Abstract : Background of the Study: It is estimated that over 1.6 million Filipinos suffer from gout (PRA 2015), due to poor food and lifestyle choices and as a result, the prevalence of gout has been rising over time (Lazo 2015). This study seeks to determine the extent of compliance with gout management practices and evaluate their impact on patients' Quality of Life(QoL). The hypothesis postulates a significant relationship exists between these variables. This research holds significance to patients, caregivers, student nurses, and nursing practitioners by providing insights that can improve management strategies and enhance the QoL for those afflicted with Gouty Arthritis(GA).  Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the quality of life and compliance with the management of gouty arthritis in individuals diagnosed with the condition. This research sought to address the following questions: To what extent do individuals comply with the management protocols for gouty arthritis? What is the quality of life of those living with gouty arthritis? Is there a significant relationship between the quality of life and adherence to management strategies for gouty arthritis?  Materials and Methods: The researchers formally wrote to each of the Punong barangay in Iligan City, Marawi City and Bacolod Lanao Del Norte before starting the survey, requesting authorization to conduct study and distribute questionnaires to specific residents in their barangay.Using a quantitative, correlational research design, data were collected from 120 participants through validated Likert scale questionnaires.  Results: The findings indicate that while dietary compliance is adhered “rarely”, activity management and pharmacological and non-pharmacological management are “often” adhered to. Participants generally indicate a high QoL , with good core health days, manageable personal care needs, and a positive mental health outlook. A significant positive relationship exists between QoL and compliance with GA management.  Conclusion: There is a general significant positive correlation between a quality of life and compliance with the management of gouty arthritis. It shows that having high adherence with the management of gouty arthritis results in a high quality of life among individuals with the condition. Moreover, the study reveals the need for targeted interventions and patient education to optimize GA management and enhance QoL.
