Abstract:

Objective To explore the current status of optimism and quality of life in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) patients,and analyze the correlation between the two factors. Methods Totally 126 SLE hospitalized patients in a tertiary hospital in Zhengzhou were investigated by general information questionnaire,the Life Orientation Test(LOT) and Medical Outcomes Study Short Form 36(SF-36). The correlation between the two factors was analyzed. Results The score of LOT in SLE patients was(13.82±2.81). The SF-36 score in SLE patients was66.8(53.4,89.3). There were significant differences in optimism score in SLE patients with different education background and SLE disease activity index(P<0.05). The LOT score in SLE patients was positively correlated with the SF-36 score. Conclusion The optimism and quality of life in SLE patients were on a low level. Nurses should pay attention to patients’ physical and mental state,help patients to establish positive and healthy thinking and behavior patterns,and improve patients’ optimistic psychological level and quality of life.
