WHO HRQOL 26 items were used to measure outcome variable. Face-to-face interview, document review and measurement were implemented to collect data. The data were analyzed by IBM SPSS Statistics version 25 and summarized by using tables. Simple linear regression analysis was done and forwarded to multivariable linear regression analysis at p-value < 0.25. Next multivariable linear regression analysis was done and variables whose p-value less than 0.05 with unstandardized B-coefficient were declared significant predictor variables.Results: The mean scores of physical domain, psychological domain, environmental domain and social domain were 48± 6.7 (47– 49), 52± 4.2 (50– 52.3), 48.9± 3.4 (48– 50.4) and 49± 4 (48– 50), respectively. As age increased by one year, patients’ physical HRQOL decreased by 0.031 factor, keeping effect of other variables constant [− 0.031, 95% CI (− 0.050 to-0.013)]. As duration of diabetes increased by one year, patients’ physical HRQOL increased by 0.034 factor, keeping effect of other variables constant [0.034, 95% CI (0.004 to 0.065)]. In general, age, depression, perceived social stigma, self-employed, having two complications, widowed, insulin and oral anti-diabetic medication affected HRQOL negatively and duration of diabetes in physical domain and university level of education in environmental domain affected HRQOL positively.Conclusion and Recommendation: The mean score of health-related quality of life in physical health domain, psychological health domain, social health domain and environmental health domain was recorded nearly half score point out of a hundred. Health professionals should follow a holistic approach to management to address negatively associated predictor variables with HRQOL.Keywords: HRQOL, type II diabetes |
