Zusammenfassung
Ziel dieser Studie war es, nach standardisierten Kriterien eine Deutsche Version des validierten Kurz-Instruments zur Messung der Lebensqualität bei Patienten mit Bluthochdruck anzufertigen. Das Instrument eignet sich für Studien zur Wirksamkeit antihypertensiver Therapien. Aber auch in der täglichen Praxis lassen sich mit diesem Instrument Beeinträchtigungen der Lebensqualität durch Antihypertensiva, vor allem sexuelle Funktionsstörungen, frühzeitig erkennen und durch Therapiemodifizierung beheben.
Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare according to standardised criteria a German version of the validated short instrument for the quality of life in patients suffering from hypertension. This instrument is appropriate for clinical trials investigating the effectiveness of antihypertensive treatments. But also in the daily routine this instrument enables one to identify any impairment of life quality due to antihypertensive treatment as early as possible, especially sexual dysfunction, and to react appropriately with treatment adaptations.
