“…The overall quality-of-life indicator is influenced by various factors. The main ones, according to scientists, are medical (the presence of chronic diseases, their duration and symptoms) and socio-demographic factors (Arabiat, Elliott, Draper, & Al Jabery, 2011;Bergier et al, 2018;Brodani & Kovacova, 2019;Pacesova, Smela, & Kracek, 2019;Pavlova, Vynogradskyi, Borek, & Borek, 2015;Pavlova, Vynogradskyi, Kurchaba, & Zikrach, 2017;Pavlova, Stefankiv, & Vynogradskyi, 2016). So, in the presence of chronic diseases, the younger the respondent, the lower their quality of life (Varni et al, 2007).…”

An analysis of children's quality of life allows answering a number of questions related to better understanding the problems in the child development. The purpose of the study was to analyse the differences in the physical and psychosocial components of the life quality of the child of preschool age by the responses of children and parents. The survey was attended by 57 children (passport age-5 years) and their parents. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) was used to assess the quality of life. The results were evaluated according to 4 scales-Physical Functioning (PF), Emotional Functioning (EF), Social Functioning (SF), Kindergarten Functioning (KF). Nonparametric analysis was used to compare the responses of parents and children. For most scales, the quality of life indicators exceeded 75 points (PF-78.7 points, EF-82.3 points, SF-76.1 points). The score recorded by parents for the quality of life of the child was lower and differed in the scales PF (by 10.9 points, p < 0.001), EF (by 12.7 points, p < 0.001,) KF (by 9.2 points, p = 0.02). The quality of life of Ukrainian preschool children is in a high range, but is lower in comparison with healthy respondents of the same age group from other countries. Critical for the low-value scales identified problems with peers. Parents give a more critical assessment of various aspects of the functioning of the child and are a source of additional information about the quality of life of the child.

“…The quality of life is defined as "the quality of the social and physical environment in which people pursue the gratification of their wants or needs" (Power, 2020, p. 3). According to Brodani and Kovacova (2019), the quality of life represents a positive interaction between various forms of social structure and personal satisfaction. Measuring the quality of life presents a considerable challenge because measuring objective factors is more straightforward than estimating subjective indicators of personal satisfaction, which are inherently unreliable (Križman, 2012).…”

Introduction: Alcohol dependence is the most prevalent addiction disorder that develops gradually as an interplay of individual and social factors. It impacts the quality of life of affected individuals. The purpose of this study was to examine the quality of life of alcohol-dependent people at different stages of treatment compared to individuals without alcohol dependence.Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted. First, a cross-sectional study (n = 502) was conducted using a validated Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q). Focus groups for subjective quality of life assessment were also conducted. Data were analysed using descriptive and inference methods (Mann Whitney U Test) with the SPSS, version 20 programme.Results: Non-dependent participants are significantly more satisfied with each of the quality of life component than alcohol-dependent participants. Differences were demonstrated in a sense of well-being and leisure-time activities. Differences between alcohol-dependent and non-dependent participants were seen in the domains of physical health, work satisfaction and social relationships.Discussion and conclusion: Alcohol-dependent participants reported a lower quality of life than non-alcohol dependent participants as alcohol dependents confront numerous problems associated with their dependence. There is a need for further research in the field of alcohol dependence in relation to the quality of life.

Introduction andObjective. Organized physical activity (OPA) is an important part of adolescents' physical activity (PA). The aim of the study is to determine differences between secondary school students and sports science students at the university participation in OPA, and to recommend a strategy to increase the active participation of adolescents in OP, and improve the education of sports specialists. Materials and method. The study was carried out continuously during 2010-2020 at 71 secondary schools in the Silesian region and at the Academy of Physical Education in Katowice, Poland. A total of 3,510 students participated in the study (2,199 secondary school students and 1,311 sports science students). To determine participation in OPA, the Physical Activity Preference Questionnaire was used, and to determine the level of weekly PA, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used.Results. The largest representation in the OPA was in school (21.1%) and university (30.7%) boys in soccer, and in school (13.7%) and university (33.4%) girls in volleyball. Schoolboys participating in OPA ≥5 lessons had statistically significantly more school PA, recreation PA, vigorous and total PA than boys not participating in OPA. University boys and girls were alike in vigorous PA. School (3.35 times) and university (1.73 times) boys and school (3.93 times) and university (5.08 times) girls were more likely to meet the PA recommendations. Conclusions. Active participation in the OPA of school and university boys and girls is significantly associated with a higher level of weekly PA, and likelihood to meet the PA recommendations. The greatest attention should focused on promotion of the participation in OPA in non-participating school boys and girls, as well as non-participating students at universities, as part of their professional training.
