Analysis of quality of life and influencing factors in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy

Abstract

Objective To investigate the quality of life of patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy, analyze the possible influencing factors, and propose corresponding intervention measures. Methods From October 2017 to February 2018, one hundred patients with gestational hypertension were included in the obstetric wards as subjects. Semi-structure interviews were used to evaluate the quality of life and influencing factors. Results Among the quality of life of patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy, The scores of physiological function (RP), general health (GH), emotional function (RE) and mental health (MH) were lower than the norm, which were (22.45±32.01), (59.40±19.28), (37.07±38.55).), (65.63±19.72) points, the norm scores were (57.00±19.35), (64.09±14.08), (65.78±22.35), (70.04±16.25) points, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t= -10.687--2.212, both P<0.05 or 0.01). Univariate analysis found that the differences in physical health scores between patients with different places of residence and whether they had received assisted reproductive technology were statistically significant (F=6.860, t=-2.112, P<0.01 or 0.05). The differences in mental health scores between pregnant women, gestational weeks, place of residence, and whether they had received assisted reproductive patients were statistically significant (F= -4.798-3.463, P<0.05 or 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis found that the place of residence was an independent influencing factor of patients' physiological health (P=0.003), and whether or not assisted reproductive technology was an independent influencing factor of patients′ mental health (P=0.005). Conclusion The quality of life of patients with hypertensive disorders during pregnancy is poor, and appropriate interventions should be actively taken to improve the quality of life of patients.
