Abstract
Background: Heart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalization and increased mortality in all ages, seriously affecting the quality of life (QoL) of patients.
Objectives: Describe the current situation of QoL and factors related to QoL of inpatient heart failure.
Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 250 heart failure patients undergoing inpatient treatment, using the MLHFQ (The Minnesota Living with heart failure questionnaire) heart failure assessment questionnaire.
Results: 70% of heart failure patients participating in the study had poor quality of life. Age group and place of residence are related to the patient's QoL (p<0.05).
Conclusions: QoL of heart failure patients participating in the study was at a poor level. Therefore, during the treatment and care process, it is necessary to pay attention to the above subjects and have appropriate treatment and care measures to help improve the patient's quality of life.
