“…Consistent with previous research, the duration of diabetes, the presence of complications of diabetes [3,5,12] and marital status [5,7,13] significantly affected the HR-QOL of people with diabetes. Presence of complications was the most influential variable affecting the HRQOL in this study, especially the domain of physical health.…”

“…People with diabetes in this sample scored highest on social relationships, whereas [4], and people with diabetes in Gaza attained the highest score on the social relationship domain [7]. The above differences in the mean scores of HRQOL and its domains among people with diabetes is evidence that the HRQOL is a subjective concept and is perceived differently by people in different cultures [4,5,9,11,22]. There are some characteristics of the UAE culture that may explain the moderately high HRQOL in the current sample even in the presence of a chronic disease.…”

“…Sociodemographic variables such as sex [5][6][7][8]12,13], age, marital status [5,7,13], income [7], education [7,9,14], and disease-related variables such as type [3,5,11] and duration of diabetes [3,5,12] and presence of complications of diabetes [3,5,12] can influence the perceptions of HRQOL among people with diabetes.…”

“…The burdens associated with diabetes, such as anxiety, regimented lifestyle and long-term complications have prompted researchers and clinicians to examine the impact of the disease on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of people with diabetes. Several studies have demonstrated that diabetes has a negative influence on the overall HRQOL and its domains of physical, psychological and social relationships and environment [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

This study aimed to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of Emirati people with diabetes and to explore the sociodemographic and disease-related variables affecting it. The Arabic version of the World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire, short version (WHOQOL-BREF) was administered to 200 people with diabetes. The overall mean score was 63.1 (SD 15.0), ranging from 61.5 to 65.5 on subscales. Three factors significantly influenced the total HRQOL: presence of diabetes complications, duration of diabetes and marital status. Presence of complications was the most powerful variable influencing the 4 domains of HRQOL, especially the physical domain. Duration of diabetes did not influence the psychological domain and marital status did not influence the physical and psychological domains. The study provides further evidence of the usefulness and reliability of the Arabic WHOQOL-BREF. RÉSUMÉ La présente étude visait à évaluer la qualité de vie liée à la santé des ressortissants des Émirats arabes unis souffrant de diabète et à rechercher les variables sociodémographiques et liées à la morbidité qui ont une influence en la matière. La version en langue arabe du questionnaire sur la qualité de vie de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé, dans sa version abrégée (WHOQOL-BREF) a été administrée à 200 personnes atteintes de diabète. Le score global moyen était 63,1 (E.T. 15,0), et était compris entre 61,5 à 65,5 pour les sous-échelles. Trois facteurs ont nettement influé le score total au questionnaire : la présence de complications dues au diabète, la durée de la pathologie et la situation matrimoniale. La présence de complications était la variable la plus puissante ayant des répercussions sur les quatre domaines du questionnaire, en particulier le domaine physique. La durée du diabète n'avait pas de conséquence sur le domaine psychologique et la situation matrimoniale n'avait pas d'effet sur les domaines physiques et psychologiques. L'étude a confirmé l'utilité et la fiabilité de la version en langue arabe du questionnaire WHOQOL-BREF.

Globally, diabetes is ranked as the 4 th leading cause of death in terms of disease and places a huge strain on public health funding. Quality of life (QOL) is an important and understudied topic in the diabetes. Most studies reports that quality of life among people with diabetes is worse than QOL in general population. Thus, this study is aimed to assess health related quality of life of diabetic patients. We conducted a hospital-based non experimental prospective study. Total 50 diabetic patients were enrolled in this study by using purposive sampling technique. Short-Form 36 questionnaire was used to assess the QOL of diabetic patients. Among 50 respondents, 27 were female and 23 were male. In physical health, 56% respondents had obtained score above 50, 2% respondents had obtained score 50 and 42% respondents had obtained score below 50. Similarly, in mental health, 56% respondents had obtained score above 50 and 44% respondents had obtained score below 50. This result indicates that majority of respondents (56%) had better QOL. It concludes that majority (56%) of respondents had better QOL in both physical and mental health and in physical health 2% had average QOL and 42% had poor QOL and in mental health 44% had poor QOL. So, the family, physician, nurses and policy makers can use this finding to identify and implement appropriate interventions for better management and ultimately improving QOL of diabetic patients.
