“…[3,6,7] The QoL score in role limitation due to the physical health domain was low (25.60±17.92) in this study which was similar to the results of studies done in North Jordan and South Iran, but lower than that of a study done in Kashan, Iran. [3,6,7] The result of the general health and energy/fatigue domain of this study was comparable with other studies.…”

Introduction: Although changes occur in various dimensions in quality of life and it plays a significant role in the health of pregnant women, there are limited data on the quality of life of pregnant women. The objective of the study was to identify the quality of life of pregnant women. Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study in Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital and Research Centre, Pokhara in 167 pregnant women attending an antenatal clinic over one month period, selected by nonprobability purposive sampling technique. Data collection was done using the RAND SF-36 questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the quality of life. Inferential statistics were used to compare two independent groups and three or more independent groups respectively. Results: The Mean±SD score for the quality of life of pregnant women was 73.08±14.95 with 62.80±19.14 in the physical component and 83.35±10.76 in the mental component. The score was highest in role limitation due to emotional health and lowest in role limitation due to physical health domain. Women who had planned pregnancies had better scores in the general health domain (p=0.005) and emotional wellbeing domain (p=0.011) compared to those who had an unplanned pregnancies. Conclusion: Since the quality of life scores are lower in physical health domains than in mental health domains, special attention should be given to the physical health of pregnant women.

“…[12] Similarly, in their study, Asadian et al found a significant relationship between QoL and age in pregnant women p=0.000 in southern Iran, and determined that there were significant differences in social functioning, bodily pain, vitality, and health problems according to age. [11] Although no difference between the dimensions of physical functioning, emotional problems, general health, and mental health was found between different age groups in their research, in our study group, all of the subscores of the average-aged group were highest, except for physical functioning subscore, which was better in the adolescent group, and no difference in the remaining subscores was found between the adolescent and advanced-age groups.…”

“…[3,7,8] In recent years, studies from several countries have suggested that pregnancy is associated with a remarkable deterioration in HRQoL, especially in the emotional and physical role subscores. [3,4,7,9,10,11] The results of this study demonstrated a significant relationship between QoL and age. Namely, both the average PCS and MCS scores were significantly higher in the middle group.…”
