Bratu ML, Sandesc D, Anghel T, Dehelean L, Bondrescu M, Bratosin F, Tudor R. Quality of Life Assessment Using the WHOQOL-BREF Survey in Hospitalized Patients with Alcohol Use Disorder from Romania. Diseases 2024; 12:158. [PMID: 39057129 PMCID: PMC11276466 DOI: 10.3390/diseases12070158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2024] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
This cross-sectional analysis aimed to assess the quality of life (QoL) among hospitalized patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) in Romania, utilizing the WHOQOL survey. Conducted from January to December 2023 in the Psychiatry Clinic of the "Pius Brinzeu" Emergency Clinical Hospital in Timisoara, this study engaged 70 participants, adhering to ethical standards outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki. Employing the WHOQOL-BREF instrument, the research hypothesized that AUD patients would show significantly lower QoL scores across its domains compared to general population norms. The study focused on identifying the QoL domains most impacted by AUD, exploring correlations between QoL scores and AUD background characteristics, and pinpointing intervention areas for patient care improvement. Participants were predominantly males (88.57%) with a middle-aged average of 55.51 years. Educational backgrounds varied, with a notable percentage having attended college (44.29%) or university (17.14%). Regarding marital status, 41.43% were married. Comorbidities were present in 52.86% of the sample, with hypertension being the most common (34.29%). Results showed mean QoL scores in the physical (61.84 ± 16.05), psychological (64.11 ± 17.16), social (60.48 ± 24.85), and environmental (68.44 ± 17.34) domains, revealing a significant diversity in satisfaction levels across these areas. Statistical analyses highlighted marital status as significantly associated with a better QoL in the physical domain, with married, co-habiting, and divorced participants reporting higher scores compared to single ones. In conclusion, while AUD significantly affects the QoL of hospitalized patients in Romania, marital status emerges as a critical factor in mitigating these effects, particularly in the physical domain of QoL. These findings underscore the complexity of AUD's impact on QoL and the importance of considering sociodemographic factors in patient care practices and interventions. The study contributes valuable insights into the nuanced relationship between AUD and QoL, proposing a foundation for enhancing care outcomes for AUD patients in Romania.

Sonbol HM, Sabri Y, Shahda M, Shouman EA. Evaluation of the executive functions and quality of life in a sample of Egyptian male adolescents with substance use disorder: A case-control study. DISCOVER MENTAL HEALTH 2024; 4:7. [PMID: 38436797 PMCID: PMC10912384 DOI: 10.1007/s44192-024-00060-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adolescent substance use is a major problem that has serious medical, psychological, and legal consequences later in life. Substance use disorder is closely linked to deficits in executive functions. Impaired executive functions (EFs) have been linked to all stages of the substance use disorder (SUD) life cycle, increasing the likelihood of commencing use, escalating use more quickly, and increasing the likelihood of relapsing following treatment. The current study aimed at evaluating of the executive functions and quality of life in a sample of adolescent Egyptian males with substance use disorder. RESULTS A significantly higher mean Trail Making Test-A, B (TMT-A and TMT-B) scores among studied cases than the control group (equals lower executive functions) with a mean score of TMT-A is 74.38 versus 63.2 among controls and for TMT-B; the mean score for control is 97.22 versus 142.04 among cases. A statistically significant difference between the case and control groups on all quality of life scores measuring the following domains: general health and well-being, physical health, psychological health, social interactions, and the environment, also there has been a negative correlation between TMT-A and the environmental domain (r = - 0.279) and TMT-B with the same variable (r = - 0.414). CONCLUSIONS Substance use disorders are a major health problem among youth. Deficits in executive functions are strongly associated with adolescent substance use. The more affected executive functions are associated with more affected quality of life of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Relationships between alcohol consumption and health are complex and vary between countries, regions, and genders. Previous research in Australia has focused on estimating the effect of alcohol consumption on mortality. However, little is known about the relationships between alcohol consumption and health-related quality of life (QoL) in Australia. This study aimed to investigate the levels of alcohol intake and QoL in males and females in rural, regional and metropolitan areas of Australia. METHOD Participants (n = 1717 Australian adults) completed an online cross-sectional study. Males and females were compared on measures including the AUDIT-C and WHOQOL-BREF. Data were stratified into risk of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and associations were examined between alcohol consumption and QoL, adjusting for sociodemographic variables. RESULTS Males had higher alcohol consumption and were at greater risk of AUD than females (20% vs 8%). Relationships between alcohol consumption and QoL were positive or non-significant for low-moderate AUD risk categories and negative in the severe AUD risk category. Males in regional communities reported higher alcohol consumption (AUDIT-C score 6.6 vs 4.1, p < 0.01) than metropolitan areas. Regression analyses identified that after adjusting for sociodemographic variables, alcohol consumption was positively related to overall, environmental, and physical QoL and general health. CONCLUSION The results indicate that alcohol consumption is negatively related to QoL only in those with severe risk of AUD. Males in regional areas reported higher alcohol consumption than those in metropolitan areas. These results provide further information about relationships between alcohol intake and health in Australia that can help inform prevention, screening and delivery of interventions.

