The complications caused by this disease in many cases lead to a deterioration of the quality of life of patients. An additional factor that negatively affects the quality of life of respondents is disability, which in many cases is diagnosed due to diabetes.<\/br>\n\n<b>OBJECTIVE.<\/b>\nThe aim of the study was to quantify the impact of disability on the declared quality of life in patients with diabetes and to compare the percentage of people with declared disability with the degree of disability among people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.<\/br>\n\n<b>MATERIAL AND METHODS.<\/b>\nThe study was based on an internet survey posted on social groups related to diabetes on Facebook. The shortened version of the questionnaire measuring quality of life created by the World Health Organization (WHOQOL-Bref) and some self-created questions were used. The survey was completed by 139 respondents. 113 (81.3%) of them were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus, and 26 (18.7%) with type 2 diabetes mellitus.<\/br>\n\n<b>RESULTS.<\/b>\nThe subjective assessment of the quality of life in the entire group was moderate and totalled 3.5 \u00b1 0.9 (on a scale from 1 to 5). The mean score of the physical domain of the WHOQOL-Bref was 48.9 \u00b1 13.1, of the psychological domain was 55.2 \u00b1 13.5, of the social domain was 60.8 \u00b1 22.1, and of the environmental domain was 54.6 \u00b1 14.5. 56.8% (79) of respondents were diagnosed with disability. 46 (58.2%) of them declared moderate disability. Disability was more frequently diagnosed in patients with type 1 diabetes compared to the group of patients with type 2 diabetes (67.3% vs. 11.5%; p<0.001). Very weak correlation was found between the duration of diabetes and particular domains of the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire (r ranging from \u20130.107 to \u20130.017; p>0.05). The subjective quality of life and the level of satisfaction with health were moderate in the group of patients with type 1 diabetes and declared disability (3.5 \u00b1 0.9), without disability (3.4 \u00b1 0.9) and in the group of patients with type 2 diabetes without disability (3.7 \u00b1 0.8). The mean scores of particular domains of the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire were very similar in patients with type 1 diabetes, both with a disability certificate (physical domain 49.0 \u00b1 13.6; psychological domain 55.3 \u00b1 13.7; social domain 61.1 \u00b1 22 .8; environmental domain 54.0 \u00b1 14.7) and without (physical domain 48.8 \u00b1 14.0; psychological domain 55.4 \u00b1 13.9; social domain 63.1 \u00b1 23.3; environmental domain 55 .4 \u00b1 14.9), and in people with type 2 diabetes (physical domain 49.8 \u00b1 10.4; psychological domain 56.3 \u00b1 12.1; social domain 59.8 \u00b1 19.1; environmental domain 57, 7 \u00b1 11.4).<\/br>\n\n<b> CONCLUSIONS.<\/b>\nDisability was diagnosed more often in patients with type 1 than type 2 diabetes. The disability certificate in the group of patients with type 1 diabetes does not affect the quality of life of the respondents compared to people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes without a disability certificate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.32394\/pe.77.24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,5]],"date-time":"2024-02-05T13:57:51Z","timestamp":1707141471000},"page":"327-336","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Impact of disability in patients with diabetes on the declared quality of life"],"prefix":"10.32394","volume":"77","author":[{"given":"Justyna","family":"Putek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleksander","family":"Truszy\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edwin","family":"Ku\u017anik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"17323","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,2]]},"container-title":["Przeglad Epidemiologiczny"],"original-title":["Wp\u0142yw niepe\u0142nosprawno\u015bci u pacjent\u00f3w z cukrzyc\u0105 na deklarowan\u0105 jako\u015b\u0107 \u017cycia"],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.przeglepidemiol.pzh.gov.pl\/pdf-184478-105228","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.przeglepidemiol.pzh.gov.pl\/pdf-184478-105228","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,8]],"date-time":"2024-03-08T08:42:28Z","timestamp":1709887348000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.przeglepidemiol.pzh.gov.pl\/Impact-of-disability-in-patients-with-diabetes-on-the-declared-quality-of-life,184478,0,2.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,2]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2023]]}},"alternative-id":["184478"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.32394\/pe.77.24","relation":{},"ISSN":["0033-2100","2545-1898"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0033-2100","type":"print"},{"value":"2545-1898","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,2]]}}}
