“…Our results indicate a higher quality of life of men than women, which is consistent with findings of study of Gholami et al, in which a significantly higher quality of life in the psychological domain characterized men not women (14.11 vs. 13.41), and a higher mean score of all aggregated domains of quality of life was reported (71.62 vs. 69.76) [18]. Significantly higher quality of life of men than women in the psychological domain has also been demonstrated in other studies domains [19,20].…”

Introduction:The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life of participants enrolled in PURE Poland study. Material and methods:Anonymous survey of quality of life was carried out between 2007 and 2010 as an additional study among population of Lower Silesia in Poland enrolled in PURE Poland study. Survey covered 1053 people of PURE Poland study population, who agreed to complete the survey. Three age groups were distinguished. The research was conducted with use of international quality of life questionnaire WHOQOL-BREF. Data was analyzed in respect to gender, age, civil status, level of education, and current sense of being diseased or diseased free. Results: The majority of respondents assessed their subjective quality of life (S-QoL) as good or very good. Males assessed S-QoL significantly higher than females, married people evaluated it higher than people living alone, people with higher education rated it higher than people with primary education. Respondents showed highest results in physical domain of quality of life and lowest in the environment domain of quality of life. The S-QoL was correlated with all domains but mostly with psychological domain of quality of life. Conclusions: Quality of life of the majority of respondents was good or very good. Further research should be conducted with the use of a set of different epidemiological variables (social, institutional, and general environment) and tests, and obtained results could become a base for constructing a model of self-assessed quality of life by the citizens of Wroclaw.

“…44 This indicates that lower androgen levels may be beneficial for the self-esteem of PCOS women acting positively on the domain "social aspects", which is one the best evaluated domains in questionnaires that assess QoL in women. 45 The control group had a significant improvement of the social domain after RET; in contrast, the PCOS group had no significant improvement in this domain. There were similar findings for the mental health domain.…”

Purpose Aerobic exercises may improve quality of life (QoL) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, there is no data on the effect of resistance exercise training (RET) programs on the QoL of women with PCOS. Thus, this study aimed to assess the effect of a 16-week RET program on QoL in PCOS women. Methods This 16-week case-control study enrolled 43 women with PCOS (PCOS group, PCOSG) and 51 healthy pre-menopausal controls aged 18 to 37 years (control group, CG). All women underwent a supervised RET program for 16 weeks, and were evaluated in two different occasions: week-0 (baseline), and week-16 (after RET). Quality of life was assessed using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Results Testosterone reduced significantly in both groups after RET (p < 0.01). The PCOSG had improvements in functional capacity at week-16 relative to week-0 (p = 0.02). The CG had significant improvements in vitality, social aspects, and mental health at week-16 relative to week-0 (p ≤ 0.01). There was a weak correlation between social aspects of the SF-36 domain and testosterone levels in PCOS women. Conclusion A 16-week RET program modestly improved QoL in women with PCOS.

“…To that end, it is assumed that the individual's quality of life is a multidimensional concept and it is necessary to approximate the relative weight of social relationships in said quality. The number of dimensions considered varies according to the authors (see for example [67][68][69]). The World Health Organization (see [70]) identifies six distinct dimensions, four of which are related to health (Health-Related Quality of Life: Physical health (HRQoL), Psychological health (HRQoL), Level of independence (HRQoL), Social relationships (HRQoL), Environment and Personal values and beliefs).…”

Capturing the Invisible Wealth in Nonprofits to Overcome Myopic Perceptions

2019

Since nonprofits use third-party funds for their activities, they are often perceived as resource managers or spending units, instead of being considered as social wealth generating entities. The aim of this study is to help to overcome this myopic perception by showing how the invisible wealth generated by these organizations can be made visible. We use the SROI methodology to do so, by identifying stakeholders, outcomes (tangible, intangible) and social impacts in a drug addiction treatment centre. The results show that social impact in monetary terms exceeds that of the inputs used, confirming the idea that addiction-based nonprofits are social wealth generating units. The conclusion drawn is that social impact measurement should be widely used as a management tool and a mechanism for reinforcing the social image of nonprofits.