Hsu WY. Occurrence and correlates of domestic violence among asian patients with alcohol use disorder seeking treatment for cessation. Alcohol 2024; 120:59-64. [PMID: 38191098 DOI: 10.1016/j.alcohol.2024.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Alcohol use disorder (AUD) has significant social and economic consequences in addition to health implications. Alcohol and drug use are linked to violence, particularly intimate partner violence and domestic violence. Identifying the characteristics of individuals with AUD and a history of domestic violence is important. Our study aimed to investigate differences between AUD patients with and without domestic violence. METHODS This retrospective study examined the medical records of individuals diagnosed with AUD participating in a central Taiwan alcohol treatment program from 2019 to 2020. Utilizing the Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, and Eye-opener questionnaire (CAGE), Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), Brief Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck's Anxiety Inventory (BAI), World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL), and a question on suicidal ideation, we collected data on diverse variables, including a history of domestic violence. A total of 136 individuals were included in the analysis. RESULTS Twenty participants had a history of domestic violence, while 116 did not. Those with a history of domestic violence had significantly higher MAST scores, lower quality of life, and higher caregiver burden compared to those without a history of domestic violence. They also had a higher proportion of adverse consequences related to alcohol use and higher suicidal ideation scores. CONCLUSIONS It is important to assess the risk of domestic violence in individuals with AUD, particularly those with higher MAST scores. Questions 4 and 10 of the MAST, which relate to adverse consequences of alcohol use, such as losing friends or being arrested for drunk driving, could serve as warning questions for domestic violence. Further research is needed to assess the efficacy of interventions in reducing domestic violence risk in individuals with AUD.

Ind Psychiatry J 2024; 33:133-140. [PMID: 38853790 PMCID: PMC11155649 DOI: 10.4103/ipj.ipj_158_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 10/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Alcohol is a widely consumed substance associated with around 5.6% of all causes of death. Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic relapsing and remitting illness and has been known to be associated with impaired executive functions, processing speed, memory, attention, and fluency. It is also associated with impaired quality of life (QoL), which in turn can affect overall prognosis. Aim To assess neurocognition in patients with alcohol dependence and correlate it with QoL and relapse. Materials and Methods This study was a prospective, longitudinal study of sixty alcohol dependence patients from January 2020 to June 2021 after appropriate ethical approval. Participants were assessed for baseline alcohol dependence, neurocognition (focused, sustained and divided attention; processing speed; verbal and category fluency; working memory; response inhibition; verbal comprehension; verbal learning and memory; visuospatial construction; visual learning and memory) and QoL using Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS) battery for neurocognition and WHO-BREF (WHO-Quality of Life-short-form scale) World Health Organization-scale, respectively. A follow-up was conducted in three months to assess relapse in the patients. Statistical analysis was conducted by International Business Machines Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS) v16. Results Mean age of the study participants was 41.3 ± 5.03 years, mean age of onset of alcohol use was 20.88 ± 4.27 years, mean duration of alcohol use of 16.6 ± 7.92 years, and average 14.55 ± 4.86 drinks per day. The mean AUDIT score of the study population was 25.21 ± 7.18. There was significant positive correlation between duration of use and CTT-2; 37 out of 57 participants relapsed to alcohol (three participants had died in follow-up) with mean 37.48 ± 23.27 days of relapse, mean 3.32 ± 1.2 drinking days per week, and mean 6 ± 1.2 drinks per drinking day. There was negative and positive correlation between neurocognition and relapse and between neurocognition and QoL. Conclusion Alcohol use also resulted in impaired cognitive function of the study participants. There was also significant difference in score for neurocognition test between relapse and abstinent group. The significant correlation between neurocognition and QoL as well as neurocognition and relapse proves the deleterious effect of alcohol in every aspect of life.

