The goal of this study is a comparative analysis of the possibilities of physical education for children with health problems and the current status in boys and girls. Understanding the concept of impaired health is a precondition for the realization of the training process and possible integration in the process of physical education, according to the structure of health disadvantages. Quality of life assessment is performed on three levels. The first level are items that are given in the form of a statement. On the second level, item-like particles are observed in the sub-segments (scales that cover different dimensions of health and quality of life). The raw scores of each scale are transformed into standardized ones with a possible value of 1-4, which facilitates the interpretation of the results. The third level represents total physical and psycho-social health. Up to this level, there are certain mathematical procedures, based on the individual scale scores. Comparative analyses in regard of the cultural and gender specificities are provided, based on MANOVA and DISCRA analyses, within the introductory part, and 11 scales of the Questionnaire. Analysis of the data point out major differences in the possibility of physical activity application in children with medical conditions, with a special overview of boys and girls from diverse cultural and social backgrounds, in Serbia and the Northern Aegean region of Greece.

The Relationship

Previous research has mainly dealt with the physiological and psychological restorative effects of the forest environment. However, comparatively few studies have focused on how the traits and attributes of individuals (individual traits) affect the restorative effects of the forest environment. In this study, we examined the relationships between the psychological restorative effects offered by perceived restorativeness of outdoor settings and the individual traits. Then, we investigated the relationships between the restorative indicators that are useful in examining the restorative properties (i.e., the Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS); seven indicators in total), the psychological restorative effect (Profile of Mood States (POMS), Restorative Outcome Scale (ROS), positive and negative affect schedule (PANAS), and Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS); 10 indicators in total), and the individual trait indicators that could be used to investigate individual traits (Development of Health and Life Habit Inventory for lifestyle, Lazarus-type Stress Coping Inventory for stress coping, World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment 26 for quality of life (QOL), and Sukemune-Hiew Resilience test for resilience; 28 indicators in total) in forest and urban settings. Respondents consisted of 46 male students in their twenties. A short-term experiment was conducted using the same method in both environmental settings. We then analyzed the intrinsic restorative properties and the restorative effects of the settings and referred to prior research to determine the restorative effects. Furthermore, we analyzed the relationship between the restorative indicators and the individual trait indicators by correlation analysis and multiple regression (step-wise) analysis. These new findings were obtained: (1) the forest setting was a restorative environment with a higher restorative effect than the urban setting; (2) although the forest setting had a higher restorative effect than the urban setting, and the influence of individual traits was small; (3) in the forest setting, the relationship between the restorative indicators and individual traits indicators were arranged; (4) distancing (Stress coping), psychological health (QOL), and satisfaction with living environment (QOL) were likely important indicators that are related to the restorative effects in the forest setting.

The Relationship

Quality of life has to do with the extent to which a person sees himself or herself as being healthy, comfortable and has the ability to enjoy or take part in life events. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks immune cells called CD4 cells. When HIV targets and infiltrates these cells, it reduces the body’s ability to combat other diseases. As HIV disease progresses the quality of life of the individual worsens. This study looked at the relationship between age, sex, marital status and Quality of life among 480 HIV/AIDS clinic attendees in a Nigerian tertiary health institution using the WHO-QOL BREF. 31.9%; 34.8% and 33.3% respectively had high, moderate and low quality of life respectively. The relationship between quality of life and gender was significant. Discussion of the result was based on literature reviewed and recommendations to guide policy formulation were proffered.

