Pain and its impact on life of rheumatoid arthritis patient

Original language description

The goal of the article is to show pain as everyday problem of rheumatoid arthritis patients, to compare its perception from gender perspective and to find relation of pain to other areas of the patient's life. The study was implemented within the research project of the Grant Agency of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice number 120/2012/S, "Reflection of quality of life in nursing", under use of two standardized questionnaires, WHOQOL-100 and HAQ. This article presents exclusively the data acquired based on the WHOQOL-100 questionnaire. The research set consisted of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis from all over the Czech Republic. The size of the set was determined by a statistician at 200 individuals suffering from the disease, in a ratio of 150 women and 50 men. The data collection took place from January to May 2013. The statistical data analysis was performed in two stages. The first degree of data sorting was implemented in the SASD program (Statistic Analysis of Social Data); the second degree was implemented in the SPSS program (Statistical Package for the Social Science), version 15.0. The results brought evidence that up to 98,5 % of patients suffer from pain in some form, and that it constitutes an obstacle of different intensity in doing things they need to do for 94,5 % of them. Further, high dependence between facet 1 "pain and discomfort" and facets 9 "mobility" and 2 "energy and fatigue" was demonstrated. Gender-dependent perception does not differ in rheumatoid arthritis patients. The research brought evidence that pain is a very comprehensive problem for rheumatoid arthritis patients. Its impact on other aspects ofthe patient's life is indisputable, and therefore it should not be dealt with only as physical problem.
