The study of the scientific literature concerning the concept of quality of life makes it possible to draw conclusions on this concept positioning in different sub-sectors of science, the convergence with its concept of standard of living as well as various approaches to quality of life in quantitative and qualitative evaluation. The author entirely supports the scientific opinion, which emphasises the subjective evaluation of quality of life, i.e., quality of life is subjectively expressed in the form of individual's satisfaction with life in general. It consists of certain elements that are important to the individual or affect his quality of life. The aim of the research is to analyse the students' understanding and interpretation of the concept ‘quality of life’, as well as gather and interpret the respondents' subjective evaluation of quality of life. Students are the basis of this study. General elements characterising students’ quality of life are available education services, disposable income, health care, cultural and entertainment events, sense of ‘belonging’ to a family, acquaintances and friends. The author's initial assumptions regarding the fact that most respondents would express dissatisfaction with certain elements of quality of life and quality of life in general, were not confirmed by the study.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the life quality of CEIT (Computer Education and Instructional Technologies) students according to their perception of gender, age, health status and level of income. The data were collected from the students studying at the third and fourth grades in CEIT undergraduate programs of Education Faculties affiliated to two different state universities. Among these students, 129 were third grade and 44 were fourth grade students. 86 of the students were female and 87 were male. While there were 34 students with a current disease, the number of students without a current disease was 139. Students’ perception of family income was at medium and low levels. 123 students who had the perception that their family had a medium level of income and 50 students who had the perception that their family had a low level of income were within the scope of the study. The World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Short Form (WHOQL-BREF) was used as the measurement tool. The scale adapted into Turkish included 29 items and five sub-dimensions. In terms of the variable of gender, physical health life quality perception of the students was found to be different in favor of female students. It was determined that the perception of physical health quality of life did not differ between students according to the presence of a current disease and family income. No significant difference was found in psychological life quality perceptions of the students in terms of their gender, current disease and level of income. However, the difference between the scores related to the psychological sub-dimension were found to be significant according to the common effect of gender-health, gender-income and gender-health-income perceptions. The social relations life score average of male students was found to be higher rather than the average score of females, and moreover, average score of the students with low-income perception was found to be higher rather than the average score of students with a perception of medium level of income. The perception of social relations life quality of students with low-income perception and without a current disease was determined to be higher rather than the life quality perceptions of the students with low-income perception. It was determined that the age of CEIT students was not a significant predictor of their perceptions related to physical health, and psychological and environmental life quality. However, the variable of age was specified to be a significant predictor of students’ perception on social relations quality of life.

A cross-sectional, quantitative study with the participation of 115 nursing professionals. The study method used the WHOQOL-brief questionnaire, the Work Capacity Index questionnaire, and a sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire.  The data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics, where values of p≤ 0.05 were considered significant. In terms of life quality, the domains that presented higher averages were for psychological 70.0±14.5 and social relations 70.8±19.8, with the physical domain reaching 64.4±11.9 and the environment at 57.7±13.6. The average score from the Work Capacity Index was 40.3±6.1; median: 42; IQR: 37.0-45.0), with a predominance of good and excellent for work capacity. Work capacity was increased for being male (β=3.99; p=0.016) and negatively associated to age (β=-0.31; p<0.001). In conclusion, it is verified that there is a positive correlation between the capacity for work and the evaluation of the quality of life, but it is emphasized that the sociodemographic and occupational characteristics lead the nursing professional to present a work capacity reduction, which generates alterations in the perception of life quality.