Relevance: Metastatic brain lesion (MBL) is a serious complication of the course of cancer. The advances in medicinal treatment have increased patients’ overall survival and, thereby, the MBL frequency. On the other hand, opportunities for the treatment of patients with MBL are expanding. Microsurgical techniques, stereotactic radiation therapy, and radiosurgery are actively implemented. Effective therapy and local control of MBL are of paramount importance for the prognosis and quality of life (QOL) of patients. This study aimed to investigate the influence of radiation therapy on quality of life assessment in patients with metastatic brain lesions. Results: The QOL analysis of patients with MBL showed that QOL mainly depends on the localization, histo-biological properties of the tumor, the severity of preoperative neurological deficit, as well as age and gender. MBL control may be important for maintaining the patient’s QOL but does not always affect survival, which is determined by the activity and prevalence of the disease. Conclusion: The QOL of patients with MBL is the defining criterion for assessing their condition and the effect of the therapy. This is because the limitations of the normal existence of the patient arising from a chronic disease are often more important to the patient than the symptoms of the disease.

Quality of life assessment has been proposed as a possible research tool for evaluating the life experiences of individuals in different cultures. The bulk of the literature on quality of life recognizes the existence of two separate but related measures of quality of life: objective measures (tangible and observable measures) and subjective measures (cognitive assessment or satisfaction with existing tangibles). The question is whether the subjective and objective measure of general quality of life of one culture can be used to assess or predict the quality of life in another. The current investigation suggests quality of life is best assessed within the context of the culture in which the individual resides and makes recommendations for social work education to reinforce cultural sensitivity through study abroad in order to prepare future social workers to meet the social service demands in a globalized world.

Quality of life indicators are key in assessing the effectiveness of physical therapy now, as they reflect the physical, psychological and social functioning of the individual. Objective: to determine the dynamics of quality of life in outpatients with disorders of orthopedic profile during a course of physical therapy, depending on the type of attitude to the disease. Research methods: quality of life assessment was conducted using the internationally standardized Health Status Survey. Patient grouping was performed using the International Classification of Functioning and the method of determining types of attitudes to the disease. The obtained results were processed by methods of mathematical statistics. The study involved 113 patients who underwent a course of physical therapy at FESCO Medical Center during 2013-2015. Results. The analysis revealed a number of features of the dynamics of quality of life depending on the localization of damage to the musculoskeletal system and the type of attitude to the disease. In particular, among lower-impaired patients group with irrational attitude to the disease had worse dynamics in the scales “physical functioning”, “role limitations due to physical health”, “pain”, “vitality”, “mental health” and "physical status". Because the dynamics in the groups with irrational attitude to the disease were statistically worse in a significant number of indicators, no comparison of the final indicators with the groups of patients with the rational attitude to the disease was observed. Conclusion. The existence of statistically significant differences in the dynamics of quality of life among patients with orthopedic profile during physical therapy at the outpatient stage was confirmed, depending on the type of attitude to the disease. The results obtained should be considered to improve the physical therapy system and increase its effectiveness. This is necessary first of all for patients with irrational attitude to the disease, as a significant number of the studied indicators were worse in these patients, and also had less pronounced dynamics compared to patients with rational psychotypes. This requires identifying the characteristics of managing such patients and improving management in the physical therapy system.

Background and Objectives: Tooth loss is a serious life event that impairs two important functions, namely, eating and speaking, and has significant side effects on different aspects of quality of life. These effects are internalized by the individual. The present study aimed to compare the quality of life (QOL) of patients requesting dental implants before and after implant. Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on patients referred to the Mashhad faculty of Dentistry and private clinics with dental implants in 2015. Patient Quality Of Life (QOL) was assessed using the Oral Impact on Daily Practice (OIDP) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. Results: In this study, the most common problems reported by patients were eating (78%), smiling, laughing, and embarrassment (53%) before surgery. The quality of life associated with eating; speaking clearly; clean teeth or dentures; light physical activities, such as working at home, going out to work or meeting others; smiling; laughing; showing teeth without discomfort and embarrassment; emotional conditions, such as becoming upset quicker than usual, enjoying communication with others (i.e., friends, relatives and neighbors); and job-related activities significantly increased after surgery, but QOL associated with the amount of sleep and resting did not improve. No significant association was noted between quality of life after implantation and place of residence, education and gender. Conclusion: In this study, implants had a favorable impact on a patient’s quality of life.
