Summary:
Purpose: to assess the clinical effectiveness of various methods for studying the quality of life (QOL) of visually strenuous work (VSW) patients with symptoms of computer visual syndrome (CVS). Material and Methods. 78 patients aged 24-36 years were examined, whose professional daily activities were characterized as VSW associated with electronic information display systems. Each of the patients underwent a single examination of 28 indicators of the functional state of the visual analyzer. The original (main: KZS-22) and traditional (control: ESAR, CVS-Q, OSDI) questionnaires were used as methods for assessing QOL. The analysis of the results was carried out on the basis of an assessment of the Spearman rank correlation coefficient (CC) between QOL and visual indicators. Results. The obtained data of the comparative assessment indicate that the value of the average CC is significantly (by 0.14-0.26 relative units) higher in the main questionnaire in comparison with the control ones. Along with this, in relation to the questionnaire KZS-22, a lower frequency of occurrence of weak (by 14.3-32.2%) and moderate (by 14.3-25.0%) and a higher frequency of occurrence of a noticeable (by 25,0-32.2%) of communication density according to the Chaddock Scale. Conclusion. The original method (KZS-22) for assessing the QOL of a patient with symptoms of CVS is characterized (in comparison with the traditional: ESAR, CVS-Q, OSDI) by a significantly higher level of clinical effectiveness.
