چکیده مقاله:
Introduction: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common airway disease. In order to study the prevalence of AR in high school students in Kerman, the Score for Allergic Rhinitis (SFAR) was used and the quality of life in the students affected by rhinitis was evaluated using the SF-۳۶ questionnaire. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional, analytical, descriptive study, based on the SFAR scale. Quality of life in students with AR was evaluated using the SF-۳۶ questionnaire. Results: From ۱۵۱۱ students who completed the SFAR questionnaire, ۲۹۱ (۵۲.۶%, girls; ۴۷.۴%, boys) had AR. Domestic dust was the most common cause of the disease. The most common symptoms of AR were rhinorrhea (۷۶.۶%), epiphora (۷۶.۳%), nasal congestion (۶۴.۳%), and itching (۵۴.۳%). According to the ARYA scale, (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma), ۴۱.۹% of students had moderate-to-severe rhinitis and ۵۸.۱% had mild rhinitis. A total of ۴۳.۱% of patients with moderate-to-severe rhinitis had a persistent condition and ۵۶.۹% had an intermediate condition. Results of the SF-۳۶ questionnaire among students with AR showed a significant difference in physical functioning and bodily pain in comparison with healthy students. Conclusion: The results of this study show that the prevalence of AR among Kerman high school students is ۱۹.۳%. Because of the effect of this disease on the life quality of high school students in terms of both physical functioning and bodily pain, efforts should be made to reduce allergen levels as far as possible.
