Examining various studies show that life quality in asthmatic and COPD patients is not so desirable, but the
aspects of life quality which are most likely to be affected by the disease and the level of life quality according
to the patient is unclear. Since no similar studies have been conducted in Yasuj, the present study aimed to
determine the life quality of patients with asthma and COPD from various aspects (physical, social,
occupational, mental, and mental performance, sleep and rest) and the level of anxiety in these patients. The
study was cross-sectional performed on 119 patients with asthma and COPD selected by convenience
sampling method. Data collection tools were demographic questionnaire, asthma questionnaire, life quality
questionnaire, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and perceived social support questionnaire. The obtained data
were analyzed in SPSS 23. According to the results, the life quality of the patients with asthma and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease was reported to be in a desirable level as compared to the population mean
(52.5 ± 21.6). There was a significant negative relationship between life quality and anxiety in the adult patients
with asthma and COPD (p = 0.0001; t = -6.11) and the prevalence of anxiety was high in these patients. In the
present study, the independent variable was FEV1 and dependent variable was the patients' life quality with the
results showing a direct and significant relationship between them (p = 0.034). Moreover, it was found that life
quality of the patients was not significantly correlated with disease duration and gender (p?0.05).
