Abstract

Background: In the last few decades, QUALITY OF LIFE (QOL) has become known as an important concept in medical research. In this study, two standard QOL questionnaires were chosen for evaluation of patients’ personality characteristics: 1) World Health Organization QUALITY OF LIFE (WHOQOL) and 2) Iranian Diabetics QUALITY OF LIFE (IRDQOL). The main aim of this study was to compare two standard QUALITY OF LIFE questionnaires for evaluation of the relationship between personality characteristics and glycemic control in diabetic patients.Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 256 type 2 diabetic patients with a history of DIABETES for more than one year. Validity and reliability measures were determined for the two questionnaires. HBA1C was measured through calorimetric method.Results: The mean of physical dimension scores on IRDQOL questionnaire was significantly lower than that on the WHOQOL questionnaire. No significant differences were observed between the other dimensions of the two questionnaires. Positive correlations were seen between different dimensions of each questionnaire. There was a high correlation between the different dimensions of each questionnaire and its related QOL. The two questionnaires did not indicate any correlations between glycemic control and different dimensions of QOL.Conclusion: The two questionnaires have reliability for the total QOL; however, the distribution of questions in IRDQOL is not equal. The quality of the evaluation of patients’ personality characteristics by IRDQOL is less than that of WHOQOL. None of the questionnaires indicated any relationship between personal characteristics and glycemic control.
