Summary
Patients: The primary aim of the study is to determine the values related to the sense of loss of dignity using the PDI-CZ questionnaire in patients with rheumatological diseases. The study population consisted of 170 patients with rheumatological disease who were hospitalized in a selected teaching hospital in the Czech Republic.
Results: Statistically significant correlations were found between the mean PDI-CZ tool summary score and psychological functions (r = –0.308), activities of daily living (r = –0.458), and pain ratings (r = 0.307).
Discussion: Rheumatology patients often find their disease interferes with their identity. The disease affects their external body image and patients may feel strong anxiety about the future. Thus, if we want to objectively assess the quality of life of a rheumatology patient, we must also assess the effects of the patient’s perception of personal dignity.
Conclusion. The PDI in everyday situations may offer new opportunities for physicians and nurses to better understand and explore the problems and concerns of patients with chronic illness.
