Prisoners in the correctional area are faced with unexpected situations and conditions. Prisoners ability to solve problems will affect the level of quality of life (QOL). However, research that focused on QOL levels based on age and education is not yet available, so this research is essential. This study applied a cross-sectional design with systemic random sampling and purposive sampling techniques. QoL measurements were carried out at 120 male prisoners using WHOQOL BREF instruments that have been tested as valid and reliable. The study was conducted in one of the Prisons in Central Java Province in September 2019. Inclusion criteria were no family visits, occupation of prisons for less than 18 months, general crime, and no cognitive impairment. The results showed that male prisoners with late adulthood and high school education had higher QOL mean rates of 88.5 and 87.6. The conclusion is the level of QOL related to age and high education.

Abstrak. Perubahan standar kehidupan Warga Binaan Pemasyarakatan (WBP) yang tidak sesuai dengan target pencapaian memberikan pengaruh terhadap kesehatan mental khususnya kualitas hidup. Namun, penelitian yang membahas mengenai kualitas hidup berdasarkan empat domain (fisik, psikologis, hubungan sosial, dan lingkungan) di Lapas belum tersedia sehingga penelitian ini perlu dilakukan untuk melihat gambaran kualitas hidup WBP. Penelitian menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan jumlah sampel 100 WBP laki-laki yang didapatkan melalui teknik systemic random sampling di salah satu Lapas Provinsi Jawa Tengah tahun 2019. Menghuni Lapas maksimal 18 bulan, tidak mendapat kunjungan keluarga secara langsung menjadi kriteria penentuan sampel. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah WHOQOL-BREF. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kualitas hidup berdasarkan domain fisik WBP 63%, psikologis 63%, hubungan sosial 56%, dan lingkungan 50%. Simpulan yang dapat diambil adalah bahwa kesehatan mental WBP dapat dilihat dari gambaran kualitas hidup. Hasil penelitian ini akan memudahkan perawat komunitas dalam menentukan masalah dan intervensi keperawatan yang tepat dalam menangani permasalahan di Lapas.Kata kunci: Penjara, perawat Lapas, kualitas hidup, warga binaan. Mental Health Prisoners Based On Quality Of Life: An Overview Abstract. Changes in prisoners living standards that did not accordance with the achievement targets have an impact on mental health especially their quality of life. However, research that discusses the quality of life based on four domains (physical, psychological, social relations, and environment) in prison is not yet available so this research needs to be done to see an overview of prisoners quality of life. This study used a cross sectional design with 100 male prisoners as sample that obtained through systemic random sampling techniques in one of Central Java Prison in 2019. Inhabiting the prison for a maximum of 18 months, no direct family visits were the criteria for determining the sample. The instrument used in this study was WHOQOL-BREF. The results showed that quality of life was based on the physical domain of WBP 63%, psychological 63%, social relations 56%, and environment 50%. The conclusion is mental health can be know from quality of life overview. This research can facilitate community nurses in determining problems and appropriate nursing interventions in dealing with quality of life problems in correctional institutions.

Objective: An anxiety disorder severely affects the sufferer's quality of life (QOL), and this may be particularly true of those with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). This study examines the differential impact of obsessions, compulsions, and depression comorbidity on the QOL of individuals with OCD. Method: Forty-three individuals diagnosed with OCD according to DSM-IV criteria and experiencing clinically significant obsessions and compulsions completed measures of QOL, obsessive–compulsive symptom severity, and depression severity. Results: Obsession severity was found to significantly predict patient QOL, whereas the severity of compulsive rituals did not impact on QOL ratings. Comorbid depression severity was the single greatest predictor of poor QOL, accounting for 54% of the variance. Conclusions: Given the importance of these symptoms, treatments that directly target obsessions and secondary depression symptoms in OCD are warranted. However, replication of these findings in a prospective cohort study is required, because although the the current study's cross-sectional design allows for the examination of the associations among obsessions, depression, and QOL, it cannot establish their temporal framework (that is, causal relations).

Abstract Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is determined by multiple factors that include components such as spirituality and religiousness (S/R). Even though various systematic reviews have investigated the association between S/R and improved health outcomes in the most different groups, healthy young individuals are seldom addressed. The aim this study was to evalue the association between S/R and HRQoL among young, healthy individuals.Methods: Systematic review of papers published in the last ten years and indexed in four academic research databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus) and two gray literature databases. Inclusion criteria were studies assessing S/R and HRQoL using validated instruments and assessing healthy adults (i.e., non-clinical patients, not belonging to any specific group of chronic diseases), aged between 18 and 64 years old. Results: Ten out of 1,952 studies met the inclusion criteria: nine cross-sectional and one longitudinal cohort study, in which 89% of the participants were college students. Nine studies report a positive association between S/R and HRQoL, while one study did not report any significant association. The main HRQoL domains associated with S/R were the psychological, social relationships, and environment domains, while the S/R most influent facets/components were optimism, inner strength, peace, high control, hope, and happiness. Conclusions: Higher S/R levels among healthy adult individuals were associated with higher HRQoL levels, suggesting the S/R can be an important strategy to deal with adverse environmental situations even among those without chronic diseases, enhancing the wellbeing of individuals.

Quality of life was compared for lifetime victimized (n = 353) and nonvictimized men (n = 167) for demographic and quality of life variables by a cross-sectional design. The univariate analyses showed that victims compared to nonvictims had a lower quality of life, were younger, more often had upper secondary school education, and were more often blue-collar/low white-collar workers, on student allowances, on unemployment, financially strained, and smokers. The regressions revealed that unemployment, financial strain, smoking, depression, and home/public abuse were associated with reduced quality of life among victimized men. Being a blue-collar/low/intermediate white-collar worker and social support were related to increased quality of life. This study may have provided new insights into the experiences of quality of life of victimized men.

Interest in quality of life in mental health care has been stimulated by the deinstitutionalization of psychiatric patients as well as a parallel interest in understanding the scope of their daily lives. This study aims to investigate the socio-demographic and clinical variables related to low quality of life, using a cross-sectional design to evaluate quality of life by means of the QLS-BR scale. We interviewed a sample of 123 outpatients from a reference mental health center in Divinópolis, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, clinically diagnosed with schizophrenia. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were carried out. The results showed that low quality of life is associated with one or more of the following: male gender, single marital status, low income plus low schooling, use of three or more prescribed psychoactive drugs, psychomotor agitation during the interview, and current follow-up care. The study identifies plausible indicators for the attention and care needed to improve psychiatric patient treatment.
