Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the quality of life and identify related factors in patients with COPD undergoing inpatient treatment at Hanoi hospitals in 2024. Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted among 196 COPD patients at the National Lung Hospital and the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital – Vietnam National University, Hanoi, from January to April 2024 using the St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire for COPD patients (SGRQ-C). Results: The overall SGRQ-C score was 63.3 ± 14.5, with component scores for symptoms, activities, and impacts being 72.1 ± 17.4, 79.4 ± 17.6, and 50.64 ± 16.7, respectively. Factors related to the quality of life decreasing included age, BMI, GOLD obstruction level, number of years with the disease, number of exacerbations requiring hospitalization, use of oxygen therapy, and nasal symptoms. Conclusion: The study found that the quality of life is moderately poor among the patients. Nurses should pay more attention to help patients manage their symptoms
