Purpose: To assess the health related quality of life of the person with GBS attending at
specialized rehabilitation centre. Objectives: To evaluate the health related quality of life
of GBS patients through the evaluation of physical functioning (PF), Role-emotional (RP),
Bodily pain (BP), General health (GH), Vitality (VT), Social functioning (SF), Roleemotional (RE), Mental health (MH). Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study. Total
45 participants were selected conveniently for this study from Neurology Unit, Centre for
the rehabilitation of the paralyzed (CRP), Savar, Dhaka. Data was collected by using a
semi-structure questionnaire and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) was assessed by
the Short Form-36v2 (SF-36v2) health survey questionnaire. The study was conducted by
using quantitative descriptive analysis (Chi-squire test & Pearson correlation test) through
using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) software 25.0 version. Results:
Among 45 GBS patients evaluation, the majority are male 84.40% (n=38) participants and
female are 15.60% (n=7). About 2.20% (n=1) participants were within healthy state,
6.70%(n=3) participants were within minor symptoms and capable running, 57.80%
(n=26) participants were within Able to walk 10m or more without assistance but unable
to run, 28.90% (n=13) participants were within Able to walk 10m across an open space
with help, 4.40% (n=2) participants were within Bedridden or chair bound. Among SF36
domains Bodily pain (77.69±21.23) and Mental health (75.58±11.04) has shown good
functional improvement rather than other domains. General health (61.67±11.18) &
Vitality (68.76±9.30) has shown fair functional improvement and Physical functioning
(47.84± 24.83), Role of physical (36.02±14.09) & Emotional (41.98±11.43) status, Social
functioning (41.98±14.89) has shown poor functional improvement. The lowest mean
score indicate the poor quality of life and highest mean score indicate the good quality of
life. There is a significant association between gender of participants and GBS disability
score (P<0.05). Conclusion: GBS is an auto-immune condition which causes individual’s
quality of life declining. The GBs affected persons reported low scores on all of the SF-36
dimensions that characterize poor quality of life (QOL) among all. The study demonstrated
that GBS greatly affects quality of life and gives rise to more problems, especially in the
areas of physical and mental health. It is necessary to take steps to improve the physical
vi
and emotional status of persons with GBS, as this will eventually lead to improvement in
their quality of life.
Key words: Health related quality of life (HRQoL), Person with Disability (PWD),
