Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
Moyamoya disease is a chronic (long-term) progressive (that gets worse with time) disease of the blood vessels of the brain (cerebrovascular) that requires regular monitoring to control the disease and its related complications. Moyamoya disease can lead to stroke or bleeding in the brain or stroke. It can also affect brain function and cause disability.
This study aims to investigate whether understanding of the disease, a sense of coherence and social support were significant factors contributing to lower stress, improved health, and quality of life in adolescents with moyamoya disease. This study aims to help health experts to develop a treatment strategy based on a health and wellbeing approach for chronic disease management.
Who can participate?
Adolescents who have had moyamoya disease for longer than one month with no other diseases.
What does the study involve?
Participants will complete questionnaires about social support, sense of coherence, stress, health behavior, health status, and quality of life on a single occasion.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The potential benefits to participants are that they might better understand the factors affecting their health-related quality of life with moyamoya disease and other chronic diseases.
There are no anticipated risks as this study is a survey.
Where is the study run from?
Yonsei University (Korea, South)
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
From November 2017 to October 2018
Who is funding the study?

| Scientific title | Structural equation model of health-related quality of life in adolescents with moyamoya disease: based on the salutogenesis theory |
| Study objectives | Knowledge of moyamoya disease, social support, and sense of coherence affect individual stress and health behaviors, in turn affecting subjective health status, depression, and quality of life |
| Ethics approval(s) | Approved 11/07/2017, Severance Hospital Institutional Review Board (Yonsei University Health System, 50-1 Yeonse-ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul 03722, Korea; +82-02-2228-0450; irb@yuhs.ac) |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Adolescents with Moyamoya disease |
| Intervention | The study involves a cross-sectional survey of Korean adolescents with Moyamoya disease. The study will examine a hypothetical model by integrating the concepts of a structural health-related quality-of-life model based on the salutogenesis theory among adolescents with moyamoya disease in Korea. Data on health-related quality of life of adolescents with moyamoya disease will be collected at a single timepoint using the following scales: social support rating scale, sense of coherence scale, stress scale, health behavior scale, subjective health status scale, and quality-of-life scale. A structural equation model will be used to analyze the data. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
1. Subjective health status measured using a 5-point simple-question Likert scale, ranging from 1 point (very bad) to 5 points (very good) at a single timepoint |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
1. Social support measured using a social support scale (Malecki et al., 2000) at a single timepoint. Higher scores indicate more social support in each area. |
