Abstract

Aims: The Quality of Life among Amputees is a multifaceted concept influenced by various factors. This study aimed to evaluate the Quality of Life among Amputees and its associated socio-demographic characteristics. Instrument & Methods: This descriptive correlational study was carried out at the Al-Rusafa Health Directorate in Baghdad City from October 1, 2023, to March 21, 2024. The study sample comprised 200 clients selected through non-probability sampling. The used questionnaire underwent validation by experts, and its reliability was confirmed through a pilot study. Data were collected via interviews and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings: The average age of the participants was 49.68 years, with the majority being male (65.5%), married (63%), and having completed middle school (49.5%). Among the participants, 42.5% were retirees, with most having incomes of 100 to less than 200 dollars per month (47%). Health conditions, particularly in the lower extremities (73%), led to Amputation, with an average of 14.71 years since the Amputation and 48.5% since the use of prostheses. The simple linear regression analysis showed that increased healthcare services were linked to enhanced physical, psychological, social, and overall Quality of Life (p=0.0001). Conclusion: There is a robust and positive correlation between healthcare services for Amputees and their comprehensive QOL, encompassing physical, psychological, and social aspects.
