Abstract (sommario):

Pandemics over the years have been a constant threat towards mankind, the most recent COVID-19 outbreak is no exception to this. With the emerging demand of treating the outbreak, majority of the frontline workers have been assigned towards helping out the COVID-19 affected patients leaving the others behind. However, over time several healthcare practitioners have been using alternative forms of patient assessment tools. Heath Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) is one of the commonly used tools that have been widely used across Europe and America, using these, patients can self-evaluate their own conditions without requiring the assistance of a doctor. This paper focuses provides a conceptual framework that can be followed for quality of life assessment in chronic kidney patients using the Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) questionnaire.

Abstract (sommario):

The aim of this study was to analyze the quality of life of drug users hospitalized for treatment through the SF-36. We executed a quantitative-descriptive and cross-sectional research. A total of 52 patients (47 men and 5 women) participated in this study. Our results showed low scores on the physical (M=60), (DP=17,23) and mental (M=49), (DP=17,63) concepts in the first application; however, they showed significant improvements in the second application (M=88.6), (DP=10,85) and (M=82.2), (DP=16,72), respectively. The physical functioning (M=69), (DP=18,05) and vitality (M=58.8), (DP=20,04) concept were highlighted with low initial scores. Nevertheless, significant statistical differences were observed at the end of the treatment: (M=95.3), (DP=9,54) and (M=86.8), (DP=13,58), respectively. We concluded that the therapeutic interventions conducted by the multidisciplinary team from the institution contributed to improving these patients’ quality of life perception, as well as cooperated to increase adherence to treatment.

Abstract (sommario):

Aim: We aimed to find out whether the quality of life of seniors is higher in either home or institutional environment. Methods: We ́d realized the on the sample of 128 seniors living in institutional and home environment. We studied their quality of life via structured questionnaire WHOQL - BREF. Results: The achieved results show correlation between satisfaction with the health and perception of quality of life. We found that in the domain of physical health (presence of pain, degree of mobility, fatigue, loss of energy, the ability to do work, self-reliance, the need for frequent medical attention) the final domain score was 16.63 at home and 16.37 in the institutional environment (on a scale of 4-20). The scores found in our research are lowered compared with population norms. Quality of life of elderly living in their homes was 14.8 ± 10 and in the institutional environment it was 12.8 ± 11.09. The respondents from home environment reported better quality of life than respondents in the institutional environment. Conclusion: The support of quality of life should be one of the basic aims of nursing care. Nurses should make early identification of negative factors affecting quality of life and eliminate them by suitable nursing interventions.

Abstract (sommario):

As a consequence of industrialization, we face unprecedented pressures on the carrying capacity of the earth. Desertification, pollution and global climate changes can only increase these pressures, and will cause vast increases in the number of refugees and widespread risks to human health. Increasing inequalities between rich and poor nations are potential causes of conflict. Since the industrial countries are mainly responsible for our economic problems, they must give a lead in global arrangements to alleviate them. A major change in our habitual patterns of thought is essential, in which we reassess how we perceive values, and how we measure wealth and well-being. This must be accompanied by governmental action: on population numbers and the refugee problem; on the efficient use of energy; on new methods of land use, and on regulation of damaging industrial activities. To act in these ways, governments must reorganize their domestic policies and increase international co-operation.

Abstract (sommario):

The aim of this thesis was to develop a child self-report quality of life (QOL) measure for children below eight years. Two questions were central to the development of our instrument. First, can children below eight years self-report on their thoughts, feelings, and lives? Second, if so what are the best ways to gain self-reports from children? In answering these questions, we produced a set of guidelines that can be applied by researchers developing self-report measures for children. Studies 1 and 2 report the initial validation of our child self-report QOL measure (the teddy bear QOL measure, TedQL.l & 2). In Study 1, children's TedQL.l scores were positively correlated to their scores on an established measure (the PedsQLTM4.0). In Study 2, the response scale used to complete TedQL.2 items impacted on the psychometric properties of our measure. Study 3 reported further development of the content of our measure, using interview data from children about their lives. Based on the results of Study 3, a new version of our measure was developed (due to deletion, alteration, and addition of items). Study 4 established the most appropriate response scale for the TedQL.4, by comparing the psychometric properties of children's responses to TedQL.3 items across three response scales. Study 4 showed that children used concrete examples of specific situations to answer the TedQL.3 items, which may explain why young children's self reports are less stable over time compared to older children. The analysis in Study 4 revealed eight items that could be removed from the TedQL.3. Study 5 reported further validation of the child and parent versions of the TedQL.4. Both children's and parent's TedQLA scores were correlated to their PedsQLTM4.0 scores. No relations between child and parent rated child QOL were found for the PedsQLTM4.0 scores, however children's and parent's TedQL.4 scores were correlated across some of their scores. This thesis has shown the importance of gaining self-reports from children themselves, , and highlighted the best methods to use for such instruments. The applications of our TedQL measure have been discussed in the concluding section.

