Abstract

Objective: To explore several factors affecting the quality of life of type 2 diabetes outpatients at Tu Son City Medical Center in 2024. Research Methodology: A cross-sectional descriptive study, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods, was conducted using the WHOQOL-BREF tool to assess the quality of life of 190 type 2 diabetes outpatients aged 18 and older. Results and Recommendation: Factors positively influencing the quality of life of diabetic patients in the study included being under 65 years old, having a full family (spouse), living with family members, having a stable financial condition, and not having comorbid diseases. Additionally, the study identified several healthcare-related factors negatively affecting patients' quality of life, such as long waiting times and shortages of medications and medical supplies. The study recommends that treating physicians pay more attention to and offer specific consultation and treatment support for elderly patients (≥65 years old), those without a family or who are divorced/widowed, those living alone, patients with poor financial conditions, and those with multiple comorbidities. The healthcare facility should implement more specific measures to reduce patients' waiting times and address the medication and supply shortages.
