Navigating Stress and Subjective Well-Being: Exploring the Impact on Quality of Life among Gynic Patients after Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

This study aims to identify the relationship between post-COVID-19 stress, subjective well-being, and quality of life (QOL) experienced by gynic patients and factors affecting quality of life. Also, essential data was collected to formulate strategies for enhancing their quality of life (QOL) amid any future pandemic. Data were collected from January 1 to February 28, 2022. It was conducted with the consent of the subjects, and the questionnaire used in the final analysis was 170 copies. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between stress, subjective well-being, and QOL of gynic patients. Through regression analysis, the factors affecting the QOL of gynic patients were identified. It was found that males were more stressed than females and in the group with higher age and grade level. Subjective well-being was higher in the 23-25-year-old group than in the 31-year-old group, and the proportion of the satisfied group was higher than the dissatisfied group, and the positive personality was higher than the negative personality. Quality of life was higher in the group who was satisfied with the department than in the dissatisfied group, and the positive personality group was higher than the negative personality group. Stress caused by COVID-19 was found to have a significant negative correlation with social relations, a sub-factor of QOL. Subjective well-being showed a statistically significant positive correlation with quality of life. QOL showed a positive correlation with life satisfaction and positive emotion, which are sub-factors of subjective well-being, and a negative correlation with negative emotion. As for the factors influencing the QOL, subject satisfaction, personality, and subjective well-being showed significant results. Therefore, to improve the quality of life of PG gynic patients in gynaecology, it is necessary to establish various measures to reduce stress and strengthen measures to increase subjective well-being.
