青光眼病人的生活品質測量
Quality of Life Measures in Patients with Glaucoma
摘要
青光眼可以四種方式來影響生活品質，包括視覺功能下降，害怕失明的心理因素，手術或藥物治療產生的副作用，返診治療的經濟負擔。因此，生理、心理及社會的問題（與疾病本身或治療有關）現今被視為評估青光眼病患結果之重要部分。問卷量表可作為臨床治療選擇的依據，亦可以教育病患，讓他們瞭解目前疾病控制的狀況，而能夠遵循醫囑，持續接受治療，並定期追蹤檢查。此外，其結果可以幫助臨床醫師為每位青光眼病患找出最適切的治療方式。

Glaucoma may affect quality of life (QOL) in four different ways, including worsening visual function, the adverse psychological impact of fearing blindness, the potential side effects of treatment, and the financial burden of clinic visits or relevant therapy. Thus, physiological, psychological, and social problems (related to the disease per se and/or to its treatment) are regarded as important parts of the overall rationale for suitably assessing a glaucoma patient’s overall outcome. Certain questionnaire measures can be used to educate participating patients to help to provide clinicians with relevant information about such individuals. Further, the results of such questionnaires may help to make such individuals better understand their disease, and therefore help such individuals comply with the medical directives of their clinicians. Further, the results of questionnaires may help clinicians design the most fitting therapy for individual patients.
