Abstract

Background: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a global problem. Disease affects the quality of life (QOL); is a burden for the Nation. In Vietnam, QOL among the CVI patients has not yet been considered. This study on QOL and its associated factors among CVI patients to improve quality of care as well as health of patients. Objectives: To determine score of QOL and its associated factors among CVI patients. Methods: A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study, 68 CVI patients from 18 years old were randomly selected to see the University of medicine and pharmacy HCM City. The data were collected during face-to-face interviews using SF-36 scale. Multivariable linear regression analyses were used to measure the association between QOL and variables. Results: The mean scores in physical health was (51,56±14,53), mental health was (53,91±15,20), QOL was (52,74±10,30). Factors associated with QOL among CVI patients were gender, income level, clinical classification CEAP, physical activity, compression stocking. Conclusion: QOL in CVI patients were decreased, both physically and mentally. Encouraging moderate physical activity and compression stocking to improve QOL for CVI patients.
