“…This affects patients' quality of life in the form of headaches, dizziness, depression, anxiety, and fatigue as well as impaired vitality, social function, mental health, and psychological function. 32 In this study, uncontrolled hypertension also slightly affected the quality of life in the pain/discomfort dimension. These finding is relevant with a previous Nepali study.…”

Hypertensive patients need long-term therapy and control. Uncontrolled blood pressure can aggravate the incidence of hypertension and develop into a more dangerous disease that can have an impact on quality of life and medical costs. The study aimed to analyze the differences in clinical outcomes on quality of life and direct medical costs. The method employed was a cross-sectional study with 400 outpatient hypertensive patients in August 2023 at Panembahan Senopati Regional Hospital, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected by filling out questionnaires and observing medical and financial record data. Demographic data were analyzed descriptively and showed that the majority of female patients (65%), aged 46 - 65 years (51%) possessed a high school education (30%). Sixty-six percent of patients had hypertension with a duration of <5 years and 61% had comorbidities. This study attempted to measure the clinical outcomes on quality of life and direct medical costs of hypertensive patients. The EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D-5L) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) questionnaires were used to measure patients' quality of life. The data on direct medical costs included medications, laboratories, medical equipment, and administrative costs. Clinical outcome indicators were blood pressure measurements. The results showed that 316 of 400 patients showed uncontrolled clinical outcomes (79%) with an average score for a good quality of life based on the quality of life assessment with EQ5D5L and VAS and incurred direct medical costs of Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) 663,80. Based on the VAS measurement, there was a significant difference in quality of life between patients with controlled and uncontrolled clinical outcomes (p<0.001). Patients with controlled clinical outcomes had higher quality of life and incurred lower costs. Altogether, controlling hypertension in all patients with or without complications can be practical and cost-effective.

“…Often these scales are disease-specific and provide additional information compared to a global single-item assessment. Finally, it would be interesting for future research to contrast the current findings with other patients with other diseases for which comparable lockdown effects were investigated [32] and to evaluate the impact of comorbid diseases (e.g., diabetes).…”

Background: Previous studies in Dutch young adults revealed that individuals with self-reported impaired wound healing reported poorer mood, increased inattention and impulsivity, poorer quality of life, and poorer immune fitness compared to healthy controls. Another study revealed that the negative impact of lockdowns during the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic was significantly more profound among the impaired wound healing group than the control group. The purpose of the current study was to replicate and extend these findings among young adults living in Germany. Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional survey was conducted among N = 317 young adults living in Germany, 18–35 years old. They were allocated to the IWH group (N = 66) or the control group (N-251). Participants completed the Attention Control Scale, and mood, quality of life, and immune fitness were assessed with single-item ratings. All assessments were made for (1) the period before the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) the first lockdown period, March–May 2020, (3) the first no-lockdown period, summer 2020, (4) the second lockdown, November 2020 to May 2021, and (5) the second no-lockdown period, summer 2021. Results: The impaired wound healing group reported significantly poorer mood, quality of life, and immune fitness. The effects were evident before the pandemic. The impaired wound healing group scored significantly poorer on attention focusing, but no significant differences between the groups were found for attention shifting. During the pandemic, negative lockdown effects (i.e., further aggravation of mood and immune fitness and lower quality of life) were evident in both groups but significantly more profound in the impaired wound healing group. No differences between the groups were found for the no-lockdown periods. Conclusion: Individuals with self-reported impaired wound healing have significantly poorer mood, attention focusing, and immune fitness and report a poorer quality of life than healthy controls. The impact of COVID-19 lockdowns was significantly more profound in the impaired wound-healing group.

“…In the same way, restricted physical activity will also impact society's quality of life, especially in the psychosocial aspect (Puccinelli et al, 2021). In the case of hypertensive patients during COVID-19 the quality of life declined as a result of limited routine activities related to primary health care (Lolo et al, 2022).…”

Introduction: Social isolation, as recommended by the World Health Organization, helps reduce the spread of COVID-19. However, countless reports verified that it affected the psychological wellbeing and quality of life of individuals worldwide. Objective: To assess the stress levels and quality of life of young adults in Kuala Selangor during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study design with a sample size of 191 who were selected through convenience sampling answered the questionnaires, which were the perceived stress scale and the World Health Organization-Quality of Life questionnaire . Results: This study showed that 89.5% of young adults have an extremely severe stress level. Meanwhile, the physical health domain of quality of life showed the lowest score (median = 44.00, IQR=24.00) compared to other domains, such as environmental health (median =63.00, IQR =50.00), psychological health (median=56.00, IQR=38.00), and social relationships (median =50.00, IQR=44.00). There was also no significant difference between stress level and the demographic data of the respondents, including age, gender, educational status, socioeconomic status, and employment status. The study found a weak negative correlation between stress level and environmental health (p=0.007), but no correlation was found with other domains such as physical health, psychological health, or social relationships. Conclusion: There was an extremely severe stress level among young adults, but it did not relate to the quality of life. Thus, the quality of life can be affected by other possible factors rather than psychological influence. This project encouraged the health sector to plan effective programs related to stress-coping strategies and a better quality of life to survive during the pandemic.
