“…26 The WHOQOL-100 assessment was developed by the WHOQOL Group in 15 international field centers simultaneously to develop a QOL assessment tool that could be applicable cross-culturally. 16 We used the Japanese version of the WHOQOL-BREF—WHOQOL-26, a 26-item quality-of-life assessment form based on the WHOQOL100—to assess the self-perceived QOL of participants. 26 The WHOQOL-BREF comprises 24 items classified into 4 domains (physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment), and 2 items about WHOQOL as a whole.…”

“…The results of the analysis revealed that perceived support for the basic psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness significantly predicted satisfaction with health and QOL among students. 16 Coutinho et al 17 investigated the QOL of 347 college students, including those with mental health disorders, and applied structural equation modeling to determine the impact of mental health disorders on QOL. The findings reported higher levels of anxiety and experiential avoidance and lower QOL in students with chronic illness than in those without disabilities.…”

In recent years, the number of students enrolling in universities for higher education has increased, and these students are more diverse than ever before. Moreover, the number of students with disabilities in higher educational institutions is also increasing. Therefore, their support needs are becoming more diverse and specialized. To examine how best to provide support to students who are unable to locate it, this study conducted a survey in which details were collected from students who were involved with university student support organizations, analyze the relationship between subjective adjustment and objective adjustment, and examine the trends in subjective quality of life (QOL). In total, 156 university students (age: mean = 22.14, standard deviation = 2.86, range = 18-7) were surveyed between April 2018 and March 2020. The Japanese version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life, Brief Version, was used to analyze trends in subjective QOL. The average QOL of students who were less likely to receive support was lower than that of the general population. The results also indicated that QOL decreased as the level of disability and health status increased. Furthermore, the results of the analysis of the relationship between the overall domain QOL and the domain-specific QOL suggested that the psychological and environmental domains contributed the most to the overall QOL. Accordingly, students at universities require assistance in a number of areas. Furthermore, it is essential to adjust the content and combination of support according to the objective level of adjustment.

This research explores the risk perception of mental health disorders among disabled students and its implications on their quality of life (QOL), with a specific focus on the influence of support provided by university disability services. Students with disabilities often face unique challenges in their academic and personal lives, which can significantly impact their mental health and overall well-being. To evaluate the proposed research model, we employed a quantitative methodology, utilizing a cross-sectional data collection approach and applying the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) data analysis technique using SmartPLS software version 4. We collected primary data from a sample of 640 disabled students enrolled in multiple universities across Saudi Arabia. The research unveiled adverse associations between depression, anxiety, stress (as indicators of risk perception of mental health disorders), and QOL. Moreover, it was revealed that university disability support services (UDSS) had a positive impact on QOL. Importantly, the study emphasized that UDSS effectively mitigated and alleviated the adverse effects of depression, anxiety, and stress on the QOL of students with disabilities. The findings may offer insights for universities, policymakers, and disability service providers to enhance support structures, thereby improving the overall well-being of disabled students and reducing the risk of mental health disorders.