Abstract (sommario):

Background: Quality of Life (QoL) is now an important outcome for people with dementia but the nature of the illness means that there may be difficulty in measuring it. Aims: This thesis, using an established dementia specific outcome measure, the QOL-AD, aims to assess the validity of measuring QoL in severe dementia and to investigate determinants both of QoL and of change in QoL in dementia. Method: In the first study, 224 people with Alzheimer's disease living in community and institutional settings and their caregivers were interviewed. In the second study, 238 people with dementia living in residential homes and staff were interviewed with a follow up assessment at 20 weeks.;Results: People with a MMSE scores of < 12 and 3 could provide valid and reliable ratings of their own QoL and mood, functional ability and psychosocial factors were associated with QoL in this group. Secondly, the person with dementia's self-ratings of QoL were independently predicted by current mood, cholinesterase inhibitor treatment and living environment, whereas family caregiver ratings of the person with dementia's QoL were predicted by mood and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Similarly, in residential homes, mood was the strongest predictor of self-rated QoL but staff ratings of resident's QoL were predicted by levels of dependency. Lastly, cognition, mood function and behaviour were investigated as putative factors influencing change in QoL over 20 weeks. Change in QoL was predicted by changes in mood and cognition. Conclusion: People with severe dementia (MMSE > 2) can comment on their QoL. People with dementia's perception of QoL differs from their caregiver's perception of it. Many people with dementia experience a decline in QoL and this may be linked to deterioration in mood or cognitive function. This suggests that psychological and pharmacological interventions aimed at improving mood or cognition may also benefit QoL.

Abstract (sommario):

publisher version
The aim of this encyclopedia is to provide a comprehensive reference work on scientific and other scholarly research on the quality of life, including health-related quality of life research or also called patient-reported outcomes research. Since the 1960s two overlapping but fairly distinct research communities and traditions have developed concerning ideas about the quality of life, individually and collectively, one with a fairly narrow focus on health-related issues and one with a quite broad focus. In many ways, the central issues of these fields have roots extending to the observations and speculations of ancient philosophers, creating a continuous exploration by diverse explorers in diverse historic and cultural circumstances over several centuries of the qualities of human existence. What we have not had so far is a single, multidimensional reference work connecting the most salient and important contributions to the relevant fields. Entries are organized alphabetically and cover basic concepts, relatively well established facts, lawlike and causal relations, theories, methods, standardized tests, biographic entries on significant figures, organizational profiles, indicators and indexes of qualities of individuals and of communities of diverse sizes, including rural areas, towns, cities, counties, provinces, states, regions, countries and groups of countries.

Abstract (sommario):

The objectives of this study were to mathematically model the quality of college life (QCL) concept and to study the associations between attachment style, emotion regulation abilities, psychological needs fulfillment and QCL via structural equation modeling. Data was collected from 507 undergraduate students (men = 178, women = 329; age M = 21.78 years, SD = 4.37). This data was used to provide evidence for the validity of the College Adjustment Scales (CAS) as a measure of quality of college life. The CAS demonstrated good convergent validity with the World Health Organization Quality of Life measure (WHOQOL), Subjective Well-being and Psychological Well-being Scales. Results: Students who were insecurely attached were as likely to feel adequate in their academic and professional endeavors as securely attached students. However, insecurely attached students had lower QCL levels, lower fulfillment of psychological needs and more emotion regulation difficulties than securely attached students. The results also indicated that Anxious Attachment and Avoidant Attachment were positively and strongly associated. Nonetheless, Anxious Attachment and Avoidant Attachment affected QCL through different mechanism. Emotion regulation mediated the path between Anxious Attachment and QCL while the fulfillment of psychological needs mediated the path between Avoidant Attachment and QCL. The fulfillment of psychological needs also mediated the path between emotion regulation and QCL. The described pattern of results was found for three separate models representing 1) the student’s attachment with their romantic partner, 2) best friend and 3) mother. Additionally, the study’s findings suggest a change in primary attachment figure during the college years. Emotion regulation, the fulfillment of psychological needs and QCL were all affected more strongly by the student’s attachment style with their romantic partner and best friend compared to their attachment style with their parents.

