| description | Background and aim: The effect of anticoagulation control on overall Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in patients taking warfarin in Malaysia has not been explored yet. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate HRQoL among patients on warfarin in Malaysia. Methods: HRQoL among patients on warfarin was measured using WHOQOL-BREF (World Health Organization Quality of life Assessment: Brief Version). Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. Results: Out of 319 patients, more female patients were observed than the males (n = 221, 69.3%, and n = 98, 30.7% respectively). Mean scores for the physical (61.14 ± 15.96), psychological (68.58 ± 16.11), social (63.55 ± 27.06) and environmental domains (62.78 ± 17.58) were observed. Statistically, a significant association was found between the comorbidities other than CVDs with health satisfaction (p = 0.002), physical (p = 0.001), psychological (p < 0.001), social (p = 0.003) and environmental domains of the WHOQOL-BREF. A weak positive correlation between overall health satisfaction and the social domain (r = 0.153) and a moderate positive correlation between the physical and environmental domains (r = 0.628) of the WHOQOL-BREF were observed. Conclusion: Patients had overall better perceived HRQoL scores in the psychological domain as compared with the rest of the domains of the WHOQOL-BREF. Age, gender, employment status, education level, the indication of use and duration of warfarin therapy associated with overall perceived HRQoL. |
