This study aimed to assess the relationships between socioeconomic position, perceived stress and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) of patients with hypertension. Data were obtained using the baseline survey of 258 patients from the Social Determinants and Inequities in the Control of Blood Hypertension Program (ProDSICHA). HRQoL was measured with SF-8 Health Survey. Socioeconomic position was measured using education, and the MacArthur Scale. Stress was measured with Perceived Stress Scale. A higher educational level was associated with a higher perception of stress (Coeff = 0.78, = 0.019). Also, a lower position in the community was associated with a higher perception of stress (Coeff = -0.56, = 0.027). A higher level of perceived stress was associated with a higher level of mental health (Coeff = 0.64, = 0.000). No statistical differences were found in the relations between socioeconomic position and physical HRQoL. These findings warrant further research to understand the role of socioeconomic position in physical HRQoL.
本研究旨在评估高血压患者的社会经济地位、感知压力与健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）之间的关系。数据来自高血压控制项目（ProDSICHA）中258名患者的基线调查。使用SF-8健康调查来测量HRQoL。社会经济地位通过教育程度和麦克阿瑟量表来衡量。压力通过感知压力量表来测量。较高的教育水平与较高的压力感知相关（系数 = 0.78，P = 0.019）。此外，在社区中的较低地位与较高的压力感知相关（系数 = -0.56，P = 0.027）。较高水平的感知压力与较高水平的心理健康相关（系数 = 0.64，P = 0.000）。在社会经济地位与身体HRQoL之间的关系中未发现统计学差异。这些发现值得进一步研究，以了解社会经济地位在身体HRQoL中的作用。
