Abstract
Because the prognosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been much improved by recent progress in the treatment of this disease, improvement of quality of life (QOL) will be required more and more. However, QOL in SLE has not been well studied in comparison to that in rheumatoid arthritis. Fifty-four patients with systemic lupus erythematosus were asked about healthy feeling, acceptance of disease and the extent of satisfaction with their life. The percentage of patients who gave affirmative answers to healthy feeling, acceptance, and satisfaction was 64, 87, and 50, respectively. These three parameters were correlated with the following factors; 1. physical activity, especially that for daily living, 2. understanding in the family and workplace, and 3. depression and anxiety, whereas acceptance was not correlated with disease activity. Due to having a chronic disease, there are depression and anxiety derived from loss of existence in the family or workplace in their minds. In order to resolve these issues, education and explanation about the disease is needed for the family and society as well as for the patients. Although compliance of the patients in answering the questionnaire was easily obtained, the reliability and reproducibility, and the relationship between the items and the low-ranking factors should be investigated using a larger number of patients.
