“…The high level of stigma and discrimination associated tuberculosis usually affects the social domain of quality of life [82,83,106,107]. Diabetes mellitus was the next with poor quality of life especially on physical and environmental domains, giving credence to a number of studies [107][108][109][110]. Diabetes presents with a lot of physical symptoms and risk of systemic damage and requires strict drug and dietary compliance.…”

“…Quality of life in people living with HIV (PLWHIV), dementia, schizophrenia, and tuberculosis was significantly affected, more on the psychological and social domains compared with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cancer diseases [92,[107][108][109][110][111][112]. This suggests that the stigma and social rejection associated with the communicable disease may play a significant role in the development of psychological illness.…”

The prevalence of chronic medical and psychiatric diseases has continued to increase worldwide, and their consequences have remained a growing concern. Acting with a number of sociodemographic and clinical variables, they tend to affect quality of life (QOL) and onward to life expectancy. There is a direct relationship between QOL and life expectancy. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus acting with adverse environmental factors reset and overamplify the sympathetic outflow, and this may worsen hypertension and or cause depression, dysthymia, and anxiety disorders. Tuberculosis and HIV are two chronic infective medical conditions that equally negatively affect quality of life well-being and life expectancy. These chronic medical and psychiatric conditions have been associated with reduced QOL and life expectancy. The aim of this study, therefore, was to determine the impact of chronic medical and psychiatric disorders (HIV, tuberculosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dysthymia, and GAD) on quality of life and life expectancy. Following ethical approval and informed consent from the participants, 40 subjects from each group of HIV, tuberculosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, anxiety, and dysthymia were studied using sociodemographic/ clinical questionnaire and the WHOQOL-Bref. The data were analyzed using the SPSS version 20 statistical package. Confidence interval was set at 95% while P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. There was reduced QOL on physical, psychological, and social relationship, environment domains, and general health facet, respectively. Chronic medical and psychiatric conditions may contribute to reduced QOL and life expectancy. Management of patients with these conditions should necessarily include attention to their QOL and well-being.

Background: Quality of life (QoL) is the most important indicator for assessing the status of health care in chronic diseases. The present study aimed to determine the pathway determinants model of QoL in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 329 women with GM referred to health care centers in Qom, Iran during 2018. Convenience sampling methods was used. Inclusion criteria were: afflicted by GM and received pregnancy care services from health center. Several questionnaires (Knowledge, attitude, self-efficacy (SE), social support (SS), pregnancy distress, self-management(SM) and QoL) were used for data collection. Data were analyzed with SPSS-21 and Lisrel-8.8 software using statistical path analysis. Results: The mean age of participants was 30.93 ± 5.42 years. The final path model fitted well (CFI =1, RMSEA = 0.0003) and showed that, only age variable from both direct and indirect path had an impact on QoL (B = 0.51). Among variables that directly affected the QoL, SS had the highest effect (B = 1.02) and SE (B = 0.01) had the lowest effect. In the indirect path, only the knowledge variable by affecting the SE had an impact on the QoL (B = 0.0045). Conclusion: SS had the greatest impact on the QoL. Obviously, providing all the requirements to support patients can help them overcome problems and improve their QoL. Distress negatively affects the QoL through SM and it should be noticed in interventional studies.

“…Proliferative diabetic retinopathy is the major cause of blindness in developed countries, and in many developing countries [8]. Research shows that 60% of patients with type 2 diabetes and 100% of patients with type 1 diabetes develop retinopathy after 20 years, among whom 3.6% of patients with type 1 diabetes and 1.6% of patients with type 2 diabetes become blind [2]. However, studies show that the largest percentage of blindness caused by diabetic retinopathy can be prevented through screening, timely treatment and proper training [9].…”

“…Diabetes leads to complications such as ischemic heart disease, hypertension, retinopathy, neuropathy, cataract etc [2]. Diabetic retinopathy is considered a highly specific vascular complication for diabetes type 1 and 2 [3] and, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), it is the leading cause of blindness in working age (25 to 65 years old), which occurs in onethird of diabetic patients [1].…”

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of blindness and a fundamental cause of disability in diabetic patients in the world. Investigation about the quality of life in these patients can help plan for taking nursing measures to prevent or control the disease and improve patients' quality of life. Objective: This study aimed to determine the quality of life in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional descriptive analytical study (2014), 316 patients with diabetic retinopathy who attended the laser unit in Amir-al-Momenin Medical Educational Hospital, Rasht, for treatment and had a follow-up record were selected by convenience sampling. The data were obtained by the Retinopathy-Dependent Quality of Life (RetDQoL) questionnaire, a socio demographic questionnaire and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). The final score for quality of life ranges-9 to 3. The closer to -9 is the final score; the better is the quality of life. Independent t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson's correlation were used to analyze the data. Results:The results showed that the mean score of quality of life in subjects was -1.73, indication glow quality of life. In addition, statistical tests indicated a significant relationship between quality of life in patients with diabetic retinopathy and income, employment and education (p<0.0001), marital status and smoking (p<0.001), place of residence and being a member of Diabetes Association (p<0.044), duration of diabetes (p<0.015), history of ocular surgery (p<0.011), type of retinopathy (unilateral and bilateral), neuropathy (p<0.0001), diabetic foot ulcers (p<0.002), history of other ocular diseases (p<0.031) and Charlson co-morbidity (p<0.001). Conclusion: According to the findings, based on which patients had low quality of life, it is recommended that authorities adopt consulting, training and financial programs to control the predictors of quality of life and improve patients' quality of life.
