Background. Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a condition in which gastric contents reflux into the larynx and pharynx, resulting in symptoms such as globus sensation, chronic cough, dysphagia, and voice changes. These symptoms can substantially impair patients’ quality of life. This study aims to describe the quality of life of patients with LPR using the Laryngopharyngeal Reflux–Health-Related Quality of Life (LPR-HRQL) instrument at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang. Methods. This research employed a descriptive quantitative design with a cross- sectional approach. A total of 27 patients who met the inclusion criteria were recruited using consecutive sampling. Data were collected using the LPR-HRQL questionnaire to assess five domains of quality of life: vocal function, cough symptoms, throat-clearing symptoms, throat symptoms, and psychosocial impact. Sociodemographic characteristics and risk factors, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking habits, and dietary patterns, were also evaluated. Descriptive frequency analysis was performed using SPSS version 27. Results. Most patients were aged 46–60 years (44.4%) and predominantly female (63%). The majority had a normal BMI (59.3%) and reported dietary habits that may exacerbate LPR, particularly consumption of spicy or fatty foods (55.6%). Most patients were non-smokers (74.1%) and did not consume caffeinated or carbonated beverages (63%). Vocal function impairment was the most disturbing complaint (37%). Other symptoms, including cough, throat clearing, and throat discomfort, were generally reported as minimally interfering with daily activities. However, more than half of the patients (55.6%) experienced significant psychosocial impact. Conclusion. Vocal function impairment represents the most prominent quality-of- life disturbance in patients with LPR, while other symptoms are perceived as less disruptive. Nevertheless, LPR remains associated with meaningful psychosocial consequences. Keywords: LPR, Quality of Life, LPR-HRQL, Voice Disorders, Laryngopharyngeal Reflux.
