Introduction

Assessing the quality of life of patients with chronic complications of diabetes and blood pressure leads to planning and measures to prevent or control complications and improve the quality of life of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with hypertension and diabetes types

Materials and Methods

This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 150 subjects of 100 patients (50 type 2 diabetes and 50 hypertension) and 50 healthy individuals from attending patients (lack of diabetes, hypertension and other chronic diseases according to a clinical expert) who had been referred to the clinic at Kosar Hospital (Semnan, Iran) during the first six months of 2017. The data collection tool was a personal characteristics and disease list and a quality of life questionnaire (SF-36).

Results

There were no significant differences in age group, marital status, education and place of residence. The groups were significantly different in terms of overall quality of life score (p=0.013) and in physical dimensions (p=0.001) and psychological symptoms (p=0.013). So that the overall quality of life score of diabetic patients was less likely to have hypertensive patients (p=0.009). Remarkably, the quality of life of patients with type 2 diabetes was lower in the subscales of physical and psychological symptoms in patients with high blood pressure (P<0.001).

Conclusion

Findings showed that the quality of life score of patients with diabetes was lower than the patients with hypertension, especially in physical and psychological symptoms. Therefore, planning to improve the quality of life of patients with diabetes is necessary.
