Assessment of quality of life (QOL) is a new method to investigate the effectiveness of dietary regimen. Particularly, diet-related QOL is the most appropriate method to estimate social and psychological problems originated from dietary regimen practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diet-related QOL and the correlation between diet-related QOL and health-related QOL, and dietary regimen practice in online diabetes self-help patients who practice the dietary regimen. Sixty one subjects who intended to practice dietary regimen were recruited from online diabetes self-help community, and instructed to fill-up the self report questionnaires. Contents of questionnaire were comprised of general characteristics, clinical characteristics, dietary compliance, and dietary regimen practice. As a result, the mean score of the 'Dietary impact' among the diet-related QOL sub-scales was the lowest suggesting most of the subjects suffer from burden of dietary regimen practice. The "Dietary impact" was correlated with "Taste", "Convenience" and "Cost" (p < 0.05). "Self-care" and "Satisfaction" were positively associated with well-controlled blood glucose and dietary regimen compliance, but negatively associated with "Dietary impact". Diet-related QOL was significantly correlated with the Health-related QOL, particularly the mental and social component (p < 0.05). Diet-related QOL was negatively associated with BMI, and self monitoring blood glucose was negatively correlated with "Self-care" (p < 0.05). In conclusion, Diet-related QOL might be appropriate to evaluate the effects of dietary regimen or nutrition education. The need for dietary education of cognitive-behavioral strategies and problem-solving ability is required.

혈액투석 식사요법을 실천하고 있는 말기 신부전 환자들을 대상으로 식사관련 삶의 질을 측정하고 식사관련 삶의 질과 식사요법 실천정도, 건강관련 삶의 질, 위장관 증상과의 관계를 살펴본 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 대상자들의 평균 연령은 53.0세, 남성의 비율이 58.4%, 운동을 하는 대상자는 55.4%, 흡연비율은 11.9%, 음주비율은 10.9%로 대체적으로 자기관리를 하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 대상자들의 66.3%가 영양교육 경험이 있었다. 합병증으로 당뇨가 38.6%, 고혈압이 32.7%이었고, 위장관 증상으로 대상자의 72.3%가 변비, 14.9%가 과민성 장 증후군인 것으로 나타났다. 2) 식사요법 실천정도는 55점 만점에 35.4점으로 나타났고, 식사요법 실천정도가 상승할수록 식사요법과 관련된 비용, 자기관리에 대한 만족감 영역의 삶의 질이 증가 (p < 0.05)하는 것으로 나타났다. 3) 식사관련 삶의 질은 건강관련 삶의 질과 여러 항목들과 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났고 (p < 0.05, p < 0.01), 특히 만족감 영역, 정신적 영역에서의 관련성이 높은 것으로 나타났다 (p < 0.01). 4) 변비가 있는 대상자의 식사관련 삶의 질은 변비가 없는 대상자에 비해 맛, 편의성, 식사에 대한 부담감 영역의 식사관련 삶의 질이 유의적으로 낮았고 (p < 0.05), 과민성 장 증후군이 있는 대상자의 맛, 식사에 대한 부담감 영역 (p < 0.05)의 식사관련 삶의 질이 유의적으로 낮았다. 5) 대상자들의 식사관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 변수들에 대한 다중회귀 분석 결과, 건강관련 삶의 질 (p < 0.05)과 변비 (p < 0.01)가 식사관련 삶의 질에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 식사요법을 실천중인 혈액투석 환자들은 식사요법 실천정도가 높았으나, 식사요법으로 인한 부담감이 크고 전반적인 건강영역의 삶의 질이 저하되어 있고, 더불어 위장관 증상에 따라 식사관련 삶의 질의 차이를 보였다. 따라서 영양교육 시에는 개개인의 식사관련 삶의 질, 식사요법 실천정도, 건강관련 삶의 질, 위장관 증상 등을 고려한 균형 있는 영양관리, 삶의 질 관리가 요구된다. 또한 식사 관련 삶의 질은 혈액투석 환자가 식사요법으로 인해 받는 사회적, 심리적 영향을 잘 반영할 수 있어 앞으로 영양교육이나 식사요법의 효과를 다각도로 평가하는데 있어서 좋은 도구로 사용 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to compare a nutritionally balanced soft blend diet (SBD) with a soft fluid diet (SFD) on the health of inpatients who have undergone oral and maxillofacial (OMF) surgery, ultimately aiming to enhance care outcomes, improve health-related quality of life (QOL), and increase satisfaction with the hospital. Methods: Thirty-two patients were randomized into two groups: sixteen received SFD and sixteen received SBD. Anthropometric, laboratory evaluations were conducted upon admission and discharge. Patients filled out questionnaires on demographics, diet satisfaction, food intake amount, and health-related QOL on the day of discharge, assessed using the EuroQoL 5 Dimensions 3 Level and EuroQoL Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) instruments. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, χ² tests for group differences, and paired nonparametric t-tests for within-group comparisons. The Mann-Whitney U test evaluated inter-group differences in preoperative weight and body mass index (BMI), postoperative changes, meal satisfaction, intake, health-related QOL, and self-assessed health status. P-values were set at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The SBD group had higher dietary intake (63.2% vs. 51.0%) and greater diet satisfaction (80.6 vs. 48.1, P < 0.0001) compared to SFD group. Health-related QOL, measured by EQ-VAS, was better in SBD group (70.3 vs. 58.8, P < 0.05). Postoperative weight and BMI decreased in SFD group but increased in SBD group (P < 0.01). Changes in laboratory results showed more stability in the SBD group. No postoperative infections were reported in SBD group, whereas SFD group had a 31.25% complication rate. Conclusions: While SFD is often recommended after OMF surgery to protect oral wound healing process, our study reveals that SBD not only enhances physical and psychological outcomes but also, somewhat unexpectedly, supports wound healing and reduces complications. Essentially, SBD promotes physical recovery and enhances health-related QOL than SFD by supporting both somatic and mental healing aspects.

