dc.description.abstract | Objective. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life of patients after
total laryngectomy and to determine the influence of a vocal rehabilitation on the
improvement of the quality of life of these patients.
Methods. The study included 45 patients, 25 patients were in the experimental
group and 20 patients were in the control group. The experimental group consisted of
male respondents after total laryngectomy who mastered esophageal speech, aged 54 to
72 years. A subjective assessment of voice was conducted, using the SF-36 questionnaire
which is valid and culturally adapted version of the Serbian language, consisting of 36
questions, which measures functioning in the following areas: functional ability, physical
ability, emotional capacity, vitality, mental health, social functioning, pain and general
health.
Results. SF-36 has shown that patients after vocal rehabilitation have higher
scores on all subtests. Using the t test for large independent samples, a statistically
significant difference has been found between the experimental group at the beginning
of the measurement and control group on all subtests. Statistical significance is at the
0.01 level. The mean value (M) is lower in the experimental group at the beginning of
measurement than the control group. In contrast to this result, there is no statistically
significant difference between the experimental group at the end of the measurement
and control group.
Conclusion. Vocal rehabilitation was significant in patients after total laryngectomy;
in addition to mastering some of the methods of speech, these patients were able to
overcome the feeling of shame because of their physical appearance after the operation
and to strengthen their self-confidence. | sr |
