Purpose: To identify patients who are at risk for poor health related quality of life after acutemyocardial infarction (AMI).Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 49 patients with the discharge diagnosis of acutemyocardial infarction after 18 months period of time. The quality of life was assessed by usingSF-36 questionnaire.Results: Female patients and patients with comorbidity had lower scores in SF-36 subscalesimplying poorer quality of life. Significant differences were also observed in working status.The three quality of life domains were significantly negatively correlated with age and thenumber of children. In terms of education time length; five domain scores and in terms of timespan without infarction; only one domain was significantly positively correlated.Conclusion: Sex, age, socioeconomic factors, comorbidity, time span without infarction are themost important predictors of health related quality of life after AMI

Amaç: Akut miyokard infarktüs (AMI) sonrası hangi hastaların düşük yaşam kalitesi açısındanrisk altında olduğunun tanımlanması amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Bu çalışma AMI tanısı ile taburcu edilmiş 49 hastanın 18 ay sonra değerlendirildiğikesitsel bir çalışmadır. Yaşam kalitesi, SF-36 kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Bayan hastalar ve komorbiditesi olanlar SF-36 alt ölçeklerinde düşük skorlar eldeetmişlerdir ki bu da düşük yaşam kalitesini göstermektedir. Çalışma durumlarına göre de anlamlıfarklar saptanmıştır. Üç yaşam kalitesi alanı ile yaş ve çocuk sayısı arasında anlamlı derecedenegatif korelasyon saptanmıştır. Eğitim süresi açısından beş alanda, enfarktüs olmadan geçensüre için sadece tek anlamda anlamlı düzeyde pozitif korelasyon bulunmuştur.Sonuç: Cinsiyet, yaş, sosyoekonomik faktörler, komorbidite ve enfarktüs olmaksızın geçen süre;AMI sonrası yaşam kalitesinin önemli belirleyicileridir