Risky health behaviors and subsequent late mortality after blood or marrow transplantation: a BMTSS report. Blood Adv 2023; 7:7028-7044. [PMID: 37682779 PMCID: PMC10694527 DOI: 10.1182/bloodadvances.2023010633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Revised: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
Abstract
We examined the association between risky health behaviors (smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, and lack of vigorous physical activity) and all-cause and cause-specific late mortality after blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) to understand the role played by potentially modifiable risk factors. Study participants were drawn from the BMT Survivor Study (BMTSS) and included patients who received transplantation between 1974 and 2014, had survived ≥2 years after BMT, and were aged ≥18 years at study entry. Survivors provided information on sociodemographic characteristics, chronic health conditions, and health behaviors. National Death Index was used to determine survival and cause of death. Multivariable regression analyses determined the association between risky health behaviors and all-cause mortality (Cox regression) and nonrecurrence-related mortality (NRM; subdistribution hazard regression), after adjusting for relevant sociodemographic, clinical variables and therapeutic exposures. Overall, 3866 participants completed the BMTSS survey and were followed for a median of 5 years to death or 31 December 2021; and 856 participants (22.1%) died after survey completion. Risky health behaviors were associated with increased hazard of all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] former smoker, 1.2; aHR current smoker, 1.7; reference, nonsmoker; aHR heavy drinker, 1.4; reference, nonheavy drinker; and aHR no vigorous activity, 1.2; reference, vigorous activity) and NRM (aHR former smoker, 1.3; aHR current smoker, 1.6; reference, nonsmoker; aHR heavy drinker, 1.4; reference: nonheavy drinker; and aHR no vigorous activity, 1.2; reference, vigorous activity). The association between potentially modifiable risky health behaviors and late mortality offers opportunities for development of interventions to improve both the quality and quantity of life after BMT.

Abstract
(1) Background: Acceptance of illness is a process in which a person with an illness accepts its presence and treats it as an integral part of their life. With regard to alcoholism, acceptance of illness is one of the important elements of the healing process. (2) Methods: The study group consisted of 104 residents in an addiction treatment ward. Questionnaires SOC-29, AIS and PSS-10 were used to check levels of coherence, stress and acceptance of illness. The analysis was based on regression analysis. Patient age was analysed as a moderator of correlations between perceived indicators. Moderation analysis was based on the simple moderation model. (3) Results: The level of perceived stress correlated negatively with all areas of the sense of coherence and with acceptance of illness. All areas of the sense of coherence correlated with acceptance of illness positively. (4) Conclusions: The acceptance of illness by the patient is a factor that can be motivating for further treatment, through a positive approach to illness and strengthening the sense of control in experiencing it. The combination of strengthening behavioural, cognitive and motivational resources can be used in the treatment of people experiencing the challenges of addiction to alcohol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) adversely affect a person's general health and the lives of their family and friends. These disorders are also the most undertreated mental illness with severe implications for public health. Hence, the present study aimed to employ the WHOQOL-BREF to assess the quality of life (QoL) of AUDs patients seeking treatment at de-addiction centers and identify the demographic variables associated with the QoL dimension scores. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among alcohol dependents taking treatment in de-addiction centers in Dakshina Kannada District, Karnataka. The WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire was administered to 124 subjects. Multiple regression analysis was carried out to identify the demographic variables associated with the QoL dimension scores. RESULTS The domain mean scores were between 50 and 60 on the 0 to 100 scale. Age, social class, residential area, marital status, and years of drinking were the demographic variables found to be significantly associated with the dimension scores. CONCLUSIONS Physicians should monitor the effect of alcoholism on QoL, and a multidisciplinary treatment plan with elements from the medical, social, and psychiatric fields should be used. The demographic variables should be considered while managing patients with AUDs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE For individuals in alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment, many argue that holistic indicators such as quality of life (QoL) should be more consistently used in addition to drinking-related indicators. QoL increases from pre- to post-AUD treatment, but the mechanisms are unclear. The present study examined the roles of positive and negative affect in QoL change during AUD treatment and additionally explored the relationship between QoL change and medication adherence. METHOD We examined the mediating roles of end-of-treatment positive affect (i.e., vigor) and negative affect (i.e., stress and tension) in the relationship between baseline (BL) and 26-week QoL among participants in the Combined Pharmacotherapies and Behavioral Interventions for Alcohol Dependence study randomized to medication management (MM; n = 468) or medication management plus combined behavioral intervention (MMCBI; n = 479) for AUD. We also explored whether changes in QoL were associated with medication adherence. RESULTS Change in psychological health QoL was mediated by increased vigor (i.e., positive affect) and decreased stress, and change in environmental QoL was mediated by decreased stress. There were also differences by treatment group, with stress mediating changes in environmental QoL among participants in MM, and vigor mediating changes in psychological health QoL among participants in MMCBI. Medication adherence was not associated with greater QoL after controlling for posttreatment alcohol use. CONCLUSIONS The present study identified potential mechanisms of QoL change in AUD treatment, thus contributing to the growing knowledge surrounding alternative indicators of treatment success for AUD treatment and recovery. Targeting affective states and stress during treatment may improve QoL and recovery outcomes for persons with AUD. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

Abstract
Objective: The present study aims to determine the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among liver disorder patients being treated in tertiary care hospital in north India and exploration of factors affecting HRQoL. Methodology: The HRQoL was assessed among 230 patients visiting either the outpatient department (OPD) or those admitted in high dependency unit (HDU) or liver intensive care unit (ICU) using direct measuring tools such as Euro QoL five-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D) and EQ visual analog scale. Multivariate regression was used to explore the factors influencing HRQoL. Results: Mean EQ-5D scores among chronic hepatitis and compensated cirrhosis patients were 0.639 ± 0.062 and 0.562 ± 0.048, respectively. Among those who were admitted in the ICU or HDU, mean EQ-5D score was 0.295 ± 0.031. At discharge, this score improved significantly to 0.445 ± 0.055 (P < 0.001). The multivariate results implied that HRQoL was significantly better among patients with lower literacy level (P = 0.018) and those treated in OPD settings (P < 0.001). Conclusion: HRQoL is impaired among patients suffering from liver disorders specifically those admitted in ICU. Further, there is a need to generate more evidence to explore the impact of determinants and treatment-associated costs on the HRQoL.

Abstract
Background: Although alcohol is the most common cause for chronic pancreatitis worldwide, idiopathic type is prevalent in India. Natural history and disease progression are different between these two groups. There is paucity of data comparing surgical outcome and quality of life in these patients. Aim: To evaluate clinical features, surgical outcome and quality of life between these two groups of patients. Method: All patients with chronic pancreatitis who underwent surgery were prospectively reviewed. Results: From 98 patients, 42 were alcoholic. Number of male and the mean age at the time of operation was significantly more in alcoholic patients. Smoking, preoperative hospital admission rate and the prevalence of local complications like inflammatory pancreatic head mass, biliary stricture and left sided portal hypertension were distinctly more common in alcoholic group. Frey procedure was required more commonly in alcoholic group. Mean postoperative hospital stay and overall postoperative complication rate were comparable between the two groups. Over a median follow up of 18 months there was significant improvement in quality of life and pain score in both the groups. Improvement of physical functioning score at follow-up was significantly more in alcoholic group but the requirement for analgesic medications were significantly more in alcoholic group. However, appetite loss was more perceived by non-alcoholic group. Conclusion: Alcoholic chronic pancreatitis presents with more local complications associated with chronic pancreatitis. Frey procedure is a safe and well accepted surgery in this group. Though they required more analgesic requirement in short term follow up, other aspects of quality of life are similar to non-alcoholic group.

