Prevalence, determinants and impact of migraine on quality of life of healthcare workers at primary healthcare centers in Abha City, Saudi Arabia.

Abstract


Objective:
To assess prevalence, determinants and impact of migraine on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among healthcare workers in Abha primary healthcare centers.

Methods: Following a cross-sectional research design, the present study was conducted on 212 healthcare workers at primary healthcare centers belonging to the Ministry of Health in Abha City, Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection.

Results: 51.9% were males and 38.2% were residents. The mean±SD of MIDAS score was 12±10.6, and the mean±SD score of HRQOL was 54.9±7.4. The migraine disability assessment (MIDAS) grades differed significantly according to gender (p=0.011), position (p<0.001), migraine attacks (P<0.001), and positive family history of migraine (p=0.006). The HRQOL was significantly associated with smoking habits (p=0.037), migraine attacks in the previous year (p<0.001), and accompanied symptoms (P=0.037).

Conclusions: Prevalence of migraine varies according to several factors. The attacks of migraine affected grades of migraine disability and health-related quality of life of healthcare workers.

Key words: Migraine, Health Care Workers, Quality of life, Saudi Arabia
