The article is focused on the problems of diagnostics of the security and defense specialists by a specialist of social and socio-pedagogical work in family problems. It is determined that the problems of families of Ukraine security and defense specialists under the hybrid war and military conflict in the East of Ukraine conditions are both general and special in the context of creating social conditions addressing issues of concern to the family. They may be subject to the work of military and social specialists in their departments and social work in the community with families, if they are in difficult life circumstances. The social diagnosis criterion is the quality of life of the family, which is an objective and subjective criterion, implemented through a system of indicators at the level of a particular family and its member and the family at the level of society. These criteria include quality of life such as physical health, emotional health (eg, satisfaction, self-esteem, happiness), material well-being, work, creativity, relationships, security, direct involvement in a particular society, which we revealed through indicators for families of security and defense specialists. Socio-pedagogical methods of determining the family life quality for making a family social diagnosis are generalized. When using them, we have to keep in mind that the family should be studied in statics and dynamics. Prospects for further research are the development of methods for studying the family in psychology, law and social sciences.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic led to uncertainty and severe health and economic concerns, which may have impacted human-dog relationships. Our objectives were to investigate how people perceived and acted during the COVID-19 pandemic social isolation, in regards to dog adoption and abandonment; and to examine the bidirectional relationships between dog owners’ well-being to that of their dogs. Overall, according to our analysis, the stricter the social isolation became during the pandemic, the interest in dog adoption as well as adoption rate increased significantly, while abandonment did not change. Moreover, there was a clear association between individuals’ impaired quality of life and their perceptions of poorer life quality of their dogs as well as the development of new behavioral problems. These findings suggest potential benefits for human-dog relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic, in compliance with the One Welfare approach.

The article examines the concept of quality of life and reviews the history of its development in the scientific literature. It is explained why estimation of country’s level of socio-economic development and quality of life can’t be done only by evaluation of GDP per capita and other dimensions have to be included such as those, which influence material well-being (level of income, living conditions, basic expenses rate in total consumption, income inequality, etc.) and other areas of well-being (such as quality of education, healthcare, ecology, social equality). Dimensions that have to be included while estimating the level of quality of life have been defined by the most influential works in both the theoretical development of the concept and its practical application. Tendencies of changes of life-quality in European countries during 2008 – 2019 have been described. The development of the most important indicators that have an impact on life-quality has also been examined. The article analyses the features of methodology and application of dynamic stochastic models of general equilibrium (DSGE-models). DSGE-model has been built based on analysis of quality of life. Evaluation of the model made it possible to determine the most influential factors in terms of quality of life, estimate the level of quality of life in Ukraine and European countries and formulate general recommendations based on the country’s weaknesses. The model can be used for analysis of life-quality for other countries as long as data of the indicators correspond with the values given by statistic services of the country. In case of necessity, the system of indicators used for estimation of the quality of life can be broadened or constricted.

Chronic urticaria (CU) is a skin condition characterized by sudden and recurrent episodes of wheals, angioedema, or both and commonly associated with itching for a duration of more than six weeks. The available data indicate that urticaria markedly affects both objective functioning and subjective well-being of patients. A review of patients’ records with chronic urticaria attending Civil Service Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 was done. A detailed demographic data of all patients with chronic urticaria was also retrieved. Dermatology Life Quality Index questionnaire (DLQI) Nepalese version was used for the assessment of the impact of disease on life quality. Mann–Whitney U-test was applied to compare means, and principle component analysis for factor analysis was used. A total of 149 patients were included, with a male-to-female ratio of 1 : 1.9. The mean age of the study population was 32.86  ±  12.837 years. The mean DLQI score was 8.30  ±  6.73 with men having a significantly greater score than women ( p < 0.02 ). DLQI scores negatively correlated with age ( p < 0.01 ). There was a high internal consistency among items (Cronbach’s alpha 0.89), and all items had satisfactory correlation with each other as well. Principle component extraction revealed that there were two underlying factors in the DLQI questionnaire on measuring quality of life in chronic urticaria. Males had a greater impairment in quality of life than females due to chronic urticaria. Most severe impairment was seen in symptoms/feelings subdomain. It also revealed that there were two different underlying factors in DLQI questionnaire.

6132 Background: The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy general (FACT) questionnaire was developed to assess disease and treatment specific issues affecting patients’ quality of life (QoL). Factors other than cancer and its treatment, such as age, general physical and emotional health, and socio-economic status, may have significant effects on QoL and patients’ response to treatments. This study examined the effect of these variables on the domains of the FACT in gynecologic oncology patients undergoing surgery for pelvic mass suspected to be malignant or endometrial cancer. Methods: Demographic information and patient characteristics were obtained pre-operatively. Patients also completed the FACT and the SF-36, a general health questionnaire that measures physical and mental well-being but is not designed to be sensitive to the detection of small treatment effects. Correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to assess the effect of diagnosis, age, body mass index (BMI), educational level, marital status, smoking status, physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) summary scores of the SF-36 on FACT domain scores. Results: Data were collected on 157 women at their pre-operative visit (endometrial cancer, n=45; benign masses, n=79; ovarian cancer, n=33). PCS, MCS and age were positively correlated with scores on the FACT, while BMI and smoking were negatively correlated ( Table ). Educational level was negatively correlated with scores on the social domain but positively correlated with physical scores on the FACT. PCS and MCS accounted for a significant amount of the variance (R2) in regression models for each of the FACT domains ( Table ). Conclusion: Patients’ QoL, as measured by a questionnaire that is sensitive to their disease and treatment, is affected by their baseline characteristics. As treatment options become more complex, these variables are likely to be of increasing importance in evaluating QoL. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.
