Abstract

Background: Health-related factors differ from one culture to another based on provided health services and the prevalence of different diseases. Accordingly, identifying these factors is crucial to improve the overall quality of life. The objective of this study is to explore the factors affecting health-related quality of life among adult outpatients living in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study using a 50-item questionnaire investigated different aspects of health-related quality of life in 10 Saudi hospitals in Riyadh region between the years 2018-2019. A Linear regression analysis was performed to determine the predictors influencing health-related quality of life. Results: A total of 806 participants from different regions of Saudi Arabia responded to this customized questionnaire. The average HRQOL score was 285.23 (27.47) out of a maximum score of 350. The highest average score was achieved in the social, environmental, and economic domain 6.99 (0.78). The lowest average score was achieved in health and activity of daily living domain 5.29 (0.70). Conclusion: The Saudi adult patient population had an above-average level of HRQOL. This result indicates that culture does play a factor in impacting the generic outcome measurement of HRQOL.
