O presente estudo visa investigar os fatores psicossociais potencialmente prejudiciais, que interferem na qualidade de vida de adolescentes gestantes, que residem na cidade de Joinville (SC) através de uma pesquisa de campo de abordagem qualitativa. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de uma entrevista semiestruturada com três gestantes com idades entre 10 e 19 anos, sendo que a análise foi realizada a partir da Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin, considerando o referencial teórico da Psicologia Social. Para abarcar a questão da gravidez de adolescentes e os fatores psicossociais, que interferem na sua qualidade de vida, as reflexões propostas foram organizadas pelas seguintes subcategorias: família, âmbito escolar, relacionamento, questões financeiras, fatores psicossociais positivos e negativos, mudanças, preconceito e planos futuros. Sendo assim, apesar de se buscar os aspectos comuns nas gestantes, percebeu-se justamente que cada adolescente e sua família recebem e lidam de maneiras diferentes com a gestação, levantando justamente a importância de não definir fatores determinantes ou generalizados sobre as gestações, visando sempre respeitar a singularidade de cada pessoa. De modo geral, a partir dos resultados da pesquisa foi possível confirmar a hipótese de que a maternidade impacta, diretamente, no futuro destas adolescentes, visto que interfere nos estudos, nas possibilidades de se conseguir um bom trabalho, uma moradia digna e uma estabilidade econômica, gerando uma (in) sustentabilidade, pois as mesmas repetem situação de vulnerabilidade, como condições econômicas reduzidas e prejuízos em relação ao âmbito escolar dos filhos. Palavras-chave: Adolescência.

Data collection took place by means of a structured interview with three pregnant women aged 10 to 19 years, being that the analysis was performed based on the analysis of the content of Bardin, considering the Social Psychology theoretical framework. To encompass the issue of adolescent pregnancy and psychosocial factors that interfere in their quality of life, the proposed reflections have been organized by the following subcategories: Family, scholastic, relationship, financial issues, psychosocial factors both positive and negative, changes, prejudice and future plans. Thus, although the common aspects in pregnant women were sought, it was realized that each adolescent and herfamily receive and deal in different ways with the pregnancy, raising precisely the importance of not defining factors or generalized about the pregnancy, always aiming at respecting the uniqueness of each person. Generally, from the search results it was possible to confirm the hypothesis that the motherhood directly impacts on the future of these adolescents, since it interferes in the studies, the possibilities of getting a good job, a decent housing and economic stability, generating an (un)sustainability, because the same repeat situation of vulnerability, such as reduced economic conditions and losses in relation to the scope of school children.  Keywords: Adolescence.

Quality of life and satisfaction with life as tightly interconnected concepts have become of much importance in the urbanism era. No doubt, it is one of the most important goals of every human society to enhance a citizen’s quality of life and to increase their satisfaction with life. However, there are many signs which demonstrate the low level of life satisfaction of Iranian citizens especially among the youth. Thus, considering the temporal concept of life satisfaction, this research aims to make a futures study in this field. Therefore, using a mixed model and employing research methods from futures studies, life satisfaction among the students of the University of Tehran were measured and their views on this subject investigated. Both quantitative and qualitative data were analysed together in order to test the hypotheses and to address the research questions on the youth discontentment with quality of life. Findings showed that the level of life satisfaction among students is relatively low and their image of the future is not positive and not optimistic. These views were elicited and discussed in the social, economic, political, environmental and technological perspectives. Keywords:  futures studies, quality of life, satisfaction with life, youth

