Aim:This study aims to evaluate the relationship between perceived level of stress and quality of life of professionals working in Prompt Service Units in the city of Palmas, Tocantins.Methods:A cross-sectional study was performed among 164 professionals from Prompt Service Units. Stress levels were evaluated using the Perceived Stress Scale. The WHOQOL-bref was used to evaluate the perception of quality of life. Quantitative variables distribution was evaluated using Shapiro-Wilk's test. For the analyses of correlations among perceived level of stress, total quality of life score, and the physical health domain of the WHOQOL-bref, Pearson's correlation test was applied. The significance level adopted for this trial was 95%. The study was approved by the Committee of Ethics in Research with Human Beings.Results:When assessing the perceived level of stress with the total quality of life score, there was no significant correlation between those variables. However, there was an association between the perceived level of stress and the physical health domain of quality of life.Conclusion:Perceived quality of life was correlated with the physical health domain, and this result reinforces the importance of the facets that make up this area.

BACKGROUND Approximately 10-27% of the population aged >65 years suffers from frailty. The percentage increases with age so that the prevalence of frailty in the population aged >85 years reaches 45%. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between frailty and quality of life (QOL) in nursing home elderly. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of 138 subjects aged >60 years who were recruited from 4 nursing homes in West Jakarta. Participants with frailty status were evaluated by the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) instrument and QOL was evaluated by the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. One-way ANOVA and chi-square tests were used to find relations between the frailty syndrome and QOL. RESULTS The percentages of respondents with pre-frail, frail, and non-frail status were 30.4%, 52.2%, and 17.4%, respectively. A decline in QOL scores of pre-frail and frail respondents was found for almost all QOL domains (physical, psychological and environment domains), except social relationships. The subdomains most influenced were “energy and fatigue” in the physical health domain, “thinking, learning, memory and concentration” in psychological health, and “opportunities for acquiring new information and skills” in the environment domain. CONCLUSIONS More than half of the nursing home elderly were frail and one-third were pre-frail. The main factor of frailty was weakness. The frailty syndrome in the elderly has a negative impact on QOL, especially in the physical health, psychological and environment domains in nursing home elderly.

Background: This study was conducted to find and compare the quality of life of medical and non-medical students using a WHO questionnaire.Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan Medical and Dental College, University of the Punjab and University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Lahore. The shortened version of WHO Quality of Life questionnaire was used. Consecutive non-probability sampling was utilized to collect data which was analysed using SPSS 21.Results: Of the 450 questionnaires distributed, 400 qualified for the analysis. Out of 200 medical students’ questionnaires, 118 were filled by male and 82 by female medical students. The mean age of medical students participating in this study was 20.425±1.498 years. Of the 200 qualified non-medical questionnaires, 111 were filled by male and 89 by female non-medical students. The mean age of non-medical students was 20.995±1.645 years. Medical students’ environmental domain showed the highest mean score 65.52±14.82 followed by social relationships 62.39±13.98, psychological domain 59.84±13.64 and physical health domain 54.89±12.03. Non-medical students’ environmental domain had the highest mean score 64.18±15.67 followed by psychological domain 62.45±13.62, social relationships domain 59.82±14.42 and physical health domain 57.04±12.98. The scores of four domains were found to be significantly different in both disciplines (medical education and non-medical education).Conclusions: The results of present study emphasize on the need to look into all the parameters of physical health, psychological health, social relationships and environment of medical and non-medical institutes to improve the quality of life of students.

Background Since the beginning of the Syrian humanitarian crisis, Syrians sought refuge in many safer countries. Many aspects of Syrian refugees’ lives have been affected, hence affecting the overall quality of their lives. However, only one study has investigated their quality of life (QOL). The aim of this study was to assess the QOL of Syrian refugees residing outside camps in Jordan and compare it to the QOL of Jordanians and to other refugees and populations around the globe. Methods Data were obtained from Syrian refugees residing outside camps in Jordan, and from two Jordanian groups; low socioeconomic status (LSES) Jordanians and average socioeconomic status (ASES) Jordanians in 2017. A total of 661 Syrians, 208 LSES Jordanians and 714 ASES Jordanians, aged between 18 and 75 years were included. The World Health Organization Quality of Life instrument (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire was used as the QOL assessment tool. Analysis of Variance “ANOVA” and post hoc Tukey-Honest tests were used to find the differences between the means of QOL questions in the three groups (Syrians, ASES, and LSES). Stepwise multivariate linear regression was performed for each domain to determine the most associated risk factors. Results No significant difference was found between Syrian refugees and LSES Jordanians in the physical health domain. Syrian refugees scored significantly lower than LSES Jordanians in the psychological health and social relationship domain. Syrian refugees scored significantly higher than LSES Jordanians in the environmental domain. ASES Jordanians scored significantly higher than the other two groups in all domains, with all its scores above the average. Discussion Despite the support Jordan provides to the Syrian refugees, they still seem to suffer from poor psychological health, social relationships and environmental domains, with scores below 50 on (0–100) scale. Nonetheless, no significant difference was found between Syrian refugees and LSES Jordanians in the physical health domain, furthermore they scored significantly higher than LSES Jordanians in the environmental domain despite both scoring below 50 on (0–100) scale in this domain. Physical, psychological, and social domains were mainly affected by having a job, having higher income, and being married and free from diseases.

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) is a rare and neglected disorder. Only a few studies to date have focused on humanistic impacts of the disease, particularly health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The objective of our research is to (1) evaluate HRQOL in Brazilian patients with MPS and (2) assess the validity of the PedsQL 4.0 Generic Core Scales (PedsQL) in this specific disease. We performed an analytical cross-sectional study using the Brazilian Portuguese version of the PedsQL in 22 patients with MPS between the ages of 8 and 21. With regard to assessing the validity of the PedsQL for MPS, we evaluated internal consistency using Cronbach’s α coefficient and reliability using the Spearman–Brown estimate of agreement. The mean HRQOL score in our sample was 63.6 points. The worst score was obtained in the Psychosocial domain (61.9) on account of interference with school (56.1), while the Physical Health domain had the highest score (67.6). The total PedsQL internal consistency was .764 points. The Physical Health domain obtained the highest internal consistency (.914), whereas the Psychosocial Health domain obtained the lowest one (.754). MPS was demonstrated to decrease HRQOL, and PedsQL seems to be a valid instrument to perform this kind of analysis.
