|
|
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to comprehensively explore the factors influencing quality of life and its measurements in patients with hypertension.
Methods: Based on the PRISMA statement and NECA systematic literature review guideline, a systematic literature review was conducted in this study. To search studies related to quality of life in patients with hypertension, multiple electronic databases were used using a combination of key words 'hypertension' and 'quality of life'. Throughout this process, a total of 983 studies were identified. Then, the second selection processes and quality assessment were conducted by four investigators independently. Finally, a total of 19 studies were included for the analysis.
Results: Results showed that quality of life was focused on the health-related quality of life, and the SF-36 was one of the most frequently used measurements. The factors influencing quality of life were categorized into sociodemographic, health-related, health behavioral, and psychosocial variables.
Conclusion: Researchers need to consider these multiple factors to promote quality of life in patients with hypertension.
