Abstract
Health related quality of life is one of the best predictors for morbidity-mortality for chronic patients and one of the main indicators of medical treatment effectiveness. Diabetic and chronic renal failure patients had significantly lower scores on physical and mental health (SF-36 Health Survey), which means that they self-reported a significant limitation of domestic, professional and social activities. It also obtained significant interaction effects between group variable and two socio-demographic variables and two biomedical variables. Because quality of life is a subjective variable, we emphasize the importance of clinical psychologist should intervene to modify the cognitive and affective moderator factors.
