Introdução: DegenerescĂȘncia macular relacionada com a idade, como o prĂłprio nome diz, Ă© uma doença degenerativa da retina, relacionada com a idade, que se manifesta clinicamente apĂłs os 50 anos de idade. A sua incidĂȘncia e prevalĂȘncia tĂȘm vindo a aumentar em virtude do envelhecimento da população, do aumento dos fatores de risco e aperfeiçoamento do diagnĂłstico. Segundo a Organização Mundial de SaĂșde Ă© considerado uma das principais causas de cegueira nos paĂses desenvolvidos.
Objetivos: Avaliar a Qualidade de Vida dos doentes com degenerescĂȘncia macular relacionada com a idade e identificar as dimensĂ”es dos questionĂĄrios SF-36 e VFQ-25 mais afetadas apĂłs o diagnĂłstico da doença.
Material e mĂ©todos: Estudo transversal, descritivo de uma amostra por conveniĂȘncia constituĂda por 39 indivĂduos com diagnĂłstico de degenerescĂȘncia macular relacionada com a idade seguidos numa clĂnica oftalmolĂłgica. Recolheu-se dados sociodemogrĂĄficos, e realizou-se a aplicação presencial dos questionĂĄrios de avaliação da qualidade de vida, um genĂ©rico e outro especĂfico para a visĂŁo, o questionĂĄrio SF-36 e o questionĂĄrio VFQ-25, respetivamente. Ambos os questionĂĄrios tĂȘm pontuaçÔes que variam de 0 a 100, correspondendo a pior e melhor qualidade de vida.
Resultados: Dos 39 participantes, 56,4% sexo masculino e 43,6% foram do sexo feminino, com mĂ©dia de idade de 73,72 anos, com idade mĂnima e mĂĄxima de 40 e 92 anos. A população, maioritariamente eram casados (64,1 %), reformados (69,2%), sabiam ler/escrever ou tinham o 4Âșano (61.5%) e viviam com o companheiro (61,5%). No geral, a maioria das dimensĂ”es obtiveram pontuaçÔes acima de 50. No questionĂĄrio SF-36, a dimensĂŁo Aspetos Sociais (79,49) obtive a melhor pontuação, e as piores pontuaçÔes foram nas dimensĂ”es Aspetos FĂsicos (48,72) e Vitalidade (49,62). As restantes dimensĂ”es obtiveram pontuaçÔes variando entre 52,41 a 64,96. No questionĂĄrio VFQ-25, obteve melhores resultados nas dimensĂ”es Aspetos Sociais (95,51) e VisĂŁo das Cores (92,95) e piores resultados na SaĂșde em Geral (33,33) e Capacidade de Dirigir AutomĂłveis (41,11). Sendo as restantes pontuaçÔes entre 52,31 a 82,27.
ConclusĂŁo: A degenerescĂȘncia macular relacionada com a idade estĂĄ associada a uma diminuição da qualidade de vida e qualidade de vida relacionada com a visĂŁo. Tendo as mulheres uma perceção pior da sua qualidade de vida em relação ao homem.
Introduction: Age-related macular degeneration, as the name suggests, is a degenerative retinal disease that manifests clinically after age 50. Its incidence and prevalence have been increasing due to the aging population, increased risk factors and improved diagnosis. According to the World Health Organization is considered a major cause of blindness in developed countries. Objectives: To evaluate the life quality in patients with macular degeneration and to identify the dimensions of the SF-36 and VFQ-25 questionnaires most affected after the diagnosis of the disease. Material and methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study of a convenience consisted by a sample of 39 individuals diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration followed in an ophthalmologic clinic. Socio-demographic data were collected face-to-face questionnaires for life quality assessment, one generic and other specific for the vision, the SF-36 questionnaire and the VFQ-25 questionnaire, respectively. Both questionnaires have scores ranging from 0 to 100, corresponding to worse and better life quality. Results: Of the 39 participants, 56.4% male and 43.6% were female, with a mean age of 73.72 years, with a minimum and maximum age of 40 and 92 years. The majority of the population were married (64.1%), retired (69.2%), literate or had the 4th year (61.5%) and lived with their partner (61.5%). In general, most of the dimensions obtained scores higher than 50. In the SF-36 questionnaire, the Social Aspects dimension (79.49) obtained the best score, and the worst scores were in the Physical Aspects (48.72) and Vitality (49.62). The remaining dimensions obtained scores ranging from 52.41 to 64.96. In the VFQ-25 questionnaire, it obtained better results in the Social Aspects (95.51) and Colour Vision (92.95) and worst results in Health in General (33.33) and Capacity to Drive Automobiles (41.12). The remaining scores were between 52.31 and 82.27. Conclusion: Age-related macular degeneration is associated with decreased life quality and life quality related to vision. Having women a worse perception of their life quality in relation to the man.