This survey is to increase the quality of life by improved oral health. Total 572 Youngnam area residence joined the survey and answered for the subjects of general aspect & health activity, self-determined oral health status, oral health knowledge, oral health activity, food behavior, OHIP-14,THI, QOL. Survey was analyzed by SPSS (Ver. 12.0). Result of the study is summarized as follows; 1. Among total 572 residents, women were 58% and 20~29 aged were 35.5%, highest. In academic background, High school graduated were 59.6%. In average monthly income view, Lower than 1.5 million KRW was 43.5%, 49.3% replied drinks 1~3 times a month. No smoking group was 73.1%. No exercise group was 35.5% and every day exercise group was 11.4%. In self evaluating about oral health status question 40.4%(231) replied as bad, which was highest. 2. Women have higher score about oral health knowledge. Woman and Every day exercise group have better score about oral health practice. Man, 40~49 aged, more than 2.51 million KRW avg' income, every day exercise groups has good score about diet related question. 3. OHIP-14 has lower score as age is older, as more income. THI shows higher score from woman, 20~29, more income group and QOL has higher score from more than college educated, every day exercise groups. 4. Similar correlation indexes on QOL are OHIP-14, diet, oral health knowledge, oral health practice listed in order of effect size. Self-determined oral health index is important to improve quality of life along with health activity, especially oral health recognition index is different depends on age and monthly income that addresses it is necessary to deliver training with carefully designed oral health training program development.

Purpose: To examine the levels of physical activity (PA) and diet quality, socio-demographic and clinical correlates, and identify associations with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among breast cancer survivors. Methods: The study used a cross-sectional study design. A total of 74 breast cancer survivors who had completed their primary cancer therapy were recruited from a comprehensive cancer center in Korea. Measurements used included the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the Diet Quality Index, and the EORTC QLQ-C30. Results: Only twenty-six women (35.1%) met the American Cancer Society criteria of weekly PA, while most participants (93.2%) displayed good or excellent diet quality. Those less likely to meet the PA criteria were older women, women who had a lower economic level, and women not receiving anti-hormone therapy. However, there was no significant factor associated with diet quality. Women who met the criteria for PA displayed significantly better global QOL than women who did not meet the criteria. No significant differences were found in HRQOL between women who did and did not meet the diet quality criteria. Conclusion: Nurses should be aware of breast cancer survivors who are older and who have a low economic status when assessing and screening the level of PA to improve HRQOL.

연구목적은 혈액투석환자를 위한 혈액투석 중 자전거운동과 걷기운동을 개발하여 적용하고, 혈액투석환자의 신체 활동량이 건강관련 삶의 질과 영양섭취에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위함이다. 연구방법은 혈액투석환자에게 적용한 유산소 운동 프로그램의 효과를 확인하기 위한 비동등성 대조군 전·후 실험연구이다. 연구대상자는 중재군과 대조군에 각각 30명이 배정되어 총 60명이었다. 운동중재는 두 종류의 유산소 운동이 포함되어 있으며, 총 8주간 진행되었다. 첫 번째 운동은 일주일에 세 번씩 혈액투석 중 수행되는 자전거운동이었고 두 번째 운동은 일주일에 최대 7 일 동안 실시되는 걷기운동이었다. 통계분석은 기술통계, 독립표본 t-test, 𝑥2-test와 Mann-Whitney U test를 사용하였다. 영양섭취는 CAN-2.0을 사용하여 평가하였다. 연구결과는 중재군이 중재 후 신체활동량 점수가 유의하게 높았으며, 신체적 건강관련 삶의 질도 중재 후 유의하게 개선되었다. 그러나 영양섭취는 중재 전 후 유의한 차이가 없었다. 비록 그룹 간의 차이는 없었지만, 총 칼로리 섭취는 중재 후에 중재군이 대조군보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 신체적 건강관련 삶의 질은 동물성 단백질, 망간, 셀레늄과 비타민 C와 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 본 연구는 혈액투석 중 자전거운동과 걷기운동은 신체활동량과 신체적 건강관련 삶의 질을 향상시키는데 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 본 연구결과는 혈액투석환자의 운동증진을 위한 지침으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
