Abstract
Quality of life is a multidimensional concept that refers to the individual perception of one's own life and that includes aspects of individual health (cultural, social or psychological). Arthrosis is a progressive condition that involves damage to cartilage, damage to the subchondral bone and changes in the synovial and periarticular structures. Material and method. The study aims to provide information on the impact of degenerative osteoarticular diseases (gonarthrosis and coxarthrosis) while assessing the health of the population in Suceava county (one of the most affected counties in Romania due to the COVID-19 pandemic) by studying a sample of the study population. Based on the results obtained, an analysis can be made and then general ideas about the entire population. Results and discussions. The application of the SF-36 questionnaire helps to identify ways to improve the quality of life of patients diagnosed with degenerative osteoarticular disorders, gonarthrosis and coxarthrosis, and to prevent the negative aspects. In the health field, quality of life is an indicator used to assess the physical, mental and social effects of illness and the applied medical treatments, as well as to analyze the needs of a patient during the illness. Conclusions. The suffering caused by this type of disease has an impact on the quality of life of patients, both physically and emotionally. A special role in assessing the quality of life in these patients is their emotional condition and the acceptance of their functional status, trying to improve it. The quality of life of patients with chronic degenerative osteoarticular diseases is a public health issue, by the duration of the disease, by family, social, economic and medical implications.
