| Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common digestive disorders and more prevalent reason for missing work after the common flu. Methods: the current study utilized cross-sectional descriptive research design and was conducted in King Abdulaziz Hospital in Al-Ahsa Region. The sample size 150 subjects who were in king Abdulaziz hospitals and fulfill the following criteria: age from 21- 60 years, both sex, accept to be included in the study and who selected according to Rome Criteria IV, which states that they must have experienced abdominal pain at least once per week for the previous three months. Subjects with a history of Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis, colon cancer, or IBS were not included in this study. Four tools was used in this study, patient's demographic data tool, patient's clinical data, the IBS-QOL tool and Irritable bowel syndrome - severity symptom scale (IBS-SSS) .Results: Nearly 50% of the participants were men between the ages of 21 and 29, and over 50% of those people were married, graduated from university and unemployed. Finally, the present study shows that most demographic and clinical factors do not significantly influence QOL in IBS patients though; family history plays an important role. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that QOL was significantly correlated with the severity of IBS symptoms. Recommendations: Regular plans for continuous patient education are necessary for symptom control and to lessen the negative impact of the condition on QOL. Replicating the study with a bigger sample from a different kind of institution is necessary to generalize the results to a larger population. | ||||
