Background: Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a long-term and incurable disease that negatively affects the quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to assess the quality of life of type-2 diabetes mellitus patients and its associated factors affecting it.
Aim & Objectives:
- To assess the Quality of life of Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus patients attending tertiary care hospital.
- To assess the factors affecting the Quality of life of Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus patients attending tertiary care hospital.
Settings and Design: Out-patient department of tertiary care hospital, Yavatmal, Central India. Cross-sectional study.
Methods and Material: This cross-sectional study was carried out from Dec 2022 to Feb 2023 among 297 T2DM patients attending tertiary care hospital. A 26-item WHOQoL-BREF questionnaire was used. The Institutional Ethics Committee approved the study, and informed consent was obtained from participants before enrolling in the study.
Statistical analysis used: JASP version 0.18.3 for mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA test, and multiple linear regression.
Results: A total of 297 T2DM patients participated in the study with a mean age of 55.18±11.09 years. Out of total, 57.9% were males, 85.5% of participants rated their QoL as good and were satisfied with it. The mean score of WHOQoL-BREF domains was highest for social relationships (58.78±15.49) followed by environmental (56.74±13.75) and psychological (53.35±12.84), while the lowest scoring domain was physical (51.83±12.31). Two questions were asked regarding individual perception of overall QoL and health, which scored 59.59±19.39 and 55.38±18.73 respectively. The ANOVA test showed statistical significance between education & socio-economic class with all domains of QoL (P<0.05). The multiple linear regression reported that socio-economic class II was independently correlated with all domains of QoL.
Conclusions: The overall QoL among T2DM patients was above average. The education and socioeconomic status of the participants were significantly associated with their QoL.
