BACKGROUND: @entity1 -centered outcomes for @entity1058 ( @entity737 ) @entity1 have not been previously studied. This study examined health-related quality of life (HRQL) and its relation with @entity1457 -related @entity148 , @entity1457 , @entity1 acceptance of the @entity737 , and demographic and clinical characteristics among a sample of Chinese @entity737 @entity1 . METHODS: Eighty-five @entity737 recipients completed the Chinese versions of the Short Form (SF-12) Health Survey, Florida @entity1 Acceptance Survey (FPAS), and @entity148 ( @entity148 ), and a demographic sheet during their follow-up visit. RESULTS: The mean scores of physical component summary and mental component summary ( @entity64671 ) of @entity737 @entity1 (41.7 and 46.6, respectively) were lower than the Hong Kong Chinese normative data. As expected, @entity64671 was negatively correlated with @entity148 (r =-0.38, P < 0.01) and positively correlated with @entity1 acceptance (r = 0.50, P < 0.01). Shock @entity148 was negatively correlated with @entity1 acceptance of the @entity737 (r =-0.58, P < 0.01). Age was positively associated with FPAS (r = 0.55, P = 0.014) while negatively related with @entity148 (r =-0.28, P = 0.003). The experience of @entity1457 (yes/no) was not associated with any differences but shock frequency groups (no shocks, 1-2 shocks, and >= 3) and gender were significantly different on @entity148 but not on general mental functioning. CONCLUSION: Higher ICD @entity148 was associated with lower HRQL and lower @entity737 acceptance. Age, female, and clinical characteristics such as @entity6 , @entity301 , and @entity1457 experience can influence @entity1 -centric outcomes of HRQL, FPAS, and @entity148 . These results extend the evidence for increased clinical attention in Chinese @entity1 to specific outcomes such as @entity148 and its impact on HRQL.
