Abstract
هدف الدراسة هو تقیم المشاکل الصحیة المتعلقة بنوعیة الحیاة لمرضى السکری النوع الأول وتحدید العلاقة بین بعض صفات المریض مع المشاکل الصحیة المتعلقة بنوعیة الحیاة. استخدمت هذه الدراسة المدخل الغیر تجریبی النوع الوصفی. ونظمت الدراسة فی مستشفى ابن سینا التعلیمی مدینة الموصل. وتتکون العینة العمدیة من (600) مریض الذین یزورون مستشفى ابن سینا التعلیمی ولجمع معلومات الدراسة فقد بُنی الاستبیان معتمداً على الدراسات السابقة وعلى استعراض المصادر المتعلقة بالموضوع. یتألف الاستبیان من جزئین: تضمن الجزء الأول (6) فقرات والتی رکزت على الصفات الدیموغرافیة لمرضى السکری مثل ( الجنس, العمر، الحالة الاجتماعیة, المهنة, التحصیل الدراسی والسکن). وتألف الجزء الثانی من (5) فقرات رئیسیة التی شملت الاستقلالیة, النشاطات الجسمیة الیومیة, الجوانب الاجتماعیة - النفسیة، المعتقدات والبیئة). وتضمنت مجموع الأسئلة (80) فقرة, حیث استخدمت ثلاث اختبارات معیاریة فی تقدیر المقیاس : الرقم (2) یعنی نعم, والرقم (1) یعنی أحیانا, والرقم (0) یعنی کلا. وتحددت مصداقیة المحتوى بواسطة عرض الاستبیان على هیئة تتألف من (12) خبیر. وقد قیم الثبات الداخلی للاستبیان بواسطة حساب معامل الارتباط کرونباج إلفا. أظهرت تحلیل البیانات أن هناک ترابط إحصائی معنوی لفقرات المشاکل الصحیة المتعلقة بنوعیة الحیاة: الاستقلالیة, النشاطات الجسمیة الیومیة, الجوانب الاجتماعیة – النفسیة، المعتقدات والبیئة. أستنتج الباحث أن الصحة المتعلقة بنوعیة الحیاة ممکن أن تقاس بواسطة أدوات ,استقلالیة مرضى السکری والنشاطات الجسمیة الیومیة, الجوانب الاجتماعیة – النفسیة، المعتقدات والبیئة وتأثرت بصفاتهم الدیموغرافیة (الجنس, العمر، الحالة الاجتماعیة, المهنة، التحصیل الدراسی والسکن) بالاعتماد على النتائج والاستنتاجات لهذه الدراسة, أوصى الباحث بدراسات أخرى التی ستُحسن الأداة المبینة عن طریق هذه الدراسة من جوانب المصداقیة والثبات ونوعیة الأسئلة.
