Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis is a significant public health issue as it leads to pain, physical functioning problems, and a decrease in quality of life. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between social support, coping strategies for pain, and quality of life among women who underwent knee arthroplasty in Kerman city.
Materials and Methods: Data collection for this study took place between 2020 and the first half of 2021.The statistical population included all women who had undergone knee arthroplasty in Kerman city. Data from 250 female patients who underwent knee arthroplasty were collected through convenience sampling using questionnaires on social support, quality of life, and coping strategies for illness. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. Pearson correlation coefficient and significance level (p-value) were used to examine the relationships between variables.
Results: The results of the mean analysis indicated that the highest mean was related to the component of practical-service support, the functional dimension, and the problem-focused coping strategy. Using Pearson correlation coefficient revealed that social support and quality of life have a significant relationship (p<0.001, r = 0.328). Additionally, there was a significant relationship between social support and dimensions of quality of life, including social, psychological, and environmental health, as well as between social support and both problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that equipping patients with social support resources and establishing proper connections with others would enhance their ability to cope with pain and improve their living conditions and quality of life. |
