Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the current status of quality of life (QoL) in patients with medium-to-large incisional hernia and its influencing factors, and to provide evidence for improving patients' QoL.

Methods

A retrospective survey was conducted among 43 patients with incisional hernia admitted to Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January to December 2025. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-9). Rank-sum tests, Spearman correlation analysis, and multiple stepwise linear regression were used to identify factors influencing the QoL summary score.

Results

The median QoL summary score was 87.09 (75.00, 94.23) points. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis showed that education level, frailty, and anxiety were independent influencing factors of QoL in patients with incisional hernia (P<0.05).

Conclusion

QoL in patients with incisional hernia is affected by multiple factors, including physiological, psychological, and social aspects. Healthcare professionals should emphasize frailty screening and psychological assessment, strengthen health education and psychological support, and implement comprehensive interventions such as prehabilitation to enhance physiological reserve and further improve patients' QoL.

Key words: Incisional hernia, medium-to-large, Quality of life, Influencing factor
