Abstract

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a complex chronic disease requiring continuous medical care and multifactorial risk reduction strategies beyond glycemic control. Continuous patient self-management, education, and support are essential to prevent acute complications and reduce the risk of long-term complications. Objective: To assess health-related quality of life and its associated factors among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending public hospitals in Harari region, Ethiopia, 2021. Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study design was employed, from June 15 - July 15, 2021. The simple random sampling technique was used to select the participants. Epi Data version 3.1 was used for data entry and Stata version 16 was used for analysis. Simple linear regression was done and variables with a p-value less than 0.25 were included in multivariable linear regression. For the goodness of model fit, all linear regression assumptions. Multicollinearity was checked. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered an independently associated factor in multivariable linear regression. Result: The mean health-related quality of life (HRQOL) score was 0.714 (±0.201). Factors such as older age, female gender, unemployment, widowhood, and the presence of complications were significantly associated with lower HRQOL. Conclusion: The overall health-related quality of life among type 2 diabetic patients was low. Old age, female gender, unemployed occupation, being widowed, and complications were inversely associated with health-related quality of life. Therefore, giving special attention to elderly diabetes mellitus patients, improving gender identity, breaking the cycle of low occupational status through creating job opportunities, and giving health education for changing attitudes might enhance the quality of life for type 2 diabetic patients.