Abstract
Background Apart from the alcohol effects on various domains of health, the effect on sexual health is the most concerning aspect to the individual. Chronic alcohol intake leads to sexual dysfunction leading to interpersonal difficulties which further worsens alcohol dependence creating a vicious cycle. Methodology This is a cross-sectional study done at an inpatient psychiatry ward of a tertiary care hospital after taking institutional ethical clearance and due informed consent from the participants. The study sample comprised of 50 alcohol dependent subjects and 50 healthy controls taken by purposive sampling based on the inclusion criteria. Subjects were rated on the Arizona sexual experiences (ASEX) scale for various aspects of sexuality and on the New sexual satisfaction scale (NSS) for the degree of sexual satisfaction. WHO-Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF was used to assess the quality of life in both groups. Data was collected and analyzed using MS Excel and SPSS version 23 (IBM Corp., Armonk, USA), Results The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in the study was about 40% with an inability to reach and satisfaction with orgasm (38% and 28% respectively) the most common followed by erectile dysfunction (26%). The patients with alcohol dependence had a significantly higher degree of sexual dysfunction, poor sexual satisfaction, and low quality of life compared to controls. With correlation analysis, the total scores on ASEX were positively correlated with the duration of alcohol use and dependence. Conclusions This study concludes that sexual dysfunction is common and seen in nearly half of the patients with alcohol dependence affecting desire, erection, and satisfaction with orgasm. Alcohol dependence further impairs the sexual satisfaction and quality of life of the individual. This information can be utilized in motivational interviewing of patients with alcohol dependence by addressing both the problems simultaneously to improve sexual functioning and quality of life.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aims to (1) describe the prevalence and clustering of 3 health behaviors, (2) examine the association between individual health behaviors and health-related quality of life, and (3) explore the association between the clustering of the health behaviors and health-related quality of life. METHODS Investigators analyzed a sample of U.S. adults aged 18-64 years using data from the 2016-2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey in March 2020. Logistic regression models examined the associations among 3 healthy behaviors (currently not smoking, physical activity, and nonheavy alcohol consumption) and 4 indicators of health-related quality of life (general health, physical health, mental health, and activity limitation). Alpha was set at 0.01. RESULTS A total of 450,870 individuals were included in the analysis (weighted n=100,102,329). Of these, 82.0% were current nonsmokers, 92.8% were nonheavy drinkers, and 77.6% reported physical activity. The prevalence of having none, 1, 2, and 3 of the health behaviors was 0.7%, 7.7%, 30.1%, and 61.5%, respectively. Smoking status and physical activity status were significantly associated with all the 4 health-related quality of life indicators. Alcohol status was significantly associated with mental health and activity limitation. The associations demonstrated a higher health-related quality of life among individuals who reported healthy behaviors than among those who did not engage in healthy behaviors. Compared with respondents who reported none of the health behaviors, people with all 3 health behaviors were more likely to report higher health-related quality of life. CONCLUSIONS Health behaviors were significantly associated with health-related quality of life among U.S. adults. Healthy behaviors should be encouraged because adopting these behaviors may contribute to a higher health-related quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Alcohol use is often overlooked and underestimated among patients recovered from substance dependence. The prevalence and correlates of alcohol use disorder (AUD) among adults recovered from substance use disorders (SUDs) are estimated in this study. METHODS A nationally representative cross-sectional analysis of the National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions Wave-III was used in this study. Survey respondents, aged 18 or older, who recovered from SUDs, based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) criteria (n = 2061 unweighted), were included. A total of three comparison groups were identified using DSM-5 criteria (1) current AUD, (2) former AUD, and (3) never had AUD. The prevalence of these groups was estimated; medical and psychiatric comorbidities and health-related quality of life were compared; and factors associated with having a current AUD when compared with those with former AUD and those who never had AUD were examined, controlling for other covariates. RESULTS About 5.7% of US adults, nationally representative of 14.2 million, have been reported to have recovered from past SUDs. Of these, 28.9% met criteria for current AUD and 48.4% had former AUD. When compared with those who never had AUD, factors associated with having a current AUD included the following: living in urban areas (P = .019), having a bipolar 1 disorder (P < .001), and a history of lifetime incarceration (P = .004). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Nearly one-third of adults recovered from SUDs had current AUD, and several behavioral factors were associated with having a current AUD when compared with those who never had AUD. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE Our study highlights the substantial risk of AUD in adults who have successfully recovered from SUDs. (Am J Addict 2020;00:00-00).

