Title

DETERMINANTS OF QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE CAREGIVERS OF IRANIAN WAR SURVIVORS WITH BILATERAL LOWER-LIMB AMPUTATION AFTER MORE THAN TWO DECADES

Pages

  257-264

Abstract

 Background: Providing care to a disable relative at home exposes the caregiver to a potentially higher risk of physical and mental problems. We measured health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and its determinants among the CAREGIVERS of the IRANian survivors of the IRAN-Iraq war (1980-1988) with bilateral lower-limb AMPUTATION.Methods: Data were collected from 464 individuals comprising war-related bilateral lower-limb amputees (n=232) and their CAREGIVERS (n=232) in January 2015 in Shiraz, IRAN. The 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire was used to evaluate the CAREGIVERS’ QOL. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the most significant contributing factors.Results: The mean age of the CAREGIVERS and the amputees was 39.4±6.2 and 42.5±6.2 years, respectively. The mean duration of disability was 22.8±3.9 years in the amputees. Most of the CAREGIVERS were reported to be in their first marriage. The highest and lowest mean scores of the SF-36 domains in the sample population were observed for physical function (76.65±21.97) and bodily pain (53.54±24.95). QOL in the CAREGIVERS was significantly lower than that in a sample of the general IRANian female population (P<0.05). History of hospitalization during the preceding year of the study (OR: 2.23, 95% CI: 1.08 to 4.57, P=0.02) and mental health problems (OR: 1.79, 95% CI: 1.02 to 3.15, P=0.04) in the amputees constituted the most important predicting factors in the CAREGIVERS’ QOL.Conclusion: The CAREGIVERS of the bilateral lower-limb amputees in the current study suffered from a poor QOL. Hospitalization and mental problems were the most significant contributing factors vis-à-vis the CAREGIVERS’ HRQOL. Health care and services should, therefore, be provided to both amputees and their CAREGIVERS.
