Calidad de vida relacionada con la salud y consumo de tabaco

La calidad de vida relacionada con la salud se ha descrito como un concepto multidimensional que incluye la identificación de síntomas, el estado funcional, la percepción de bienestar psicológico y la percepción general de salud. En el caso de la adicción al consumo de tabaco, la preocupación por la salud actual o futura es uno de los motivos más informados para dejar de fumar. En el presente estudio se analiza la relación entre la percepción de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud y la etapa de cambio en el abandono del consumo de tabaco propuesta desde el modelo transteórico a fin de mejorar las estrategias de intervención comunitaria y clínica para la cesación tabáquica. Se ha administrado el cuestionario SF-36 a una muestra formada por 201 fumadores y exfumadores. Los datos obtenidos indican peor salud física percibida en las etapas de cambio más próximas al abandono de tabaco y una peor salud mental percibida en las etapas con tabaquismo activo. Se comparan los resultados con los observados en otras poblaciones y se discuten las implicaciones a nivel de tratamiento y prevención del tabaquismo

Factores asociados al estrés del cuidador primario de niños con autismo: Sobrecarga, psicopatología y estado de salud

The objective of this study was to evaluate if caregivers were overloaded when their children were diagnosed with autism disorder, how it may influence their mental and physical health. 40 caregivers have been participating in this study, mainly mothers. The parameters studied include sociodemographic factors, caregivers burden overload (Zarit Scale, adapted to the Spanish language), Psychopathology (SCL-90) and health status (SF-60). The results indicate that caregivers were overloaded, and in a worse state of mental and physical health compared to the general population. A strong positive correlation was observed between overwhelmed carers and the evaluated health and pathopsicological parameters. These results are in accordance with previous findings that were published by other groups, supporting the idea that specific health programs are needed for caregivers of children with chronic diseases.