Patient's early satisfaction with care: a predictor of health-related quality of life change among outpatients with substance dependence. Health Qual Life Outcomes 2020; 18:6.

Abstract
Background Although research on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has increased in the addiction field, few studies have focused on the determinants of HRQoL changes. This study aimed to describe dependent patients’ HRQoL changes at a 3-month follow-up and to assess whether satisfaction with care can predict those changes among outpatients starting care for alcohol or opioid dependence. Methods HRQoL was measured with the SF-12 at baseline and 3 months later in a prospective cohort of dependent outpatients. Satisfaction was assessed with the EQS-C early after inclusion. Data on sociodemographics, clinical characteristics and patients’ levels of anxiety and depression were also collected. A multivariable analysis was performed to identify factors associated with HRQoL changes in both the physical and mental component summary scores (PCS and MCS, respectively). Results Of the 172 patients included at baseline, a total of 136 patients assessed their satisfaction with care. The mean PCS and MCS scores were initially low, and HRQoL improvement was significant after 3 months for both the PCS and MCS. Never having been married (β = 5.5; p = 0.001) and a lower baseline PCS score (β = − 0.6; p < 0.0001) were associated with significant PCS improvement, whereas being legally compelled to undergo drug treatment (β = − 5.9; p = 0.02) was associated with less PCS change. Higher early satisfaction with care (β = 0.1; p = 0.02) and a lower baseline MCS score (β = − 0.7; p < 0.0001) were associated with significant MCS improvement. Conclusion The study supported the hypothesis that greater satisfaction with care may predict HRQoL improvement among dependent outpatients. Further studies are needed to understand the factors that affect patients’ early satisfaction to identify areas of improvement and thus improve HRQoL.

Abstract
Objective: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a serious issue worldwide and frequently co-occurs with depression. However, the quality of life (QOL) of AUD patients with and without depression is not well studied in the Chinese Han population. The aim of this study was to investigate QOL and its correlates in AUD patients with and without depression in China. Methods: Five hundred and fifteen psychiatric patients diagnosed with AUD were recruited. All these patients completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to assess depression, the Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) to evaluate QOL and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) to measure the severity of drinking. Results: Compared with AUD patients without depression, those with depression had a lower QOL in all eight domains of the SF-36 (all P < 0.001), but were more willing to have alcohol-related treatment (P < 0.05). Negative correlations were noted between (i) the BDI total score and all eight domains of the SF-36 (all P < 0.001); and (ii) between the AUDIT total score and six domains of the SF-36 (all P < 0.05). Conclusions: Depression impairs QOL in patients with AUD in China. Early intervention in comorbid depression to improve QOL is needed.

Quality of Life in Patients With Methamphetamine Use Disorder: Relationship to Impulsivity and Drug Use Characteristics. Front Psychiatry 2020; 11:579302. [PMID: 33192720 PMCID: PMC7555609 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2020.579302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The quality of life (QOL) of patients with methamphetamine use disorder (MAUD) is increasingly recognized as an important outcome. Previous studies have found that impulsivity is negatively associated with QOL in mental disorders, but this relationship is rarely confirmed in patients with MAUD. We hypothesized that impulsivity is negatively correlated with QOL in patients with MAUD based on previous findings. In addition, a variety of drug use characteristics of patients that may potentially affect their QOL need to be further explored. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between impulsivity, multiple drug use characteristics, and QOL in patients with MAUD. METHODS A total of 379 patients with MAUD were recruited, and the majority of them were male (85.5%), with an average age of 33.93 ± 7.08 years. Two psychiatrists conducted semi-structured interviews with methamphetamine (MA) users in two compulsory drug rehabilitation centers to obtain their demographics and drug use characteristics. The Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-11 (BIS-11) and Brief WHO Quality of Life Assessment (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to assess patients' impulsivity and QOL, respectively. Correlation and univariate regression analysis were used to explore the relationships between impulsivity, a series of drug use characteristics and patients' QOL in different domains. Further multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify what extent the above clinical variables explained the variations in patients' QOL. RESULTS Age, marital status, employment, and various drug use characteristics were significantly associated with at least one QOL domain. Among them, married and full-time job were positively correlated with QOL, while others were negatively correlated with QOL. The total score of BIS-11 was significantly negatively correlated with all four domains of QOL. Impulsivity, a range of drug use characteristics and certain demographic characteristics collectively explained varying degrees of variation in different domains of QOL. CONCLUSIONS Impulsivity and various drug use characteristics can significantly predict QOL in all fields of MAUD patients. In addition, we have also found differences in the predictors of QOL in different domains. Overall, this study provides clinical guidance for the treatment of MAUD patients, that is, management of impulsivity in patients with MAUD may help improve their QOL and even sustain their drug rehabilitation.

