Abstract

A cross-sectional study was performed to identify the factors associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among 1,236 married Turkish women aged 15-49 years, in the urban area of Sivas, between January and July 2017. Multiple logistic regression analyzes showed that being unemployed [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.18-2.25], and having an unsatisfying sexual life (AOR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.17-2.03), a chronic illness (AOR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.27-2.17), more than three children (AOR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.03-1.86), and experienced domestic violence (AOR = 2.15, 95% CI = 1.55-2.98) were associated with worse mental HRQoL. Having less than a high school education (AOR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.33-3.02), a chronic illness (AOR = 2.49, 95% CI = 1.88-3.30), a history of abortion (AOR = 1.59, CI = 1.09-2.31), and experienced domestic violence (AOR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.21-2.40) were associated with worse physical HRQoL. These findings suggest that health care providers or policy makers should pay special attention to unemployed women who are less educated, have more than three children and those having unsatisfied sexual lives, chronic illness, domestic violence experience and abortion history to enhance their HRQoL.
