“…Mental domains affect the quality of life of hypertensive patients more than the physical domain caused by a diagnosis of the disease, the use of long-term therapy, and symptoms of hypertension. This result is in line with the research conducted by Bhandari et al (2016) with an average score of PCS of 48.22 and MCS of 38.74. The physical domain was more dominant than the mental domain.…”

The high prevalence of hypertension in Indonesia encourages studies related to how the quality of life of patients with hypertension. The purpose of this study was to measure the quality of life, identify, and explain factors related to the quality of life of patients with hypertension. The study design was an associative descriptive design using a cross-sectional study approach. The study subjects were all outpatient hypertensive patients from several health centers in Bandar Lampung. The instrument used in this study was the Indonesian SF-36. The data collected included the patient demographic characteristics, including gender, age, education, occupation, and marital status, and the fields related to the medical history of the study subjects, including the duration of hypertension, complications, and the number of antihypertensive drugs consumed. Data were analyzed using the bivariate analysis to see the association between two use of them. Multivariate analysis was conducted to study the association of several independent variables with one or several dependent variables. The results of the univariate analysis showed that age, marital status, duration of illness, complications, and the number of drugs consumed affected the quality of life of hypertensive patients (p<0.05). The results of multivariate analysis showed that the factors of age, marital status, and duration of hypertension were factors that influenced the physical domain. In contrast, whereas gender, marital status, duration of hypertension, complications, and the number of drugs were influential factors in the mental domain.

“…We aimed to assess the HRQOL of hypertensive patients in Kathmandu, Nepal and found that participants have self-perceptions of a low HRQOL in different dimensions of EQ-5D. The previous study evaluating HRQOL among hypertensive patient in Kathmandu ( 13 ) reported increasing age, not cohabiting with a partner, no formal education to be associated with lower HRQOL. We confirm their findings and additionally we also provide evidence that a higher HRQOL was associated with higher family income, participant’s dietary low salt compliance, use of antihypertensive drugs, and better-perceived health status.…”

“…Owing to the sociodemographic and cultural discrepancies between Nepal and these countries, an inference cannot be made on HRQOL of Nepalese hypertensive patients from these international studies. A recent survey done among hypertensive patients in Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Centre in Kathmandu Nepal found age, non-formal education, and being single to be associated with lower HRQOL ( 13 ). For the first time in 2009, Nepal included non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in national health policy ( 14 ).…”

“…Furthermore, both dietary salt reduction and antihypertensive drugs use contributes significantly to increase the HRQOL among hypertensive patients ( 13 , 15 ). According to dietary approaches to stop hypertension dietary salt reduction is one of the most cost-effective and most easily implemented strategies in controlling hypertension ( 16 ).…”

IntroductionNepal has a high prevalence of hypertension. While improving the overall health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a central tenet to public health plans in developed nations, this focus has yet to be articulated in Nepal. Therefore, this study aims to identify the factors associated with HRQOL among hypertensive patients in Nepal.MethodThe EuroQol-5Dimension HRQOL survey was administered to 180 hypertensive patients, attending the outpatient clinic at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Center in Kathmandu, Nepal. Multiple linear regression models, adjusted for age and sex, were used to identify factors associated with HRQOL.ResultsThe mean age and EuroQol visual analytic scale of the participants were 53.2 years and 63.7, respectively. Age [β = −0.56; 95% confidence interval (CI): −0.75 to −0.37], income (β = 0.02; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.03), family size (β = −0.98; 95% CI: −1.89, −0.07), number of antihypertensive drugs use (β = 4.62; 95% CI: 1.33, 7.90), and compliance to dietary salt advise (β = 4.86; 95% CI: 0.29, 9.43) were significant factors associated with HRQOL among participants. In addition, levels of education and self-perceived health were associated in a positive gradient to HRQOL. In mediation analysis, both, dietary low salt compliance and use of antihypertensive drugs, had a significant direct effect on HRQOL, and the use of antihypertensive drugs did not significantly mediate the relationship between dietary salt compliance and HRQOL.ConclusionVarious factors were found to be associated with HRQOL among hypertensive patients in Kathmandu. Assessing HRQOL is a valuable technique to identify populations in need of services and interventions. This assessment can serve as a baseline, and in conjunction with multiple stakeholders, can guide public health policy, planning, and practices, especially those aimed toward improving the HRQOL of Nepalese with hypertension.

“…Diante desses dados, é notório que a HAS é um importante objeto de estudo, pois pode afetar diretamente a qualidade de vida (QV) das pessoas, visto que, a QV está atrelada a satisfação subjetiva da vida cotidiana de cada indivíduo, influenciada pelo parecer individual de seu bemestar psicológico, ambiental, social e espiritual 12 . A Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) define a QV como "a percepção de um indivíduo sobre sua posição na vida, no contexto da cultura e dos sistemas de valores em que vive, e em relação a seus objetivos, expectativas, padrões e preocupações"…”

Introdução: A hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) é uma patologia crônica multifatorial que afeta diretamente a qualidade de vida (QV) das pessoas. Objetivo: Analisar na literatura científica as produções relacionadas as ações desenvolvidas para promover a QV de pessoas com HAS. Materiais e métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa, tendo como categoria textual artigos científicos disponíveis nos agregadores de base de dados EBSCO e Portal de Periódicos CAPES, utilizando-se os descritores em português “hipertensão arterial sistêmica” e “qualidade de vida”, e em inglês “arterial hypertension” and “quality of life”. Resultados: Foram analisados 13 artigos, sendo 04 da EBSCO e 09 do Portal de Periódicos CAPES. Quanto aos locais de coleta de dados, um estudo foi realizado na zona rural, sete em unidades básicas de saúde (UBS) / estratégia saúde da família (ESF), um em farmácia comunitária, um na zona urbana, um no Paquistão, um na China e um na Europa Oriental e Centro-Oeste da Europa. Conclusões: O estudo permitiu identificar que a prática de atividade física, o HIPERDIA, a educação em saúde e a terapia medicamentosa parecem ser determinantes no nível de todas as dimensões da QV de pessoas com HAS. Ações destinadas a sua promoção tem grande potencial de sucesso quando forem realizadas por uma equipe multiprofissional, especialmente na ESF. Portanto, este estudo sugere que mais pesquisas sejam realizadas pelos cientistas, com o intuito de conhecer quais ações estão sendo desenvolvidas pelas ESF para promover a QV de pessoas com HAS, pois a HAS é uma patologia crônica que pode causar a depreciação da QV dos acometidos.
