Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic disease that can bring about the sufferer's self-stigma and also affect his quality of life. A number of studies report that living with TB has a negative influence on the quality of life of sufferers even with or without self-stigma. The purpose of this study was to identify the quality of life of TB patients who experienced self-stigma. This research is a descriptive study, sample were 31 pulmonary TB patients. Data was collected using a questionnaire. Data analyzed by using frequency distribution and percentage. The researcher first screened TB patients who experienced self-stigma. The results showed that 25 people (80.64%) respondents experienced mild self-stigma. A total of 9 respondents (36%) had a quality of life score in the good category and as many as 16 respondents (64%) had enough category with an average quality of life score is 56.57. While respondents who had moderate self-stigma were 6 people (19.36%) with a good quality of life score was 1 person (16.67%) and enough category quality of life score were 5 people (83.33%) with an average quality of life score is 49.92.

Glaucoma is a neuro-optic disease characterized by an increase of IOP and progressive and incurable. Most cases of glaucoma do not show initial symptoms until there is a decrease in vision to blindness. This visual impairment can have an impact on the individual's ability to doing daily activities and will affect the quality of life-related to the visual function. This study aims to analyze the quality of life (vision function) in glaucoma patients at dr. Soebandi hospital, Baladhika Husada hospital, and Bina Sehat hospital in Jember Regency. The type of research is descriptive quantitative. 73 respondents were obtained by purposive sampling technique. Data collection using the Glaucoma Quality of Life 15 questionnaire. Data analysis using univariate. The results of the study were 47 respondents (64.4%) had a good quality of life and 26 respondents (35.6%) had a poor quality of life. In conclusion, the quality of life (vision function) of glaucoma patients is in a good category. This means that respondents can still do their daily activities independently with the help of glasses or not. The implication of this research is that nurses act as educators and counselors to provide all information about glaucoma and determine further planning to help improve patients' quality of life.

 Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the difference in quality of life of stunting children in Enrekang District based on their caries status. Material and Methods: This study was an observational analitic study with a cross sectional design, conducted in Buntu Batu, Baraka, and Malua Sub-district of Enrekang District on April 29-May 3, 2019. Height measurements, def-t/DMF-T, pufa/PUFA  assessment of stunting children 6-12 years old, and assessment of quality of life related to oral health of children 8-12 years using the CPQ questionnaire. Data were collected, 123 children suffered from stunting. Results: Based on the Mann Whitney Test, p value  < 0.05 showed that there were differences that statistically significant on def-t and pufa to quality of life of 8-10 years. The p value > 0.05 indicates that there are no significant differences in def-t/DMF-T and pufa/PUFA to quality of life of 11-12 years stunting children. Conclusion: There are differences in caries of primary teeth between stunting children aged 8 -10 years to their quality of life. At the age of 11-12 years there is no difference in caries to quality of life in Enrekang District.KeywordsCaries; Quality of life; Stunting.

Abstract Chronic tinnitus is a complex, multi-factorial symptom that requires careful assessment and management. Evidence-based therapeutic approaches involve audiological and psychological treatment components. However, not everyone benefits from treatment. The identification and characterisation of patient subgroups (or “phenotypes”) may provide clinically relevant information. Due to the large number of assessment tools, data-driven methods appear to be promising. The acceptance of these empirical results can be further strengthened by a comprehensive visualisation. In this study, we used cluster analysis to identify distinct tinnitus phenotypes based on self-report questionnaire data and implemented a visualisation tool to explore phenotype idiosyncrasies. 1228 patients with chronic tinnitus from the Charité Tinnitus Center in Berlin were included. At baseline, each participant completed 14 questionnaires measuring tinnitus distress, -loudness, frequency and location, depressivity, perceived stress, quality of life, physical and mental health, pain perception, somatic symptom expression and coping attitudes. Four distinct patient phenotypes emerged from clustering: avoidant group (56.8%), psychosomatic group (14.1%), somatic group (15.2%), and distress group (13.9%). Radial bar- and line charts allowed for visual inspection and juxtaposition of major phenotype characteristics. The phenotypes differed in terms of clinical information including psychological symptoms, quality of life, coping attitudes, stress, tinnitus-related distress and pain, as well as socio-demographics. Our findings suggest that identifiable patient subgroups and their visualisation may allow for stratified treatment strategies and research designs.

Background Most women who undergo mastectomy for breast cancer use external breast prostheses. Yet, little is known about patterns of use, satisfaction levels, and quality of life associated with their use as compared to other options. Patients and Methods We report longitudinal, self-report questionnaire data regarding prosthetic use from 592 Italian mastectomy patients. Women who report satisfaction with their prostheses are compared on medical, demographic, and quality of life variables to a matched sample of women who report dissatisfaction. We also compare matched samples of women who do not use prostheses and women who had reconstruction to prosthetic users. Results Most women used and were satisfied with their prostheses. However, there was a small group of women who were dissatisfied. These women reported greater disruption to their sense of feminility and worse quality of life in some areas. We found few differences between prosthetic users and women who used either of the other two options available following mastectomy - taking no action to restore the appearance of the amputated breast or having reconstructive surgery. Conclusions No one technique for restoring the appearance of the mastectomized breast is necessary to optimize quality of life for all women. Physicians should describe the options to women, along with the average satisfaction rates for women choosing those options, and help women to make the best personal decisions.
