Abstract:
Through literature review, questionnaire survey and statistical analysis, this study analyzed and evaluated the quality of life and influencing factors of diabetic patients in Beijing, China. Nowadays, there are about 540million diabetics in the world, of which Chinese diabetics rank first in the world. Diabetes can cause many complications and seriously affect the quality of life of patients. With the progress of medicine and the change of people’s concept of health, the treatment of diabetes not only needs to control the change of blood glucose and prolong life, but also needs to emphasize the importance of improving the quality of life of patients. The study used the quality of life specific scale for diabetic patients, social support scale and self-management scale, general demographic data and diabetes disease situation for statistical analysis. To evaluate the quality of life of elderly diabetic patients in Beijing from the aspects of physiology, psychology, society and treatment. Through literature review, using the theory of quality of life as a guide, this paper organized the research results on quality of life at home and abroad. The empirical study analyzed the various factors affecting the quality of life of elderly patients with diabetes in Beijing. In view of the decline in the quality of life of elderly patients with diabetes caused by these problems, medical institutions should provide more comprehensive diabetes education and management services, and strengthen the monitoring and prevention of complications. The community can organize regular health lectures and activities to promote the elderly to participate in physical exercise and healthy life. Families should give more care and support to elderly patients with diabetes and help them manage themselves. The government should strengthen the propaganda and investment in the prevention and treatment of diabetes, formulate relevant policies, and promote the comprehensive development of the prevention and treatment of diabetes. This study provides insights for evaluating and improving the quality of life of elderly patients with diabetes. It deeply understands the factors affecting the quality of life of elderly patients with diabetes, and puts forward suggestions to solve these problems. By implementing these recommendations, we can improve the overall quality of medical institutions, communities, families, and governments, and ultimately improve the quality of life of elderly patients with diabetes.
