The purpose of this study were to describe and to identify factors that influence the quality of life in peptic ulcer patients. The study results showed that the mean score of quality of life according to the SF-36 scale was 65.2±19.8 (100 Point Scale). According to the SF-36 scale, the majority of peptic ulcer patients have a moderate quality of life with the rate of 69.0%. People aged 60 and over had a lower quality of life than those under 60. The difference was statistically significant with p < 0.05. There were a relationship between the age group 60 years and older and pain: frequency of pain is more than 2 times per month, pain at night, meal-related pain, moderate and severe pain and fatigue symptoms. There was no statistically significant relationship between gender, education, occupation, marital status and health insurance with patients' quality of lifeHospitals need to research solutions to improve pain symptoms in peptic ulcer patients to improve their quality of life, especially in the elderly.
