The results show that CD significantly alters QoL, with low scores in both physical and mental domains. Factors associated with impaired HRQOL included non-university education and low socio-economic status. The study recommends the systematic use of HRQOL assessment tools and the implementation of supportive strategies to improve RSG adherence and patient management.
