A Cross-sectional Study Investigating the Impact of Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease on the Quality of Life of Rural Residents

Abstract

    The goal of this study was to assess how the quality of life of rural Charsadda and surrounding areas people are impacted by asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Data were gathered for this cross-sectional research, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze it. The data analysis revealed that the (Quality-of-Life) of 200 study participants was lower than that of the general population. Most asthma and COPD sufferers struggled to regulate their symptoms because they had limited healthcare access and a limited budget.These patients' average (Quality-of-Life) scores were (74.03) (SD = 16.3) and 73.3 (SD = 16.7), respectively, both lower than those of the general population. To properly treat COPD and asthma, rural Charsadda and its neighbouring regions need greater access to healthcare.
