Abstract:
Background and Aims
From 1948 in which the World Health Organization emphasized on health as a complete physical, mental and social one, and not merely the absence of disease and disability, the concept of quality of life has been changed, and subsequently health care researches have been gradually increased. The most common method is oral contraceptives, LD, So, due to controversies about different methods of contraception, this study tries to investigate the effect of the most common method, LD, on women's quality of life.
Materials and Methods
This study was a descriptive-analytic one. The quality of life of two groups of women, i.e. new applicants of LD (190 students), and the old LD users (200 patients) referring to different health centers of Urmia University of Medical Sciences were collected and compared. The instrument used in this study was a two-part questionnaire containing demographic questions, and Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL_BREF). The data were analyzed by using SPSS program (ver.13) to obtain the absolute frequency and percentage, mean, standard deviation, chi-square tests, t-test, and analysis of variance.
Results
In this study, two groups were matched and made similar concerning their age, husband's age, and number of children. Except physical dimension, the quality of life scores between the two groups were not significantly different. In the group who had taken LD for more than a year, their physical scores had increased significantly.
Conclusion
According to the results of this study and other studies, the reason for average increase in the physical dimension, can be the result of the direct and obvious effect of LD on reducing dysmenorrhea, amount and duration of menstrual bleeding, the physical symptoms of PMS, acne, etc.
