Abstract
Introduction and objectives

This study aims to describe relationship between physical performance (PP) and health-related quality of life in patients with heart failure (HF).

Methods

This study used a cross-sectional design for data collection. Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) was used as a measurement tool, while the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST) was used to assess PP. The data were processed by Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test, one-way ANOVAs, and Hierarchical multiple regression.

Results

A total of 180 patients with HF participated in this study, with the mean age of respondents being 59.98 (11.86) years old. Among these respondents, 60% were male, with a mean PP of 9.56 (6.94)s and a mean MLHFQ of 43.14 (20.74). The results showed that MLHFQ had a significant correlation with HF medication (r=.16, P<.05), health status (r=.24, P<.01), FTSST (r=.40, P<.01), and MLHFQ was significantly associated with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification (F=8.358, P<.001). There were three variables identified as predictors of MLHFQ, namely health status (β=−2.22), NYHA Class III (β=1.27), and FTSST (β=3.03), and were predicted to account for 31.1% of the variance in MLHFQ.

Conclusions

Efforts to increase PP from patients with HF can be an asset to improve health-related quality of life. Furthermore, health status and NYHA classifications are factors that can significantly affect health-related quality of life of patients with HF.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivos

Este estudio tiene como objetivo describir la relación entre el rendimiento físico (RF) y la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca (IC).

Métodos

Se utilizó un diseño transversal para la recolección de datos. Como herramienta de medición se empleó el cuestionario de MinnesotaLiving with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ), mientras que la prueba Five Times Sit-to-stand (FTSST), para evaluar el RF. Los datos fueron procesados mediante coeficiente de correlación de Pearson, prueba t, ANOVA unidireccional y regresión múltiple jerárquica.

Resultados

Un total de 180 pacientes con IC participaron en este estudio. La edad media de los encuestados fue de 59,98 (11,86) años. Entre estos encuestados, 60% eran varones, con un RF medio de 9,56 (6,94) segundos y un MLHFQ medio de 43,14 (20,74). Los resultados mostraron que MLHFQ tenía una correlación significativa con la medicación HF (r = 0,16, p < 0,05), estado de salud (r = 0,24, p < 0,01), FTSST (r = 0,40, p < 0,01), y el MLHFQ se asoció significativamente con la clasificación de la New York Heart Association (NYHA) (F = 8,358, p < 0,001). Se identificaron tres variables como predictores de MLHFQ: estado de salud (β = -2,22), NYHA clase III (β = 1.27) y FTSST (β= 3.03), y se predijo que representarían 31,1% de la varianza en MLHFQ.

Conclusiones

Los esfuerzos para aumentar la RF de los pacientes con IC pueden ser una ventaja para mejorar la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. Además, las clasificaciones de estado de salud y NYHA son factores que pueden afectar significativamente la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud de los pacientes con IC.
