Abstract
This descriptive research aimed to study the level of quality of life and the
relationship between quality of life and personal factors among patients after
coronary artery stent implantation at Banphaeo Hospital (Public Organization).
The sample consisted of 80 patients with cardiovascular disease who had
undergone cardiac catheterization and coronary stent implantation for at least 3
months. Participants were selected by purposive sampling. The research
instruments included a general information questionnaire and a Thai version of
the quality of life scale for patients with coronary artery disease. Data were
collected through interviews from February to April 2025. Data were analyzed
using descriptive statistics, including Pearson correlation analysis and biserial
correlation analysis.
The results showed that the overall quality of life of the patients was at a good
level. The aspect with the highest satisfaction and importance was the
healthcare services received, accounting for 86.9%. Salt intake was negatively
correlated with satisfaction toward quality of life (r = - 0.263) and with
perceived importance of quality of life (r = - 0.258). Kidney disease was also
negatively correlated with perceived importance of quality of life (r = - 0.292).
Educational level was positively correlated with both perceived importance and
overall quality of life after coronary stent implantation.
In conclusion, patients after coronary stent implantation had a good level of
quality of life. Health education regarding self-care, treatment, and prevention of
complications should be promoted, especially among patients with kidney
disease and those who consume salty foods, in order to improve their quality of l
ife.
