description | Background: Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic condition that affects the vertebral and sacroiliac joints, causing progressive back pain and stiffness. Patients with this condition experience a lower quality of life compared to the general population, with physical health being more impacted than mental health. In Vietnam, little attention has been given to the quality of life of patients with ankylosing spondylitis, and there are conflicting studies on the factors that affect their quality of life. Therefore, it is essential to assess the quality of life of these patients to provide appropriate recommendations for improving their overall well-being. Methodology: The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with ankylosing spondylitis who visited University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City from March 2022 to May 2022. Participants were interviewed face-to-face using the 36-item short form survey (SF-36) questionnaire and the visual analogue scale. In addition, some information related to ankylosing spondylitis was also collected through medical records. Results and conclusion: Seventy-five patients met the inclusion criteria with a median age of 33 (26 - 37); men accounted for 68%. The mean physical and mental health scores on the SF-36 scale were 37.73 ± 9.30 and 47.04 ± 7.11, respectively. Young age, lower pain score and duration of illness, and higher education were associated with a high physical health score with p<0.05. Similarly, the educational level and occupation were positively correlated, and pain scores were inversely correlated with mental health with p< 0.05. |
