Abstract

In our country people with disabilities constitute a priority group of comprehensive care aimed at improving their quality of life, which is influenced by several factors; the objective of this study is to establish the relationship that exists between the quality of life and the grade of disability of people with disabilities in the province of Loja for which a descriptive, analytical cross-sectional study was designed with a sample of 397 people with Severe and very serious disability in the province of Loja, selected by stratified random sampling. The measurement was made through the quality of life scale for people with disabilities GENCAT and for the degree of disability was verified the disability card. Data were analyzed from proportions (univariate analysis), through X² to measure association power, p value for significance to statistical relationships (bivariate analysis), and OR to measure risk. The results show a prevalence of poor quality of life of 68.78% (95% CI), higher in very severe disability (72.66%) and good quality of life (31.23% (95% CI) highter in the Severe disability 41.66%. When we related these two variables we found a statistically significant association (p = .006) and with respect to risk, the higher the degree of disability, the greater the risk of poor quality of life.
