Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine factors that influence the quality of life among Tianjin Chinese living with type 2 diabetes. In this study, the quality of life was assessed in 174 participants. The dependent variables included demographic and clinical data, depressive symptoms and lifestyle behavioral factors. Chi‐square tests and logistic regression analysis were conducted to identify significant factors. Using multiple regression analyses, the odds ratios (ORs) of having low quality of life were 4.53 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.89–10.87), 2.83 (95% CI = 1.21–6.63), and 2.48 (95% CI = 1.03–5.96) for patients with microvascular complications, diabetic neuropathy, and peripheral vascular disease, respectively. Coronary heart disease, depression, and unhealthy eating habits were also found to have significant negative effects on quality of life. In addition, multiple regression analysis showed that regular exercise (OR = 0.29, 95% CI = 0.12–0.71) was a protective factor for health‐related quality of life. The identification of these influencing factors will assist nurses to provide continuous care to people living with diabetes, thus to postpone or avoid complications as well as improve their quality of life.