The Auckland alcohol detoxification outcome study: Measuring changes in quality of life in individuals completing a medicated withdrawal from alcohol in a detoxification unit. Drug Alcohol Depend 2019; 202:156-161. [PMID: 31352304 DOI: 10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2018.11.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2018] [Revised: 11/17/2018] [Accepted: 11/21/2018] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
AIM To measure outcomes in Quality of Life in alcohol dependent patients' following a medicated withdrawal from alcohol. METHODS 79 patients that were admitted to a detoxification unit in Auckland, New Zealand between March 2016 and September 2016 were assessed for severity of alcohol dependence using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and Severity of Alcohol Dependency Questionnaire (SADQ) and Quality of Life (QOL) using the World Health Organisation Quality of Life-abbreviated version of the WHOQOL 100 New Zealand version (WHOQOL-BREF NZ). Patients were followed up at three months and 12 months and an estimate of drinking behavior and the WHO-QOL BREF NZ were completed via telephone interview. QOL domain scores were assessed from baseline to three months and baseline to 12 months in both relapse and abstinent groups. At three months, a single question was asked in order to collect qualitative data. RESULTS At baseline, the study population had statistically significantly lower mean QOL domain scores than scores reported from the general population. QOL improved in patients following detoxification at three months and 12 months in both the relapse and abstinent groups; however, the change in scores from baseline was greater in the abstinent group compared to the relapse group. The majority of patients reported that the admission had been a positive experience. CONCLUSION QOL improves in individuals following a medicated withdrawal from alcohol regardless of whether individual's relapse; however, those that remain abstinent have greater improvements in quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the psychopathology accompanying alcohol use disorder (AUD) is important as it impacts negatively on quality of life (QoL) with subsequent implications for treatment and recovery. We evaluated the association of psychiatric comorbidity with QoL among treatment-seeking South African AUD patients. METHODS Cross-sectional assessment of 101 (Male, n = 65; 64.5%) patients with AUD was done using the World Health Organisation Quality of Life (WHOQoL)-Bref, the World Health Organisation Disability Assessment Scale (WHODAS) and Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) to collect QoL, disability and psychopathology data, respectively. RESULTS Psychiatric comorbidity was noted in 63 (62.3%) of the patients with most (55.6%) having more than one disorder. Mood (39; 61.9%) and anxiety (33; 52.4%) were the most common co-occurring disorders. Disability scores were not significantly different between comorbidity and gender groups However, QoL scores were significantly lower for participants with comorbidity in three of the four WHOQOL domains and declined with increasing number of psychiatric disorders. Focussing on the two main psychopathologies, participants with anxiety alone consistently had the lowest QoL scores compared to those with neither or both disorders (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The results confirm the well-known high rate of psychiatric comorbidity in patients with AUD and the negative impact it has on QoL. The results should alert clinicians managing AUD patients to screen for comorbid psychopathology and include findings into their treatment plan as this may impact on the patient's QoL.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Social factors play vital role in unfolding of alcohol use disorders in any given population. Several factors beyond the confines of treatment settings influence treatment outcome in alcohol dependence syndrome. Social support has positive effect in treatment outcome of alcohol dependence syndrome. This has not been much studied in India in past. Therefore we decided to study the perception of social support in cases of alcohol dependence syndrome admitted in a busy hospital in armed forces. AIM The aim was to study the perception of social support across relapsed and abstinent group and see if it reached any statistical proportion and also to see if any socio-demographic variables also affected perception of social support. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty five consecutive male patients of alcohol dependent syndrome without a co-morbid neurological/psychiatric diagnosis were assessed for their perception of social support after taking informed consent. They were explained the procedure and their alcoholic milestones were recorded in specially designed pro-forma. Subjects were then divided in abstinent and relapsed group. Subsequently they were assessed for their perception of social support by administering Social provision scale and Social support questionnaire. