目的了解甲真菌病对患者生活质量的影响。方法采用国际通用的半定势问卷,由专科医师进行现场调查。结果共调查118例甲真菌病患者,男52例(44.1%),女66例(55.9%)。趾甲真菌病79例(66.9%),指甲真菌病70例(59.3%),趾甲和指甲均受累31例(26.3%)。主观健康感受有影响者79例(66.9%),情感受影响者108例(91.5%),思维受影响者111例(94.1%),有社交障碍者102例(86.4%)。女性甲真菌病患者在情感和思维影响方面的评分均显著高于男性(P值均〈0.05)。不同病程患者各生活质量因子评分间的差异均无统计学意义(P值均〉0.05),病程与社交障碍呈正相关(r=0.210,P〈0.05)。病甲数目与主观健康因子(r=0.206,P〈0.05)和情感影响因子(r=0.290,P〈0.01)呈正相关。指甲受累数目与主观健康因子(r=0.258)和社交障碍因子(r=0.252)呈正相关(P值均〈0.01)。结论甲真菌病不仅影响患者的指、趾甲功能及美观,还对患者的生活质量有一定的影响。
