Abstract
Background: There remains a gap in understanding post-sepsis outcomes, particularly regarding the factors that influence the quality of life (QOL) among sepsis survivors during and after hospitalization. Objective: To determine factors impacting QOL among sepsis survivors during and after hospitalization based on the evaluation and synthesis of current evidence. Methods: This review encompassed studies published from January 2020 to December 2024, sourced from Scopus, PubMed, Medline, ScienceDirect, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, and Web of Science. The process of identifying, screening, excluding, and including articles followed the guidelines set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA). Data synthesis for theme generation was conducted using the convergent integrated analysis framework as recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Results: A total of 1164 records were identified from the databases. After removing 130 duplicates, 1034 articles remained for screening based on their titles and abstracts according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. At this stage, 1021 articles did not meet the criteria and were excluded, leaving 13 articles eligible for full-text screening. During this phase, 5 articles were excluded for various reasons, resulting in eight studies being included in the systematic review. Data synthesis of these studies revealed seven themes related to factors impacting QOL among sepsis survivors during and after hospitalization: 1) Physical Health Dimension, 2) Mental Health Dimension, 3) Treatment During Hospitalization, 4) Spiritual Dimension, 5) Social Support, 6) Mortality, and 7) Blood Biomarkers. Conclusion: This systematic review provides valuable insights into the factors affecting the quality of life among sepsis survivors during and after hospitalization. These findings enhance the current knowledge base and offer clinicians, researchers, and policymakers actionable insights to improve outcomes and well-being for sepsis survivors.
