Background: Limb amputation is considered the last resort when the limb is no longer salvageable or when the limb is dead or dying, viable but nonf.nctional or endangering the patient’s lif.. It is associated with prof.und economic, social, and psychological ef.ects on the patients. The aim of.this study is to evaluate the quality of.lif. of.major limb amputees in a rural setting in western Cameroon. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive and analytical study carried out at the BATSENGLA-DSCHANG community in the West Region of.Cameroon. Participants were interviewed and data collected using a pre-def.ned accredited questionnaire of.the WHOQOL-BREf.to assess the quality of.lif.. Results: There were 63 participants, and a majority (60.32%) reported trauma as the cause of.amputation. Participants with prostheses had a better quality of.lif.. Conclusion: The age range of.the study participants was 18 to 85 years with a mean of.46.73 ± 18.31 years. The majority were males (74.6%). Most of.them (41.27%) had attained at least a secondary level of.education, a majority (80.95%) were unemployed and more than half.(55.56%) have less than the guaranteed inter-prof.ssional minimum wage. Major limb amputations were mostly due to traumatic causes (72%) and involved the lower limbs. Only a f.w (12.70%) used prostheses. Almost all of.them (90.48%) had symptoms consistent with a phantom limb. The quality of.lif. af.er major limb amputation in this study was generally f.ir according to the WHO quality of.lif. tool.
