Quality of Life Influencing Factors

Peking University People's Hospital178 enrolled

Overview

Background: quality of life is impaired in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. The purpose of this study is to explore the mediating effects of self-efficacy, coping, depression, and anxiety on the quality of life of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Methods: It is a cross-sectional study trial. This study aims to enroll 100 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Illness perceptions (Brief Illness Perceptions Questionnaire; BIPQ), coping styles (Carver Brief-COPE scale; B-COPE), depression Patient Health Questionnaire-9 ,PHQ-9),anxiety (The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire, GAD 7) and quality of life (12-item Short Form Health Survey,SF12) will be analysed. This study intends to use correlation analysis and mediation analyses to assess the mediating effects of self-efficacy, coping, depression and anxiety on the quality of life of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12)

The 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) is a 12-item, multipurpose short-form survey that is used to measure generic HRQoL (derived from the SF-36). The findings are weighted and summed to produce clearly interpretable scales for a participant's physical and mental well-being26. SF-12 is divided into two domains: the physical component summary (PCS) and the mental component summary (MCS). Each domain scores from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a better health status. The SF-12's PCS and MCS scores are based on the norms of a broad population in the United States of America, with a mean of 50