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Data were tabulated and statistically analysed by using chi square test, Mann Whitney U-Test and Rank ANOVA test where applicable p-value <.05 was taken as significant. RESULTS Results indicated that perception of social support across abstinent (n=18) and relapsed (n= 37) group reached significant statistical proportion as measured by social provision scale and social support questionnaire. Duration of use, dependence and family history of alcoholism did not influence perception of social support across patient population. There was inverse relationship between patients with alcohol related problem and their perception of social support. Professional and qualified soldiers perceived higher social support than soldiers and lesser qualified individuals. CONCLUSION Abstinent group perceived better social support than relapsed group and soldiers in upper socio-occupational status and less alcohol related problems perceived more social support than soldiers with lower socioeconomic status and more alcohol related problems. Psychosocial therapy must be incorporated in management of Alcohol dependence syndrome.

The Effect of a Patient-Provider Educational Intervention to Reduce At-Risk Drinking on Changes in Health and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Older Adults: The Project SHARE Study. J Subst Abuse Treat 2015; 60:14-20. [PMID: 26254687 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsat.2015.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2015] [Revised: 06/10/2015] [Accepted: 06/23/2015] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND At-risk drinking, defined as alcohol use that is excessive or potentially harmful in combination with select comorbidities or medications, affects about 10% of older adults in the United States and is associated with higher mortality. The Project SHARE intervention, which uses patient and provider educational materials, physician counseling, and health educator support, was designed to reduce at-risk drinking among this vulnerable population. Although an earlier study showed that this intervention was successful in reducing rates of at-risk drinking, it is unknown whether these reductions translate into improved health and health-related quality of life (HRQL). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine changes in health and HRQL of older adult at-risk drinkers resulting from a patient-provider educational intervention. RESEARCH DESIGN A randomized controlled trial to compare the health and HRQL outcomes of patients assigned to the Project SHARE intervention vs. care as usual at baseline, 6- and 12-months post assignment. Control patients received usual care, which may or may not have included alcohol counseling. Intervention group patients received a personalized patient report, educational materials on alcohol and aging, a brief provider intervention, and a telephone health educator intervention. SUBJECTS Current drinkers 60years and older accessing primary care clinics around Santa Barbara, California (N=1049). MEASUREMENTS Data were collected from patients using baseline, 6- and 12-month mail surveys. Health and HRQL measures included mental and physical component scores (MCS and PCS) based on the Short Form-12v2 (SF-12v2), the SF-6D, which is also based on the SF-12, and the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). Adjusted associations of treatment assignment with these outcomes were estimated using generalized least squares regressions with random provider effects. Regressions controlled for age group, sex, race/ethnicity, marital status, education, household income, home ownership and the baseline value of the dependent variable. RESULTS After regression adjustment, the intervention was associated with a 0.58 point (95% CI: -0.06, 1.21) increase in 6-month MCS and a 0.14 point (95% CI: 0.01, 0.26) improvement in 12-month GDS score, compared to the control group. The intervention also increased adjusted SF-6D scores by 0.01 points at both 6 and 12months (6-month 95% CI: 0.01, 0.02; 12-month 95% CI: 0.01, 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Despite the previously shown effectiveness of the Project SHARE intervention to reduce at-risk drinking among older adults, this effect translated into effects on health and HRQL that were statistically but not necessarily clinically significant. Effects were most prominent for patients who received physician discussions, suggesting that provider counseling may be a critical component of primary care-based interventions targeting at-risk alcohol use.
