Abstract

The aim of this study was to find out the association between pregnancy-induced hypertension and the quality of life of the study participants. The study also aimed to detect an association between quality of life and certain demographic data for pregnant women with elevated blood pressure during different gestational periods.

A descriptive correlational study design was used. A non-probability (purposive) sample of 70 pregnant women was selected. The study tool used was a questionnaire, and interviews were used as a data collection method. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.

Most of the respondents were aged between 26 and 35 years, and the majority of the sample reported that they were satisfied with their income to some extent. The study showed a negative significant correlation between quality of life and some variables.

Quality of life decreased among mothers with a history of abortion, gestational diabetes mellitus, oligohydramnios, and elevated blood pressure. All pregnant mothers who suffered from gestational hypertension had fair quality of life.
