Abstract
© 2018, Medical Association of Thailand. All rights reserved. Objective: To analyze the relationships between seven lifestyle dimensions (eating, living, sleeping & rest, sexual activity, communication, working, and learning) and three common hand diseases (carpal tunnel syndrome [CTS], trigger finger, and de Quervain’s disease). These relationships were analyzed from two perspectives: whether each lifestyle dimension affects any ofthe diseases and whether each disease affects any offthe lifestyle dimensions. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 80 patients who had been diagnosed with CTS, trigger finger, or de Quervain’s disease during 2015 and2016. The 7 lifestyle dimensions [7LSD] questionnaire and the Thai version ofthe Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand [DASH] questionnaire were used to evaluate the patients. The association between each ofthe diseases and the 7 lifestyle dimensions as well as the correlation between the 7LSD questionnaire and DASH score were analyzed. Results: The living dimension affected CTS and de Quervain’s disease and the working dimension affected trigger finger (p<0.05). On the other hand, all three diseases affected the living dimension and CTS affected the sleeping & rest dimension (p<0.05). The correlation between the 7LSD questionnaire and DASH score regarding the extent to which each disease affected the lifestyle dimension was moderate correlated (p<0.05). Conclusion: There is a relationship between hand diseases and three ofthe 7 lifestyle dimensions: the living, working, and sleeping and rest dimensions.
