Abstract:
PURPOSE: This study was to identify the quality of life and its related factors in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey design was utilized. Data were collected using questionnaires from 128 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who visited an outpatient department at one general hospital in 2016. Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test, Pearson's correlation coefficient and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. RESULTS: Mean age of the participant was 67.81±6.94. Mean years since diagnosis was 6.41±5.20. The mean score of quality of life was 0.82±0.09, indicating that QOL was relatively low. Lower urinary tract symptoms (p=.029), anxiety, depression, Activities of daily living were significantly correlated to with quality of life (p<.001). Activities of daily living accounted for 54% (p<.001) of the variance in quality of life as a result of hierarchical multiple regression analysis. CONCLUSION: The results of the study showed that nursing intervention may improve the quality of life of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia by increasing their Activities of daily living.
