Objectives: This study evaluated the quality of life and associated factors among patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 in My Phuoc Hospital in 2024. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted, and the Vietnamese Asian Diabetes Quality of Life Version (AsianDQOL) was used for the data collection of 151 participants. Results: The mean score of AsianDQOL among respondents was 55.2 (SD 15.4). The majority of respondents have a moderate level of quality of life (60.9%). At the same time, 6.6% of respondents had a good quality of life, while the rate of participants who had a poor quality of life was 32.5%. The average scores of five domains (diet, energy level, memory and cognition, Financial aspect, and Interpersonal relation) are 57.9, 55.8, 61.2, and 63.4, respectively. In this study, the quality of life in patients with diabetes was associated with their occupational status, glucose (blood) level, BMI, and disease duration. Conclusion: The quality of life of people living with Type 2 Diabetes at My Phuoc Hospital was generally moderate. The findings suggest that blood glucose control, BMI, and disease duration influence quality of life. Targeted interventions addressing these factors may help improve patients' quality of life.
