Abstract

Health-related quality of life is a broad concept reflecting a patient’s general subjective perception of the impact an illness and treatment given for them. It measures an integral part of patient follow up by providing valuable feedback about the disease as well as associated interventions. The aim of this study was to assess health related quality of life and associated factors among HIV patient on highly active antiretroviral therapy at Assossa general hospital. Institution based cross-sectional study design was conducted among HIV positive patient from February, 8 to March, 21^st 2018 at Assossa general hospital. Data was collected using medical outcome study HIV questionnaire, systematic sampling technique was used, entered in to Epi-info software version 7 analyzed using the statistical product and service solution version 20. Bivariate at p-value < 0.2 and Multivariate Logistic regression p-value at <0.05 was used to identify factors associated with health related quality of life. Three hundred participants with 96.5% response rate were involved in the study. About fifty six point seven percent of the study participants mean (±SD) score of overall health related quality of life was 54.85±11.3. Participant that had viral load copies of forty and below were AOR=3.19 (95%CI 1.73, 5.91) associated with good health related quality of life and participant who have no recent opportunistic infection were AOR=2.87 (95%CI 1.49, 5.51) associated with good health related quality of life. Therefore, the health related quality of life was good. Occupational status, living condition viral load copies/ml and opportunistic infection showed association with good health related quality of life and Further research was suggested.