Abstract (sommario):

Whether the stated goal of a program is to improve health, reduce crime, or to increase standard of living, the ultimate goal of social programs is to improve overall quality of life. An adequate measure of this outcome would help determine whether achievement of these more specific goals (e.g., health, education) really leads to improvements in overall life quality, and would allow trade-offs to be made in terms of funding across programs. However, an understanding of the determinants of life quality (i.e., the mechanism by which a program did or did not have its intended effect) is also essential to program evaluation and the design of future programs.This study constitutes the analysis of an existing dataset of individual traits, life circumstances, satisfaction with a list of 30 life domains, and overall quality of life for 193 healthy elders to test a hypothesized model of the determinants of life quality. As expected, domain satisfaction appears to be a function of life circumstances. Individuals' traits (e.g., age, sex, personality) modify this relationship, but neither they, nor respondents' reports of domain importance, appear to have any direct effect on quality of life. Instead, domain satisfactions alone are the most proximal determinants of overall quality of life. It also appears that individuals respond differently in terms of overall quality of life to reductions in satisfaction with certain domains than to increases. These findings should be evaluated further as they could affect the design of future successful programs. Because individuals' traits and individuals' ratings of domain importance seem to have no effect on the relationship between domain satisfaction and overall quality of life, it may not be essential to measure these in future studies. Finally, although the data on life domains available to this study were sufficient to generate these results, the first step in the development of adequate measures of overall quality of life and of domain satisfactions will be the construction of a comprehensive, fully-representative list of the life domains that comprise life as a whole.

Abstract (sommario):

Assessments of quality of life (QOL) for adolescents have received relatively little attention in the literature. Although there is no consensus on the definition of adolescent QOL and what aspects should be measured, it is generally accepted that QOL is a multidimensional construct. Issues related to adolescent QOL bear special considerations since experiences of adolescents are substantially different from those of adults. The aim of this study is to provide a better understanding of adolescent QOL by assessing the impact of determinants of QOL over a six-month period. The study will also evaluate the measurement properties of the latent factors underlying adolescent OL based on a second-order confirmatory factor analysis. A recursive structural equation model is then proposed to determine the direction and magnitude of the interdependent effects among the latent factors. The Quality of Life Profile Adolescent Version (QOLPAV), a generic 54-item questionnaire was utilised. It was administered to 251 adolescents without a chronic condition and 112 adolescents with a chronic condition at baseline and the cohort of 204 adolescent without a chronic condition and 96 adolescents with a chronic condition a six months. Stratified sampling was used to recruit the adolescents from high schools in the Perth metropolitan area. Subjects were aged 10 to 19. A non-categorical approach was utilised to recruit adolescents with a chronic condition. To account for the hierarchical effects of the adolescents nested within schools multilevel modelling was undertaken to explore the potential determinants of adolescent QOL perceived in his/her life and the opportunities available were found to be significant predictors for adolescent QOL. However, as expected, health was rated poorer, with more sick days reported by chronically ill adolescents.The results of the second-order confirmatory factor analysis suggested that adolescent QOL may be measured by five underlying constructs namely social, environment, psychological, physical health, and opportunities for growth and development. interdependent relations among these constructs identified the environment factor as primary, exerting both direct and indirect effects on the other four factors. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) also revealed no difference between chronically ill and healthy adolescents in their perceptions of the five constructs. Multilevel longitudinal analysis was performed to explore and quantify the variations in QOL over the six-month period. Although a large proportion of the variation can be accounted for by the covariates perceptions of physical health, age, control and opportunities, 38% of the variability in QOL scores was actually due to time. Similar to the baseline results, there was again no significant difference in the overall QOL scores between chronic and non-chronic adolescents at six months. Health was again rated poorer, with more sick days reported by chronically ill adolescents. The majority of both groups reported a positive QOL. Only 1% of the adolescents (non-chronic) reported a problematic QOL at baseline, which increased to 2.5% (non-chronic) at six months. There was also no significant change between the baseline QOL scores and those at six months. However, the social, physical health and opportunities for growth and development composite factor scores showed a decrease for both groups over the six months. The findings indicated that adolescents with a chronic condition do not view themselves different from their healthy counterparts in terms of QOL. The study enhanced our understanding of the effects of the broader determinants of adolescent health through a QOL perspective.The perceptions that teachers, parents and health professionals have on the relative importance of different aspects of QOL for the adolescent with a chronic illness were separately explored using a three round Delphi study. The first round questionnaire identified the level of importance each of the three panels attached to sixteen aspects relating to QOL. Panelists were also encouraged to provide additional comments on why they felt a particular item was important to the chronically ill adolescent's QOL. In round two, panelists were asked to prioritise the items in order of importance whereas round three attempted to achieve consensus within each of the panels. Differences between and within each of the panels in the prioritisation of item importance in round one and round two were evident. However, consensus was achieved in round three for the prioritisation of very important items by the panel of teachers. Items identified by by all three panels as extremely important included the adolescent's attitude, and friendships with the same age group. Themes to emerge from the qualitative responses to the open-ended questions included the adolescent "not Wanting to be different" and the importance of a "positive attitude". The majority of the three panels also perceived the QOL for the adolescent with a chronic illness to be worse than their healthy counterparts.Panelists were also encouraged to provide additional comments on why they felt a particular item was important to the chronically ill adolescent's QOL.

