Abstract
Introduction: Thalassemia is regarded as a genetic hematologic disease that affects various aspects of patients’ life. Measuring the health-related quality of life is a multidimensional concept that focuses on the disease as well as its treatment.
Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study consisted of ۵۰ adolescents aged ۱۲-۱۸ years suffering from Thalassemia major, out of which ۳۰ were females and ۲۰ were males with the mean (±SD) age of ۱۵.۳۸(±۲) years old. The present study was carried out applying the Kidscreen-۲۷ health-related questionnaire.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between urban and rural patients’ scores (P-value=۰.۲۲). Comparison of quality of life amongst female and male patients indicated male patientschr('۳۹') better scores in regard with physical well-being, psychosocial well-being and the total score of quality of life compared to the females (P-value<۰.۰۵). The total score of quality of life within adolescents with higher educated fathers was reported to be slightly higher than that of the other groups.
Conclusion: The study findings revealed that there was neither a significant difference between urban and rural patients with thalassemia major, nor a relation between adolescent patientschr('۳۹') quality of life and their fathers’ education level. Nonetheless, male patients were demonstrated to have better quality of lifethan females.
