Introduction: Preeclampsia is a severe life event that has the potential to alter a woman's quality of life. This study sought to determine the quality of life among women with preeclampsia.
Method: This study uses a descriptive study. Using total sampling methods, participants diagnosed and hospitalized with preeclampsia were invited to complete a survey about their demographics and the Quality of Life Instrument for Chronic Disease - Hypertension (QLICD-HY) Questionnaire.
Results: 35 eligible participants with mean age of 33.2±5.83 were included in the present study. In Indonesia, most women with pre-eclampsia have a high quality of life. The sub-analysis found that many women with pre-eclampsia have a high quality of life in all domains (physical, psychological, and social). Age, education, occupation, family income, pregnancy stage, gravida, and medication adherence had a significant relationship with quality of life (p< 0.05).
Conclusion: Women with preeclampsia generally describe a high quality of life. Nonetheless, there is still improvement to be made in preventing and treating preeclampsia patients to optimize quality of life.