Abstract (sommario):

Background: Multiple myeloma is an increasingly common disease, but there is little evidence about the change in symptoms and problems in more advanced stages. Aim: To describe the health-related quality of life (QOL) trajectories in multiple myeloma, and to evaluate the longitudinal validity of the Myeloma Patient Outcome Scale (MyPOS), a questionnaire to monitor QOL and palliative care concerns. Methods: A national, multi-centre, observational study comprising (1) a cross-sectional analysis merging data from two studies, and (2) a longitudinal study, recruiting patients at various stages of the disease. Demographic and clinical data was collected alongside QOL measures. Analysis: (i) prevalence of symptoms and independently associated factors with poor quality of life, (ii) latent growth mixture analysis of quality of life trajectories, (iii) longitudinal validity and reliability via Rasch analysis, Generalizability theory and responsiveness to change. Results: (i) Cross-sectional study: 557 patients reported a mean of 7.2 symptoms with the most common symptoms, pain, fatigue and breathlessness, being present in 61-78% of patients. General symptom level, pain, anxiety and depression, physical decline, age and phase of illness had significant independent associations with high palliative care concerns. (ii) Longitudinal study: Four classes of individual QOL trajectories were identified (n=224): declining HRQOL over 8 months, stable moderate to good QOL, improving QOL, and fluctuating poor QOL. Logistic regression analysis revealed general symptom level (OR = 1.28), pain (OR=1.03) and presence of clinically relevant anxiety or depression (OR=1.19) to be predictors for a declining or poor QOL trajectory. (iii) The MyPOS demonstrated good to excellent test-retest reliability. Rasch analysis identified limitations of suboptimal scale-to-sample targeting, resulting in floor effects. Responsiveness analysis yielded an MID of +2.5 for improvement and -4.5 for deterioration. Conclusions: People with myeloma have four main trajectories of QOL which can be predicted by symptoms and psychological concerns. These could be tested as triggers for additional palliative support. The MyPOS is a valid and reliable outcome measure to monitor these indicators in routine clinical practice.

Abstract (sommario):

Background: Health is only one dimension of quality of life, and quality of life is more than health status, clinical symptoms, or functional ability, however it might be challenging to distinguish between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and both health and quality of life (QoL). Methods and Objectives: This study aims to identify dimensional measurement accuracy to health, quality of life and health related quality of life, and the focus of studies related to these terms. The PubMed database was searched for studies related to the terms 'dimensional measurement accuracy', 'health', 'quality of life', and 'quality of life related to health' without time limit. Results: A total of 14 results were found from the search: 4 results in relation to 'health', 5 results in relation to 'quality of life', 5 results in relation to 'health related quality of life. Among the 4 studies found in relation to health and dimensions of health, 2 of them had the objective of highlighting the importance of physical activity (respectively 6-minute walking and cardiorespiratory fitness) while one of them had the objective to compare weight estimation methods in an inner-city pediatric population with high obesity rates, while another study emphasizes the role of spatial contiguity and interfeature distances in the composite face illusion. While the 5 studies related to quality of life and health related quality of life turned out to be the same studies. 3 of the studies are related to the development and validation of an instrument (PROM) with respectively objectives, one study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of various symptoms and domains in differentiating patients with fibromyalgia from healthy controls, and the other study aims to assess psychological personal factors in individuals with spinal cord injury using Rasch analysis. Conclusions: The accuracy and precision of the dimensional measurement is essential for the validity and reliability of the studies.

Abstract (sommario):

This paper analyzes various dimensions of the quality of life in Montevideo. The paper finds that satisfaction with various public goods and services at the neighborhood level play a minor role in the overall reported well-being of individuals and in the satisfaction of life domains, such as leisure, social life, family, health, housing, neighborhood economic situation and work. This is in spite of significant disparities in a wide range of indicators among those living in different areas of the city. The results further suggest that differences in overall happiness and in domain satisfaction are mostly due to differences in individual outcomes like education, health, labor situation and housing quality.

Abstract (sommario):

Theoretical literatures on procedural utility and the psychological benefits of political participation suggest that people who participate in political activities will be more satisfied with their lives because of the resulting feelings of autonomy, competence and relatedness. Individual-level data from Latin America showin one dataset under study but not in anothera positive and statistically significant relationship between voting and life satisfaction. Variation in desire to vote as measured in Costa Rica, however, suggests that the causal arrow may run from happiness to voting. The use of multilevel models further reveals a consistentbut untheorizedcross-country negative relationship between enforced compulsory voting and happiness. Only preliminary results are found regarding the relationship between some other forms of political participation and life satisfaction.
