Although randomized trials have proven the benefit of revascularization with the use of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or stenting (CAS) for appropriate patients, health care purchasers increasingly look beyond clinical outcome toward measures of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in apportioning limited resources. 36 patients after TIA participated in this study. One group (n=18) had undergone CEA, whereas the second group (n=18) had undergone CAS. Both groups were matched according to age and sex. The Short Form 36 (SF-36) was used to assess the differences in patient-perceived HRQoL in two groups of patients who had suffered minor cerebral ischemic events. No significant difference in health profile between the CEA and CAS was detected for the eight SF-36 domains. However, the CEA group rated a significantly improved change in general health after one year compared with the CAS group (p<0.001). A greater proportion of the CEA group comparing to the CAS group thought their treatment had been successful and that their health had been improved (p<0.001). Both groups shared the same level of anxiety over potential future cerebral ischemic events (p=0.3). Patients' perception of HRQoL measured by the SF-36 domains was almost identical between the CEA and CAS apart from a small but significant improvement in self-reported overall health in the CEA group after one year follow up. HRQoL outcome measures may be of value in future clinical trials of cerebral revascularization to compare the effectiveness of carotid revascularization with the particular method of operation.

The present study was conducted to investigate occupational stress and general health among university professors, stress is measured by the Walter Gmelch Index (FSI), while general health was screened by the D. Goldberg GHQ-28 test. A collection of qualitative and quantitative data was carried out under the assumption that the stress at work perceived by the person correlates with his general health result. One hundred and twenty-five students (101 men, 20 women; aged 29-62) took part in this study with a kit that includes the two indices (FSI and GHQ-28) and a set of sociodemographic variables. The results revealed that a large part of the participants suffering from chronic stress and almost half of the subjects (48.76%) suffering from psychic disorders or somatization. The study also affirms our starting hypothesis on a significant correlation between the general state of health and the state of perceived stress. Statistical analysis also reveals a correlation between GHQ and certain institutional variables (grade and seniority at work). This study expresses the importance of a psychological first aid kit available to health professionals which makes it possible to estimate the prevalence of psychological distress in a given population and to detect psychosomatic cases which escape the general practitioner.

Background: The purpose of this study was to survey simple and multiple correlations between emotional intelligence and general health in personnel of physical education offices.Material/Methods: The descriptive survey research was adopted for the study. A total of 134 employees completed Schutte and Goldberg and Hiler questionnaires. The emotional intelligence questionnaire includes three subscales: Emotional Appraisal, Emotional Regulation and Utilization of Emotion. The general health questionnaire includes physical complaints, anxiety, social performance disorders and depression. Data was analyzed through Pearson correlation, Stepwise regression, One Way Analysis of Variance and the independent t-test (p ≤ 0/05).Results: The results showed that there were significant negative correlations between emotional intelligence and general health, physical complaints and anxiety among the subjects. However, there was no significant correlation between emotional intelligence and depression and performance disorders. Moreover, the finding shows that utilization of emotional anticipation and general health is significant.Conclusions: It seems that people with higher emotional intelligence have higher general health, too. Thus, based on the findings, it was recommended general health be improved via improving emotional intelligence.
