Abstract
Adolescents with SLE suffer from various symptoms caused by their illness. The top three most common symptoms are pain, stress, and fatigue. These symptoms may affect the quality of life as a whole. To date, the study of relationships among these symptoms and the quality of life in adolescents was not found. This research aimed to study the relationships between pain, stress, fatigue and quality of life in adolescents with SLE. The sample consisted of 102 adolescents with SLE, aged 10-19 years old, were visited the outpatient department at two tertiary hospitals in Khon Kaen province. Data were collected using previous pain assessment, stress assessment, fatigue assessment, and quality of life assessment scales. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficients. Result showed that the pain was negatively correlated with the quality of life in adolescents with SLE (r =-.29, p=.003). The stress had negative relationship with the quality of life in adolescents with SLE (r = -.34, p=.000). The fatigue had negative relationship with the quality of life in adolescents with SLE (r = -.59, p=.000). This research suggests that nurses should focus on reducing pain, stress, and fatigue, in order to improve the quality of life
in adolescents with SLE.
