Abstract

Introduction: The quality of life (QOL) is an important indicator in management of the patients with DIABETES MELLITUS. The assessment of the QOL in patients with diabetes has been ignored in the kashan city. This investigation is performed in order to study the QOL and other associated factors in diabetes in Kashan diabetes center in 2006.Methods: In a cross-sectional study the three dimensions of QOL (general, health related and total) were evaluated among the random selection of 310 patients with diabetes referring to Kashan Diabetes Ceneter in 2006. A standard questionnaire was employed for this study. The relationship between QOL and other variables were analysed by SPSS 16 using T student, pearson, chi 2 and regression statistical methods.Results: The 66.1% of the patients had low Total QOL. The HEALTH RELATED QOL was low in 73.9% patients while the general QOL was low in 51.6% of patients. Only 11.3% of patients had high Total QOL. Insulin therapy, the kidney disease and hypertension had adverse affect in Total QOL (P>0.005). The kind of diabetes, BMI, age and marital status had no significant relationship with QOL.Conclusion: The QOL in all dimensions was low in majority of patients. To improve the QOL in the patients, the management of the patients should focus on decreasing the complications of diabetes.
