Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study of 275 patients with chronic wounds attending three tertiary care hospitals in Muscat city, Sultanate of Oman. Adult patients of 18 years and above with wounds of duration of more than 4weeks were chosen by consecutive non-probability sampling. A pre-tested, semi-structured self-reported questionnaire was provided to each patient to complete. Data was analysed using SPSS IBM version 23.Results: The average age of the patients was 47.13±16.917 and the majority of them (64.7%) were males. Most of them (29.1%) had diabetic ulcers and 45.8% of them presented with mildly severe wounds based on Bates-Jensen wound assessment scale. Patients with chronic wounds reported a poor wellbeing scores (M=10.47, SD= 1.813), moderate quality of life (M=5.22, SD= 2.388) and satisfaction scores (M=6.89, SD= 2.388). Significant mean differences were reported with age, gender, educational level, and type of wound at p<.05 levels.Conclusion: These findings demonstrated that chronic wounds could influence the wellbeing, quality of life and overall satisfaction with the quality of life of patients suffering with it. These results also suggest a need to pay increased attention by the healthcare providers to the patients suffering from chronic wounds on the aspects of wellbeing and quality of life along with treating the physical symptoms.
