- W2138474872 abstract "ALS is a neurodegenerative disease without curative treatment. The knowledge of the relationship between patients and their next of kin with respect to quality of life (QoL) is deficient. The overall aim of this thesis is to describe different perspectives of QoL of patients with ALS and their next of kin, and to describe strengths and hindrances in the manageability of their daily lives. The participants were recruited from Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. In the quantitative studies I–III, 35 couples participated. Fourteen patients and thirteen next of kin participated in the qualitative study (IV). Few changes were found over time in studies I and III, but in patients, there was a decreased rating in some of the physical subscales and in general health in the health-related QoL (HRQoL). The ratings in those subscales were worse in patients than in next of kin, even though next of kin also gave a decreased rating in some of the physical and mental subscales. Next of kin estimated individual QoL to be worse than patients did. No changes were found over time in anxiety, depression, or individual QoL. The ratings in discrete pairs were often similar, indicating that if one person felt bad, the other one did also. Even though the pairs gave relatively good ratings of QoL, study II showed that QoL was worse than in a subset of the general population. Study IV found a constant fluctuation between factors that facilitated and hindered the manageability for each individual person, as well as similarities and differences between patients and" @default.
