ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Health is the consequence of a complex interplay of individual elements (genetic background, lifestyle, individual characteristics) and societal factors (education level, occupation, level of socialization), as well as the quality of medical care and the management of therapeutic interventions. Personal health assessment is how people define their own health and quality of life. WHO (World Health Organization) defines quality of life as “individuals” impressions of their place in life within the framework of the culture and value systems in which they live, as well as their objectives, expectations, standards, and worries. Aim: To determine the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and lifestyle practices of hypertensive patients, and to find out the association between health-related quality of life with lifestyle practices and socio-demographic variables of the hypertensive patients. Method: Analytical cross-sectional research design was used. Study was conducted in Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur from March to December 2024 among 403 hypertensive patients. Total 403 samples were selected using a Consecutive non-random sampling technique. The data was collected using a Self- Structured Questionnaire and Structured questionnaires on health-related quality of life (SF-36). Results: Acquired data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study show a considerable impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The study emphasizes the importance of taking a comprehensive approach to hypertension management with a focus on enhancing overall quality of life. This study of 403 participants with hypertension found that 54.59% don't engage in vigorous activity, 55.83% exercise less than once a week, and 56.07% have had hypertension for over 20 years. Significant associations were found between lifestyle practices (p=3.8-9.49) and health outcomes, highlighting the importance of lifestyle in managing hypertension.
