Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality of life and physical fitness in patients after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). We used WHOQOL-BREF (Taiwan) to evaluate the quality of life, and (The symbol is abbreviated) O(subscript 2peak) to evaluate physical fitness. We also collected the data of pre-operative left ventricle cardiac ejection fraction and analyzed the correlation within the data.There were 33 male post-CABG patients enrolled in this study. Each patient received a cardiopulmonary exercise stress test 3~4 weeks after the surgery. Each of them completed the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire (Taiwan version). We applied Pearson's correlation coefficient to …

Quality Of Life And Peak Oxygen Consumption In Patients With Congestive Heart Failure, Chen-Liang Chou, Chia-Ling Chang, Chantelle Wu, Su-Ying Hung, Shun-Ping Chen, Tcho-Jen Liu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Although the physical consequences of congestive heart failure are well known, its effects on patient well-being, severity of exercise intolerance, and quality of life are largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of physical fitness (as measured by O2 peak), quality of life (as measured with the WHOQOL-BREF in Taiwan), and severity of left ventricle dysfunction (as measured by left ventricle ejection fraction) in patients with congestive heart failure.Twenty patients were enrolled in this study, but only 11 had completed the ”WHOQOL-BREF”. We used the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS14.0) for statistical analysis. The …

Of course, this hypothesis needs to be examined. Such an investigation may provide rehabilitation counselors with insights into the meaning of QOL from the viewpoint of Chinese Americans with disabilities. It …
