ABSTRACT
Nowadays one of the most important methods for evaluation of treatment and care is to assess the quality of life (QOL).chronic patient like diabetics are face with many disorder in dimensions of QOL.The important question is what factors effect it? In this regard, the researcher wishes to assess the relational pattern between demographic characteristic and dimensions of QOL.So to achieve a pattern which describes the effects of such factors on QOL are of interest. The sample consisted of 117 patients with type 2 diabetes who referred to Sina Hospital of Tabriz. From the total number, 85.5% were female and 14.5% were male. Subjects answered two sets of questionnaires :(1)standard instrument of QOL related to health, (2) specific instrument of diabetes which included nine dimensions:physical function, pain, daily activities, feelings ,sleep, relation with relatives ,overall health , problems and satisfaction with treatment methods The data were analyzed by inferential statistics, Variance Analysis , Pearson Correlation Coefficient, Multi-stage Regression and Linear Regression. The results showed that independent variables (age, presence of medically educated people in family ,bread winner of family, employment and complication ) were 0.52 simultaneously related to dependent variable (physical function) and 0.27 of physical function variance of above variables were determined. Also it was shown that was an inverse and significant correlation between age and physical function (R=0.31,P<0.01).
