Abstract
Background: Bronchiectasis is the term used to describe permanent abnormally thick-walled and dilated bronchi.
Bronchiectasis is associated with various chronic diseases like Cystic brosis, Ciliary dyskinetic syndromes and some
immunodeciency syndromes. Bronchiectasis reduced survival in such patients. The increased survival of such Patients depends upon
therapeutic advancement. According to the World Health Organization, quality of life is an individual's perception of their position in life in the
context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns. To Objective:
assess the quality of life in patients with bronchiectasis. To acces Methods: s the quality of life in bronchiectasis patients we studied 107 patients
with the WHO-BREF QoL Questionnaire by focusing on individual's views of their well-being. The WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire is made up
of the physical health domain, psychological health domain, social relationships domain and environmental health domain. The range Results:
of Physical, Psychological, Social, Environment and total scores among the study population was 31-69, 38-81, 31-69, 31-63 and 42.25-65.50
respectively. The mean Physical QOL score is 56.11±6.93 while the Psychological QOL score is 57.45±7.37, the Social QOL score is 52.72±6.89,
the Environment QOL score is 54.23±6.46 and the total QOL score among the study population is 55.12±4.56. WHOQoL-BREF Conclusion:
scores were signicantly impaired in the physical domain, psychological domain, social domain and environmental domain and scores indicate a
relatively poor quality of life in patients with bronchiectasis.
