Introduction: The study aimed to assess the influence of rhinoplasty on the quality of different aspects of life. The study group included 79 patients with congenital or posttraumatic nasal deformities (38 males, 41 females) aged from 17 to 49 (mean age 20 years) with open septorhinoplasty. Materials and Methods: Quality of life was assessed before and 3 months after surgery, using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Other patient data including demographic data, other surgeries and comorbidities were also registered. Completion of 71 preoperative and 70 postoperative questionnaires was accomplished. R esults showed statistically significant differences in the quality of life in all domains. Discussion and conclusion: Based on the conducted studies and after analysis of available literature, it may be concluded that functional and plastic surgeries including septorhinoplasty have an influence on the quality of life. To control postoperative results, tools evaluating this aspect should be used.

Wprowadzenie: Celem pracy była ocena wpływu plastyki nosa na jakość różnych aspektów życia. Badaniem objęto 79 pacjentów z pourazowymi lub wrodzonymi deformacjami nosa (38 mężczyzn, 41 kobiet) w wieku od 17 do 49 lat (średni wiek 20 lat) poddawanych operacji otwartą techniką rynoseptoplastyki. Materiały i metody: Jakość życia oceniano przed i 3 miesiące po operacji za pomocą kwestionariusza WHOQOL-BREF. Ponadto zarejestrowano również inne dane pacjentów, w tym dane demograficzne, przebyte operacje i choroby współistniejące. Wypełniono 71 kwestionariuszy przedoperacyjnych i 70 pooperacyjnych. Wyniki: Wyniki wykazały statystycznie istotne różnice w jakości życia we wszystkich domenach. Dyskusja i wnioski: Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań i po analizie dostępnej literatury można wyciągnąć wniosek, że operacje funkcjonalne i plastyczne, w tym septorynoplastyka, mają wpływ na jakość życia. Do kontrolowania wyników pooperacyjnych powinny być używane narzędzia oceniające ten aspekt.

Introduction Along with the rising life expectancy, there occurs an increased interest in geriatric care and in assessment of life quality in elderly persons. This study sought to examine the effects of physical activity on the quality of life in students of the University of the Third Age (UTA). Another purpose was to determine correlations between physical activity at a young age and the level of health state and physical activity at the time of the research as well as assessing the effects of socio-demographic factors on the quality of life in elderly individuals. Material and methods The study included 138 UTA students (113 females and 25 males) aged 50 and above from Warminsko-mazurskie region. The questionnaire consisting of two parts was applied as a research tool. The first part included the authors’ own questionnaire with general questions as well as questions regarding physical activity levels at a young age and at the time of the research. The second part was made up of the standardised WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire (shorter version of WHOQOL) which was used to assess the subjects’ quality of life. Results No significant differences between physical activity levels at a young age and at the time of the research were noted (p < 0.05). Self-evaluation of both life quality and heath state was significantly higher in individuals engaged in vigorous and moderate physical activity (p < 0.05) than in the other group. Conclusions Physical activity of UTA students determines their quality of life and health state. Socio-demographic factors such as sex, age and a place of living influence the scores regarding the quality of life in WHOQOL-BREF domains.
