Abstract
Background: Patients’ daily routines and work performance were found to be significantly hampered by chronic disorders. Hence, chronic illnesses could have a considerable negative impact on patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Thus, this study aimed to explore the Hr-QoL for adult patients with chronic conditions in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 324 adult residents of Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia who had chronic diseases. A questionnaire was distributed online that included four modules evaluating the subjects’ demographics, healthy days, activity limitations, and healthy days’ symptoms. The HRQOL-4 instrument was used to assess patients HRQol.
Results: Due to major disability or health difficulties, 21% of patients had their activities restricted for days. According to the HRQOL-4 scale, 12% of patients had poor HRQol, whereas 88% had good HRQol. Participants who were older, had less education, were retired, and had both hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) had a higher percentage of those with poor HRQoL. Male participants, those with a monthly income of 5,000- 10,000 SR, and those with several chronic diseases all had a higher percentage of those with poor HRQoL.
Conclusion: Effective intervention programs should be developed to improve HRQoL among chronic illness patients. Patient’s gender, economic status, and the number of comorbidities should be taken into consideration.

Key words: HRQol, adults, chronic, diseases, PHC, Riyadh
