Abstract: Objective To investigate the quality of life of patients with pneumoconiosis and its influencing factors in Wulong District of Chongqing City,so as to provide reference for improving the quality of life of pneumoconiosis patients,as well as pneumoconiosis treatment and rehabilitation,and provide reference opinions for the development of pneumoconiosis rehabilitation stations. Methods From January 2021 to December 2022,152 patients who met the inclusion criteria and received rehabilitation treatment in the Pneumoconiosis Rehabilitation Station of Baima Central Health Center in Wulong District of Chongqing City were selected as the research objects. The questionnaire investigation was conducted by the self-made general demographic data questionnaire and the World Health Organization quality of life-brief(WHOQOL-BREF). The quality of life of pneumoconiosis patients was evaluated from physiological,psychological,social and environmental dimensions,and the relevant influencing factors were analyzed. Results A total of 47(30.9%) of the 152 subjects felt their life quality was good or very good,and 36(23.7%) were satisfied or very satisfied with their health status. There were statistically significant differences between the scores of patients with pneumoconiosis in physiological,psychological,social and environmental fields and corresponding norms(all P<0.05). The degree of self-care,supine position or not when sleeping,per capita monthly income,degree of family harmony and degree of feeling respected were correlated with one or more areas of quality of life,and the differences in scores were statistically significant(all P<0.05). Conclusion The quality of life of patients with pneumoconiosis in Wulong District of Chongqing City is poor,and it is necessary to not only pay attention to the impact of the disease itself on the quality of life,but also pay more attention to social factors and external factors after the disease,so as to improve the quality of life of patients and accelerate the development of pneumoconiosis rehabilitation stations.
