- Abstract
Objective: To analyze the quality of life of people with chronic complex wounds. Method: Data were collected through a questionnaire containing the WHOQOL-Bref instrument of the World Health Organization and questions about sociodemographic and clinical variables. Statistical analysis methods used were: linear correlation of Pearson; Analysis of Variance and Tukey with reliability of 95% and p <0.05. Results: We evaluated 53 patients with complex wounds. 28 (52.83%) of these were female with an average age of 62.17 years and with low education. In the evaluation of the quality of life, the pain was correlated with the physical domain (p = 0.030) and psychological (p = 0.051); while the area was correlated with age (p = 0.051) and pain correlated with the time of injury (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Knowning the clinical characteristics and the quality of life enables better understanding of the complaints and better healthcare planning, which contributs to improved quality of life.
