Diabetes as being a chronic disease with a number of complications deteriorates the quality of life among the people with type 2 diabetes. Health related quality of life is widely used as an important health outcome measure worldwide. This study assessed the quality of life among the people living with type 2 diabetes in rural area of eastern Nepal.
A cross sectional study was conducted among type 2 diabetic patient of rural area of eastern Nepal. Pre-tested Nepali version of D-39 questionnaire was administered through face to face interview to assess the quality of life. Door to door visit was done to identify all the type 2 diabetic patients residing in Baniyani village. Data was entered in Micro-soft excel 2007 and further processed in SPSS v.11.5 for analysis.
Highest quality of life mean (SD) score was in social burden domain (56.26 ± 12.07), followed by sexual functioning domain (54.35 ± 9.47), Anxiety and worry domain (54.33 ± 7.76), energy and mobility domain (51.46 ± 8.73) and diabetes control domain (50.08 ± 10.84). There was negative correlation between age and domains sexual functioning (p = 0.001) and energy and mobility (p = 0.002). In bivariate analysis, there was significance difference by sex in sexual functioning (p = 0.002), educational status in diabetes control (p = 0.021), smoking habit in energy and mobility (p = 0.038), duration of disease in diabetes control (p = 0.002) and sexual functioning (p = 0.001), presence of co-morbidity in social burden (p = 0.034) and family history of diabetes in anxiety and worry (p = 0.042).
Increasing age affects sexual life and mobility of the type 2 diabetic patient. The domain sexual functioning is difference by sex and presence of co-morbidity. Similarly, domain diabetic control is affected by duration of disease and educational status of the patient. And having family history of diabetes affects the mental state of the type 2 diabetic patient.
糖尿病是一种慢性病，会导致 2 型糖尿病患者出现多种并发症，从而降低他们的生活质量。健康相关生活质量已被广泛用作全球重要的健康结果衡量标准。本研究评估了尼泊尔东部农村地区 2 型糖尿病患者的生活质量。
本研究为一项横断面研究，纳入了尼泊尔东部农村地区的 2 型糖尿病患者。使用经过预测试的尼泊尔语版 D-39 问卷，通过面对面访谈评估生活质量。对居住在巴尼亚尼村的所有 2 型糖尿病患者进行挨家挨户的访问以确定其身份。将数据录入 Micro-soft excel 2007 并进一步在 SPSS v.11.5 中进行处理分析。
生活质量的最高平均（SD）评分出现在社会负担领域（56.26±12.07），其次是性功能领域（54.35±9.47）、焦虑和担忧领域（54.33±7.76）、能量和移动性领域（51.46±8.73）和糖尿病控制领域（50.08±10.84）。年龄与性功能（p=0.001）和能量和移动性（p=0.002）领域呈负相关。在单变量分析中，性别在性功能（p=0.002）、教育程度在糖尿病控制（p=0.021）、吸烟习惯在能量和移动性（p=0.038）、疾病持续时间在糖尿病控制（p=0.002）和性功能（p=0.001）、合并症在社会负担（p=0.034）和糖尿病家族史在焦虑和担忧（p=0.042）方面存在统计学差异。
年龄的增长会影响 2 型糖尿病患者的性生活和移动能力。性功能领域的差异与性别和合并症的存在有关。同样，糖尿病控制领域的差异受疾病持续时间和患者的教育程度的影响。糖尿病家族史会影响 2 型糖尿病患者的精神状态。
