls were recruited and matched to subjects for age, sex, education level, and employment status at each time point. Subjects were evaluated at three time points: pre-treatment (T1), pre-surgery (T2), and post-treatment (T3 - six months to two years after removal of orthodontic appliances). Controls were not followed longitudinally; they were recruited to match subjects at each of the 3 time periods. To assess psychosocial well-being and condition-specific- and overall QoL, participants were asked to fill out the following questionnaires: Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), Beck’s Depression Index (BDI), Child’s Depression Inventory (CDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Form Y (STAI-Y), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-C). For depression and anxiety evaluation, BDI and STAI-Y, and CDI and STAI-C were used for adult and pediatric participants, respectively. Each of these instruments have been determined to be valid and reliable. Differences between the subjects at the different time points, as well as the differences between subjects and controls at each of the three time points were evaluated.Results: Four hundred and ninety-two surveys, controls and subjects, were collected. Twenty-four subjects completed surveys at all three time points, and 25 completed them at 2 time points. No significant differences between subject and control groups in age, sex, and, employment status were found. Controls had a higher level of education than subjects at T1. Quality of life was significantly worse for Subjects for the total OQLQ and for three of the four domains (social aspect, facial esthetics, oral function) (p<.01). Treatment significantly improved SWLS (p<=.0214) in subjects after treatment compared with pre-treatment in treated subjects. There were no significant differences between controls and subjects and within subjects for depression and anxiety, for both adults and children.Conclusion: Correction of facial skeletal mal-relationships by surgical orthodontics improved condition-specific and higher level, over-all quality of life in patients.

▼ The purposes of this study were 1) to explore the associations between individual factors, disease factors, family factors, social factors and quality of life ( QoL ), 2) to predict QoL in patients with chronic mental illness ( CMI ), and 3) to understand the needs of caregivers. A cross-sectional and cluster sampling was employed. Structured questionnaires, including a living conditions questionnaire and a psychotic symptom assessment scale, Caregiver Burden Scale, 5-item Brief Symptom Rating Scale ( BSRS-5 ), and the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-12 ( MOS SF-12 ) were used to collect data. Totally, 2023 patients were recruited, males 52.9%, females 47.1%, and a mean age of 44.99Â±12.09. Most of these cases were high school educated, unemployed, and had been hospitalized. 12.6% had a history of violence, 8.4% had a history of attempted suicide, 10% had substance abuse, and 5.4% had legal related issues. The most common diagnoses were schizophreniaï¼70.5%ï¼and affective disorderï¼19.7%ï¼. Single-factor analysis showed those who were unmarried, employed, younger, having less psychological problems, and low levels of psychological distress had better QOL. Besides, sex and education were not related to QOL in personal factors. Current psychotic symptoms and positive symptoms were negatively correlated with QOL. Schizophrenic patients and hospitalized patients reported higher QOL than bipolar patients and community patients in disease factors. Caregiverâs attitude and caregiverâs burden were negatively correlated with QOL in family factors. The unstable housing and community life dysfunction were negatively correlated with QOL in social factors. All significantly correlated variables were entered into hierarchical regression analysis followed the sequence of social factors, family factors, disease factors and individual factors. The results showed all four of these dimensions were significant predictors of MCS and PCS of QoL, explained variance 48.2ï¼ and 21.2ï¼, respectively. Conclusions: Individual factors and disease factors are the most important factors in predicting QoL in CMI patients. Second, family factors are more important than social factors in MCS, and social factors are more important than family factors in PCS. The above evidence indicates a wide range of factors must be considered to improve the QoL in CMI patients.

▼ Objectives: To report long-term clinical outcome in dogs treated for congenital portosystemic shunting (CPSS) with complete or partial ligation and to develop a scoring system to determine persistent shunting. Also to report the predictive value of pre-operative albumin, white blood cell count, fasting plasma ammonia concentration and fasting plasma bile acid concentration for the long-term outcome, and to determine the percentage of persistent and recurrent shunting in a group of patients that came back for a long-term follow up. Study Design: Retrospective study. Animals: 167 dogs with surgical attenuation of an intra- or extrahepatic CPSS. Procedure: Medical records of dogs with CPSS treated by ligation were reviewed pre- and postoperative short and long-term. Long-term information was obtained by telephone interviews with veterinarians and questionnaires sent to the owners. With use of the questionnaires a CPSS scoring system was developed. A randomized group of 21 dogs came back for a control visit for persistent or recurrent shunting. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the predictive value of pre-operative albumin, white blood cell count, fasting plasma ammonia concentration and fasting plasma bile acid concentration for persistent shunting after surgery. Results: Preoperatively the majority of the dogs suffered from decreased activity, decreased appetite, gastrointestinal signs and signs of hepatic encephalopathy. Dogs which had the ammonia metabolism tested (fasting plasma ammonia concentration, ammonia tolerance test), all had an abnormal ammonia metabolism. The fasting plasma bile acid concentration was above reference for the majority of dogs that were tested. During surgery the majority of the shunts were partially ligated. The postoperative mortality rate (< 1 month) was 11%. During the routine control visits after surgery all dogs of the study population were clinically improved. With the use of the questionnaires a basic scoring system for CPSS was developed. Preoperative a mean CPSS score of 43 (SD 27) was calculated, postoperative the mean CPSS score was 11 (SD 13). This improvement in CPSS score was significant (P < 0.001). During the extra control visit of the randomized group of dogs, 58% of the dogs had no shunting, 16% had asymptomatic shunting and 26% had symptomatic shunting. The CPSS score was also calculated for these dogs, which corresponded with the shunting classification. Conclusions: Complete or partial surgical ligation is an effective technique to improve the quality of life of dogs with CPSS. Owners are very satisfied with the result of the surgery. A basic clinical scoring system is developed to help diagnose portosystemic shunting, which is promising for the future. Advisors/Committee Members: Kummeling, A.

▼ Title: Standardized diagnostics for tinnitus at the Maastricht University Medical Center Background: Tinnitus can be defined as a continuous perception of a sound without an external source, with a prevalence of 10-15% in the general population. Tinnitus can be associated with a variety of psychological and psychiatric disorders. Caused by the uncertain pathophysiology and heterogeneity, diagnostics is largely based on patients’ report of symptoms. Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC) has designed a diagnostic and intervention model for tinnitus, based on usual care. Aim and research questions: The aim of the study was to take a first step in standardizing tinnitus diagnostics. The main research question was to determine the efficacy of the MUMC tinnitus model, based on the Tinnitus Questionnaire (TQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Consumer Quality Index (CQI). Method: In a prospective cohort study without control group, TQ and HADS were analyzed to determine effects and correlations and regression analysis were performed. CQI data were studied to examine patient satisfaction. Overall grades were calculated, TQ gradations and grades were correlated and questions regarding time span, the provision of information, the staff and coordination were clustered to discover points for improvement. Results: Correlation between TQ and HADS was strongly positive, HADS showed a predictive value for TQ. The mean overall grade for information and communication in the tinnitus team was 7.84, for expertise the general grade was 8.10, for service at the audiological center the grade was 7.99 and for overall tinnitus team the grade was 7.89. Patients were not satisfied about shared-decision-making. Conclusion: The results show that the MUMC tinnitus model is an effective model and is a good first step towards standardized care for tinnitus patients. Recommendations: Improvements regarding waiting time and shared-decision-making should be considered carefully. Advisors/Committee Members: Ewijk, Dr. L. van.
