The Quality of Life of the Patients with T Tube Placement
摘要
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of T-tube placement upon the quality of life. A total of 54 patients who have undergone biliary surgery and equipped with T-tube in a medical center were enrolled into the study. These patients have been followed-up at regular period at office and were personally visited by the author at time of this writing. According to our result, the quality of life index in patients with t-tube placement was 17.89. The quality of life encompassed relationship of closeness (21.33), family (21.23), health (17.05), psychosocial factor (16.87), and environment (16.41) in the order of decreasing score. The quality of life index was not affected by age, sex, education level, religion, marriage status, occupation, psychosocial support, ability of self-care, neither by number of admissions and duration of hospitalization. Of note, the quality of life index was inversely related to the change of life style affected by the presence of T-tube (r=-0.5453, p＜0.05), which could explain 29% of total variance of the life of quality. As a result, the more alterness of the life style was associated with T-tube placement, the less score of the quality of life index was attained Therefore, a well nursing care of the patients with T-tube duribng hospitalization, to teach them how to overcome the inconvenience of daily life inherently associated with T-tube, is the only way to improve the quality of life in such patients.