Studies have shown that children and adolescents with autism and their relatives present a high level of stress and more family problems, impacting parents’ and caregivers’ quality of life (QoL). Despite studies on this subject, there is no specific questionnaire to evaluate QoL in parents or caregivers of children and adolescents with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) in Brazil. Therefore, this study’s primary purpose was to develop and validate a specific questionnaire to evaluate QoL in these individuals. The study was performed using the following steps: development of the ASD Parent/caregiver QoL questionnaire (autistic spectrum disorder parent/caregiver quality of life—ASDPC-QoL), subjective evaluation, validation of the questionnaire by the Delphi method, assessment of internal consistency, responsiveness, and reliability of the ASLPC-QoL, and administration of the questionnaire to 881 Brazilian ASD caregivers or parents. ASDPC-QoL comprises 28 questions divided into four domains (social, concerns, physical and mental health) with good psychometric properties (reproducibility, reliability, internal consistency, responsiveness, and validity). Our data showed that worries and physical health were the domains with the lowest scores in ASDPCA-QoL. ASDPCA-QoL did not differ among gender and age of child considering the total and all domains. Older participants (≥41 y/o) presented the best scores for social and worries domains but did not differ in other domains and the total. Parents or caregivers of ASD children diagnosed for more than three years have better mental and physical health domains than those recently diagnosed (up to 1 year) but did not differ in the total and other domains. Individuals with a partner and with the highest educational level present the best score for the social domain. Employed individuals showed better scores than unemployed ones for all domains and the total, except for worries, which did not differ. It also occurred comparing the individuals that do not use antidepressants and the ones that use them. Assessing and better understanding the QoL of caregivers is highly relevant. By understanding the social, worries, physical, and emotional health domains of caregivers, it is possible to track harmful aspects, prevent and treat pathologies, in addition to assisting in the implementation of effective public policies.

Background: The analysis has involved social interactions in a multicultural environment. The social context has been defined by the Vilnius region (Lithuania), where national, religious, and cultural differences exist across generations (multicultural community). The space of “social relationships”, as one of the modules of the WHO quality of life assessment, has been studied. An innovation of the research has been related to the analysis of the phenomenon of community of nationalities and cultures as a predictor of quality of life (QoL). The social motive of the research has been the historical continuity (for centuries) of the construction of the Vilnius cultural borderland. Here, the local community evolves from a group of many cultures to an intercultural community. Interpreting the data, therefore, requires a long perspective (a few generations) to understand the quality of relationships. We see social interactions and strategies for building them as a potential for social QoL in multicultural environments. Methods: The research has been conducted on a sample of 374 respondents, including Poles (172), Lithuanians (133), and Russians (69). A diagnostic poll has been used. The respondents were adolescents (15–16 years). The research answers the question: What variables form the interaction strategies of adolescents in a multicultural environment? The findings relate to interpreting the social interactions of adolescents within the boundaries of their living environment. The description of the social relations of adolescents provides an opportunity to implement the findings for further research on QoL. Results: An innovative outcome of the research is the analysis of 3 interaction strategies (attachment to national identification, intercultural dialogue, and multicultural community building) as a background for interpreting QoL in a multicultural environment. Their understanding is a useful knowledge for QoL researchers. The data analysis has taken into account cultural and generational (historical) sensitivities. Therefore, the team studying the data has consisted of researchers and residents of the Vilnius region. We used the interaction strategies of adolescents to describe the category of “social relationships” in nationally and culturally diverse settings.

Abstract Background Pregnant women experience physical, physiological, and mental changes. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a relevant indicator of psychological and physical behaviours, changing over the course of pregnancy. This study aims to assess HRQoL of pregnant women during different stages of pregnancy. Methods This cross-sectional study was performed using the The EuroQoL Group’s five-dimension five-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) to assess the HRQoL of pregnant women, and demographic data were collected. This study was conducted in a regional university hospital in Guangzhou, China. Results A total of 908 pregnant women were included in this study. Pregnant women in the early 2nd trimester had the highest HRQoL. The HRQoL of pregnant women rose from the 1st trimester to the early 2nd trimester, and dropped to the bottom at the late 3rd trimester due to some physical and mental changes. Reports of pain/discomfort problem were the most common (46.0%) while self-care were the least concern. More than 10% of pregnant women in the 1st trimester had health-related problems in at least one dimension of whole five dimensions. In the whole sample, the EuroQoL Group’s visual analog scale (EQ-VAS) was 87.86 ± 9.16. Across the gestational stages, the HRQoL remained stable during the pregnancy but the highest value was observed in the 1st trimester (89.65 ± 10.13) while the lowest was in the late 3rd trimester (87.28 ± 9.13). Conclusions During pregnancy, HRQoL were associated with gestational trimesters in a certain degree. HRQoL was the highest in the early 2nd trimester and then decreased to the lowest in the late 3rd trimester due to a series of physical and psychological changes. Therefore, obstetric doctors and medical institutions should give more attention and care to pregnant women in the late 3rd trimester.
