Abstract
AIM: To research the quality of life(QOL)and influencing factors in patients with diabetic retinopathy(DR). <p>METHODS: A total of 103 diagnosed case of diabetic retinopathy from January 2017 to August 2017 in Daping Hospital of Chongqing were enrolled in this study. The questionnaire survey was conducted using Scale of Quality of Life in Patients with Visual Impairment(SQQL-VI)and social support revalued scale. The factors influencing their quality of life were also analyzed. The data were analyzed by SPSS 25.0 software. Proportions were compared by using the chi-square test and the means were compared by using the <i>t</i>-test. The factors of DR such as age, gender, education and social support were analyzed using stepwise multiple linear regression. <p>RESULTS: The scores in the patients with diabetic retinopathy included total quality of life 63.59±9.58, symptoms and visual function 53.13±8.51, body function 28.39±3.86, social activities 27.95±3.63, psychological aspects 27.78±3.85. The single factor analysis showed that there were significant differences in age, education level occupation, monthly income, the style of medical cost, course of disease, and social support(<i>P</i><0.05). Multivariate linear regression indicated that age, education level, the style of medical cost, course of disease, and social support were statistically significantly associated with the quality of life(<i>P</i><0.05). <p>CONCLUSION: To improve the quality of life of DR patients, it is essential to reduce the financial burden and increase the social support.
