This study aimed to explore the association between sleep quality and its components and both dimensions of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a sample of young adults. The sample comprised 337 participants with a mean age of 19.6 y (SD = 2.22). Sleep quality and HRQoL were measured through the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the SF-12, respectively. Regression analyses were used to investigate the association between sleep quality and HRQoL. Our results confirm the significant association between sleep quality and both physical (p = 0.015; β = −0.138; R2 = 0.07) and mental (p < 0.001; β = −0.348; R2 = 0.22) HRQoL in the adjusted models. However, our results also highlight the differential association between sleep quality and mental and physical HRQoL. Whereas all the sleep quality components (except sleep latency; p = 0.349) were significantly associated with mental HRQoL (p < 0.05), just two subscales (subjective sleep quality; p = 0.021; β = −0.143 and sleep disturbances p = 0.002; β = −0.165) showed a significant association. This study showed that there is a stronger association between sleep quality and mental health than sleep quality and physical health in young adults.

Objective: Past research has indicated that sexual abuse is related to mental and physical health conditions and that mental and physical health conditions are related to decreased health-related quality of life (HRQOL). However, little is known about the relationship between sexual abuse and HRQOL. The purpose of the present study is to investigate whether early sexual abuse is an important predictor of adult HRQOL in the current analysis. Design and Method: We recruited 267 subjects from 2009 September to 2015 December by advertisement in Korea. We excluded pregnancy, seizure, major psychiatric and medical illness patients such as schizophrenia, mood disorder, anxiety disorder, severe hypertension and diabetes. We measured the Early Trauma Inventory for sexual abuse, coping scale and sociodemographic. IBM SPSS version 21.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results: Multiple linear regression analyses showed that HRQOL physical functioning (PF) subscale can be related to early sexual abuse after adjusting age, gender, education, problem solving coping style which were significantly correlated with HRQOL PF subscale. Conclusions: This study suggested that early sexual abuse is an important determinant of HRQOL PF in general population.

This study examines the association between school absenteeism, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and happiness among young adults aged 16–26 years attending vocational education. Cross-sectional data from a survey among 676 young adults were analyzed. School absenteeism was measured by the self-reported number of sick days in the past eight weeks and hours of truancy in the past four weeks. HRQOL was measured by the 12-item Short Form Health Survey; physical and mental component summary scores were calculated. General happiness was assessed on a scale of 0–10, higher scores indicating greater happiness. Linear regression analyses were performed. The study population had a mean age of 18.5 years (SD 2.2); 26.1% were boys. Young adults with ≥5 sick days or ≥6 h of truancy reported lower mental HRQOL compared to young adults without sickness absence or truancy (p < 0.05). Young adults with 1–4 and ≥5 sick days reported lower physical HRQOL compared to young adults who had not reported to be sick (p < 0.05). Young adults with 1–5 h and ≥6 h of truancy reported higher physical HRQOL compared to young adults who were not truant (p < 0.05). No associations were observed between school absence and happiness. Lower self-reported mental HRQOL was observed among young adults with more school absenteeism due to sickness or truancy. Sickness absence was additionally associated with lower physical HRQOL.
