Abstract (English): A cohort of 516 patients at two community-based methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) clinics in Guangdong province, China, was interviewed at initiation of treatment and at 1, 3, and 6 months of follow-up to collect demographic information, drug use experience, social support, and changes of quality of life (QOL) over treatment. Covariance analysis and generalized estimation equation model were used to compare the QOL scores over time and to identify factors possibly influencing QOL scores. The results suggested that MMT is effective at improving QOL scores in physical, psychological, and social domains. Being currently employed, having good family relationships, job as the source of income, and particularly a longer time in treatment were significantly associated with QOL improvements in at least one domain. The study's limitations are noted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Nuevos Programas Comunitarios sobre Tratamiento de Mantenimiento con Metadona en Guangdong, China, y su Impacto en la Calidad de Vida del Paciente Se realizaron entrevistas en dos clínicas comunitarias de tratamiento de mantenimiento con metadona (MMT) en la provincia de Guangdong a un cohorte de 516 pacientes al inicio del tratamiento y a 1, 3 y 6 meses de seguimiento para recolectar información demográfica, experiencias en el uso de drogas, sostén social y cambios en la calidad de vida (QOL) a lo largo del tratamiento. Se utilizaron análisis de covarianza y ecuación de estimación generalizadas para comparar los resultados de QOL a lo largo del tiempo e identificar factores que posiblemente influyan en estos resultados. Los resultados obtenidos sugirieron que el MMT es efectivo en el mejoramiento de los resultados de QOL en los aspectos físicos, psicológicos y sociales. Poseer actualmente un empleo, tener buenas relaciones familiares, un trabajo como la fuente de ingresos, y especialmente una mayor duración del tratamiento fueron asociados significativamente con mejoramientos en QOL en al menos uno de los aspectos mencionados. Palabras clave: tratamiento de mantenimiento con metadona (MMT); dependencia de opio; calidad de vida (QOL); evaluación de programa; China [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (French): Nouveaux programmes communautaires de traitement de maintien à la méthadone et leurs impacts sur la qualité de vie des patients, à Guangdong, Chine. Une cohorte de 516 patients provenant de deux cliniques communautaires de traitement de maintien à la méthadone (TMM) dans la province de Guangdong a été interviewée en début de traitement, après un, trois et six mois de suivi afin de collecter des informations démographiques, ainsi que sur la consommation de drogues, le support social et les changements de la qualité de vie (QDV) durant le traitement. Des analyses de covariance et des modèles d'équations d'estimation généralisée ont été utilisés afin de comparer les scores de QDV dans le temps et d'identifier les facteurs pouvant les influencer. Les résultats suggèrent que le TTM est efficace pour améliorer les scores de QDV dans les domaines physiques, psychologiques et sociaux. Avoir présentement un emploi, de bonnes relations familiales, un emploi comme source principale de revenu, et particulièrement, avoir été sous traitement plus longtemps étaient tous des facteurs associés de façon significative avec l'amélioration de la QDV dans au moins un domaine. Mots-clés: traitement de maintien à la méthadone (TMM); dépendance aux opioïdes; qualité de vie (QDV); évaluation de programme; Chine [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
