title: [Effect of rehabilitation on the parameters of quality of life in children with chronic gastroduodenal pathology].
abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate effect of comprehensive rehabilitation on dynamics of characteristics of the quality of life in children with chronic gastroduodenal pathology. The study included 155 children aged 14-15 years examined in the phase of exacerbation of chronic gastroduodenitis (CGD). Sixty one of these patients were given treatment in the "Detskie dyuny" children's sanatorium rehabilitation centre and the remaining 54 received traditional combined therapy services as outpatients (control group). The quality of life was ascertained based on the results of the SF-36 and WHOQOL questionnaires; the Luscher colour test, the CAH scale, and Spielberger-Khanin test anxiety inventory were used to measure the psychophysiological status of the patients. The study has demonstrated high efficacy of comprehensive rehabilitation in children during exacerbation of chronic gastroduodenal pathology that resulted in normalization of their physical and psychophysiological characteristics and improvement of the quality of life.
