“…Regarding QoL, only school-level safety was significantly associated with QoL. This result is consistent with previous studies that found higher neighborhood safety was associated with better QoL [76] and well-being [77]. This finding in our study suggests that pediatric QoL is more associated with safety at school-level than with school and neighborhood social capital at school-level.…”

Social capital is an important factor that affects mental health. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between social capital and depression and between social capital and quality of life (QoL) in children in elementary and junior high school and to examine how this relationship differs in relevant patterns at both the individual- and school-level. The study was conducted in all elementary and junior high schools in a single municipality; the subjects consisted of 3,722 elementary school and 3,987 junior high school students (aged from 9 to 15). A multilevel linear mixed effect model analysis revealed that all three subscales of social capital were associated with depression and QoL at the individual-level: The school social capital at the individual-level showed the strongest association with depression and QoL. We also found that some of social capital at the school-level was associated with depression and QoL. An interactive effect was observed between educational stage (elementary and junior high) and some of social capital subscales. Specifically, the inverse association between school social capital and depression was stronger among the junior high students, while the positive association between school and neighborhood social capital and QoL was stronger among the elementary students. These interactions suggest that social capital impacts depression and QoL differently in elementary and junior high students. These findings suggest that the degree of association of social capital domains differs in mental health among the educational stage.

“…Broad concepts such as overall neighborhood quality and satisfaction were positively associated with children's QoL (27,30,37). While perceived environmental safety concepts showed a positive relationship with children's QoL in three studies (23,31,34), two other studies found the association to be non-signi cant (23,27).…”

Background: Evidence of the effects of the built environment on children has mainly focused on disease outcomes; however, quality of life (QoL) has gained increasing attention as an important health and policy endpoint itself. Research on built environment effects on children’s QoL could inform public health programs and urban planning and design. Objective: We aimed to review and synthesize the evidence of the relationship between built environment features and children’s QoL. Methods: Five research databases were searched for quantitative peer-reviewed studies on children between 2-18 years, published in English or German between 2010-2021. Only primary research was considered. Included studies (n=17) were coded and methodologically assessed with the Joanna Briggs Critical Appraisal Checklists, and relevant data were extracted, analyzed, and synthesized, using the following built environment thematic framework: 1) neighborhood natural environment, 2) neighborhood infrastructure, and 3) neighborhood perception. Results: Green space was positively associated with children’s QoL. Infrastructure yielded inconclusive results across all measured aspects. Overall neighborhood satisfaction was positively correlated with higher QoL but results on perceived environmental safety were mixed. Conclusions: Most studies are correlational, making it difficult to infer causality. While the positive findings of green space on QoL are consistent, specific features of the built environment show inconsistent results. Overall perception of the built environment, such as neighborhood satisfaction, also shows more robust results compared to perceptions of specific features of the built environment. Due to the heterogeneity of both built environment and QoL measures, consistent definitions of both concepts will help advance this area of research.

“…With special reference to the difficult situation of teachers during the pandemic, work-family conflict emerged as a relevant job demand that might have challenged teachers’ emotional exhaustion. Studies conducted during the first wave showed that the blurring of the borders between family and work during the pandemic in terms of time management and workload heavily impacted on teachers’ perception of their quality of life, engendering work-life conflict ( Vega-Fernández et al, 2021 ; Martin et al, 2021 ). In view of the above, the first hypothesis of the present study argued that: H1: Job Demands (negative work to family and family to work spillover) are positively related to teachers’ Emotional Exhaustion.…”
