Today the health status of school-age children after suffering from COVID-19 is an urgent medical problem all over the world. The study of indicators of quality of life (QoL) is of great practical importance for children and adolescents. QoL is a multidimensional concept that takes into account physical, mental and social aspects of well-being and functioning The objective: to analyze the quality of life indicators in school-age children who suffered from COVID-19 of varying degrees of severity. Materials and methods. The study included 155 children from 6 to 18 years old, who were divided into groups. The main group included 120 children with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 in the anamnesis and a period after COVID-19 of more than 12 weeks. The control group included 35 somatically healthy children who did not suffer from COVID-19, and were the same age as individuals in the main group. The patients of the main group were divided into three groups: I group – 49 children who had mild COVID-19; II group – 40 children who suffered from moderate severity of COVID-19; III group – 31 children who fell ill with COVID-19 with a severe course. Quality of life indicators were assessed using a questionnaire based on the PedQL 4.0 scale. General clinical (analysis of anamnesis data, objective examination) and statistical research methods were also used. Results. As a result of the study, it was found that the average score of the final assessment of the state of physical health in the main group was 76.64±8.62 points, in the control group – 87.68±6.01 points (p<0.001). The average score of the final assessment of psychosocial health in the main group was 68.57±7.67 points, in the control group – 85.43±6.21 points (p<0.001). The average value of the total score on the PedsQL 4.0 scale in the main group was 72.61±6.69 points, in the control group – 86.55±5.1 points (p<0.001). The lowest indicators of the final assessment of the state of physical health, psychosocial health and the total score on the PedsQL 4.0 scale were found in the III group, the highest indicators – in the I group (statistical difference from the control group p<0.01). A rank negative correlation of medium strength was determined between the indicator of the final assessment of the physical state of health and the total score on the PedsQL 4.0 scale and severity of COVID-19 (r=–0.626; p<0.001, r=–0.615; p<0.001, respectively). A negative weak rank correlation was established between the index of the final assessment of the psychosocial state of health and the degree of severity of COVID-19 (r=–0.364; р<0.001). Conclusions. The results of the study indicate that acute COVID-19 affects the quality of life of children. The impact of the coronavirus disease affects various indicators and areas of QoL in children and depends on the severity of COVID-19. Severe COVID-19 has an equally negative impact on all areas of the quality of life of children and adolescents.

This study examined quality of life (QoL) in youth with misophonia compared to a general US youth sample and how misophonia-related variables (severity, number of triggers, responses), internalizing/externalizing symptoms, age and gender were associated with QoL among youth with misophonia. One-hundred and two children and adolescents (Mage = 13.7 [2.5]) with impairing misophonia symptoms completed self-report measures and clinical interviews. A comparison to a general US youth sample was conducted by dividing participants with misophonia into two age groups (< or ≥ 14 years). Older youth with misophonia reported poorer QoL than youth from the general US population, while no statistically significant difference emerged for younger youth with misophonia. More internalizing symptoms, more pessimism, a greater number of misophonia triggers, and being older were significantly associated with poorer QoL among youth with misophonia, with each variable explaining unique variance. Hence, youth with misophonia – particularly adolescents – may have lower QoL compared to their peers, and internalizing symptoms and pessimism are most strongly correlated with poorer QoL. Future research should examine what contributes to poor QoL among youth with misophonia and their family members and potential remedies.

The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Brief Suicide Cognitions Scale (BSCS-T) and to explore the mediating role of emotional problems in the relationship between psychological vulnerability and suicide cognitions and quality of life among Turkish young adults. Participants were 418 students in Türkiye. The sample included 181 female (43.3%) and 237 male (56.7%) students aged 18–35 years (mean = 22.86, SD = 3.03). The results provided evidence to support the use of the BSCS-T as a means of identifying young people at high risk of suicide. Furthermore, the results showed that psychological vulnerability significantly and positively predicted emotional problems and suicidal cognitions among college students. In addition, psychological vulnerability negatively predicted students’ quality of life, and emotional problems played a mediating role between psychological vulnerability and both suicide cognitions and quality of life. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to reduce suicide risk and improve psychological well-being. Further research in this area can contribute to suicide prevention efforts and the development of effective strategies to support at-risk individuals in college settings.
