ABSTRACT:
Background: Amputations for trauma patients included upper and lower limbs. The quality-of-life domains aimed to analyse a comprehensive approach to enhancing overall well-being among these patients. Methodology: The databases used were PubMed, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. The PRISMA guideline was used to eliminate other studies. The critical appraisal of studies used the CASP for qualitative research, NOS for cohort studies, and STROBE for cross-sectional studies to reveal strengths in methodology, data collection, and analysis. Results: Of the 110 records identified on databases, only 4 studies were used. The physical, financial, mental, and emotional domains were analyzed to achieve a quality of life in amputated trauma patients. Conclusion: Health promotion enhanced the domains of the quality of life. By integrating health promotion strategies with the four domains — physical, financial, mental, and emotional — new knowledge and practices was synthesized to foster holistic and sustainable health improvements among amputated trauma patients.
