BACKGROUND
With a high prevalence of diabetes in India, there is a need to study the impact of this disease on the quality of life (QoL) of the patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This facility-based cross-sectional study assessed the QoL of patients attending the diabetic clinic using the World Health Organization (WHO) QoL BREF instrument in Tamil Nadu. The QoL was analyzed domain-wise and various socio-demographic factors affecting the QoL were studied.
RESULTS
The mean total score of the QoL scale was 58.05 (95% CI, 22.18-93.88). Domain-wise, 63% had good physical, 69% had good psychological, 27% had good social and 85% had good environmental QoL scores. Males, currently married and those with BMI more than 25 had a statistically significantly better QoL compared to their counterparts.
CONCLUSIONS
Diabetes does impair the QoL of patients but not to a great extent. There is a need to specifically target and improve the QoL of women, widowed and separated, and non-obese diabetics who are at risk of a poor QoL. QoL assessment should be routinely practiced in diabetic clinics.
背景
在印度，糖尿病患病率很高，因此有必要研究这种疾病对患者生活质量（QoL）的影响。
材料与方法
这项基于机构的横断面研究，使用世界卫生组织（WHO）QoL BREF工具，对泰米尔纳德邦糖尿病诊所的患者生活质量进行了评估。对生活质量进行了领域分析，并研究了影响生活质量的各种社会人口因素。
结果
生活质量量表的平均总分是58.05（95%置信区间，22.18 - 93.88）。按领域划分，63%的患者身体状况良好，69%的患者心理状况良好，27%的患者社会状况良好，85%的患者环境生活质量得分良好。与对照组相比，男性、目前已婚者以及体重指数超过25的人生活质量在统计学上显著更好。
结论
糖尿病确实会损害患者的生活质量，但程度不大。有必要专门针对并改善生活质量较差风险较高的女性、丧偶和分居者以及非肥胖糖尿病患者的生活质量。糖尿病诊所应常规开展生活质量评估。
