The Absolute

In this article, I propose a methodology for interpreting subjective indicators on the topic of quality of life, using several data sets: International Indicators Database (1970), Perceived Quality of Life in Romania (1979), Quality of Life Diagnosis in Romania (1990−2010); Eurobarometer in the EU (2015). The Absolute Data Assessment Scheme (SEDA) is used to interpret subjective data regarding the quality of life. In the first part, I present a short history of the concept of happiness and scientific research regarding quality of life scholarship. In the second part, I present the sociological perspective on the quality of life, focusing on analyzing subjective indicators of quality of life, and explaining the structure of the Absolute data assessment scheme − SEDA. Keywords: quality of life; quality of life research program in sociology; subjective wellbeing; absolute data evaluation scheme. ●●●●● În acest articol propun o metodologie de interpretare a indicatorilor subiectivi privind calitatea vieții, utilizând mai multe seturi de date: Baza indicatori la nivel internațional (1970), Calitatea Percepută a Vieții în România (1979), Diagnoza Calității Vieții în România (1990−2010); Eurobarometrul în UE (2015). Schema de evaluare a datelor absolute (SEDA) este utilizată pentru a interpreta date subiective privind calitatea vieții. În prima parte, realizez un scurt istoric al preocupărilor pentru înțelegerea conceptului de fericire și, ulterior, cercetării științifice a calității vieții și fericirii. În a doua parte, analizez perspectiva sociologică asupra calității vieții, concentrându-mă pe analiza indicatorilor subiectivi ai calității vieții și pe prezentarea structurii schemei de evaluare a datelor absolute – SEDA.

Quality Of Life Research

In this paper the objective and subjective measures (objective and subjective indicators) of the concept of quality of life research have been discussed. Since the measures are specific, the most part of the paper discusses separately their development and their methodological specifics. At the end of the paper the value of their joint use in the research has been emphasised. Both kinds of measures have their advantages and disadvantages, but in conceptual sense they are complementary. The quality of life is a complicated and multileveled construct which requires complex research approaches. Research has proved that parallel use of both kinds of indicators significantly improves comprehension of the quality of life of inhabitants of a certain geographical area.

The article presents the reference framework for multidisciplinary research at the Life Quality Research Centre (LQRC). The research paradigm about the citizens’ quality of life in society imposes a multifaceted and complex analysis. At the LQRC we address this as thematically divided into six scientific areas: education and training; physical activity and healthy lifestyles; food production and technology on food behaviors; organizational dynamics; motor behavior; and individual and community health. These areas are clearly related to the concept of quality of life. They fit the goals and dynamics of the research center. In each section, the authors develop the themes of research projects and the challenges that characterize research in the area of quality of life. It is clear that there is an agreement and understanding that ensures that quality of life research is on the agenda of the world organizations related to scientific research and human development. This is a real challenge for scientific research centers, since multidisciplinary paradigms are the foundation of our collective organization, and the evolution of research on quality of life could fulfil current needs and lead to the improvement of citizen lives.

Perceived Quality Of Life

AbstractAlthough it has been assumed for many years that there is a relationship between the subjectively perceived quality of residential environment and quality of life, empirical evidence for the existence of such a link has been inconclusive. It is also assumed that the perception of residential environment in a certain way covariates with the behavior of people in this environment; Empirical support for this correlation is now all the more problematic. The objectives in the our research project were as follows: (1) enriching the current knowledge about those links between the perceived quality of various residential areas and their inhabitants’ experienced quality of life, and (2) examining the co-variables between the sense of satisfaction with the residence and declared pro-social and civic behavior. For the purpose of our study, we proposed an original theoretical framework integrating several available man-environment-behavior relationship concepts with the more general homeodynamic regulation concept for achieving psychological balance. Sixty-two people aged 18 to 85 took part in the research. Two groups were identified in the analysis: young adults and seniors. No significant correlation was found between the respondents’ perceived quality of life and their satisfaction with the quality of the environment they inhabited. It was almost exclusively seniors who undertook activities to benefit the residential area, and their life quality was correlated with this activity. Young adults turned out to be generally inactive. Correlations between pro-social and civic behavior and the residential area’s assessed quality proved to be weak and simple, but had different directions and dimensions in young adults and seniors.

The work is devoted to the assessment of the perceived quality of life of the Russian people and its changes during the decade of the most prosperous economic development of Russia. The assessment of life quality and factors of its formation is intended to solve the fundamental and practical problems of social science. First of all, the assessment allows understanding the stage of development of the society and the characteristics of the achieved life quality in general and concerning its separate components; secondly, it helps understanding the influence of social system and state institutions over the conditions of life quality; thirdly, it shows the state of separate objective components of life quality; fourthly, it represents the way objective components of life quality determine the state of its subjective components – perceived quality of life and its components; finally, the state of the perceived life quality, its separate components and their influence over the state of social order in the society. The book covers the substantiation of the methodological and methodical approaches to the study of the perceived life quality of the population. Based on the results of empirical studies conducted in 2002, 2008 and 2012 according to a common methodology and method, the authors describe the changes in the state of the eight characteristics of the perceived life quality of the adult population of Russia which took place during the mentioned period: physical activity, the roles of physical and emotional problems in limitation of life activity, mental health, pain sense modality, general health, vitality, social activity and the contribution of the state of these parameters to the generalized index of life quality of the Russian population. The following factors of formation of the state of these characteristics were disclosed: gender, age, employment, average income per person in a family, education, marital status, place of residence. The authors define the influence of the state of the economy and economic situation in Russia in this period over the state of the perceived life quality.

Quality Of Life Indicators

This article proposes a systematic analysis of the main articles relevant to the topic of quality of life published in the Journal Quality of Life, in the period 1990−2020. The aim is to provide a better understanding of the development of this field of research after 1990, in the context of the post-socialist transition, and subsequent integration in the European Union and alignment with European standards. The Quality of Life Journal was one of the most important ways to disseminate the results of the research conducted in Romania; therefore, it can provide a general overview of the social issues addressed in the context of social and economic changes that Romania has gone through in the last 30 years. The conclusions suggest that the period 1990−2000 is one in which the quality of life research is institutionalized, and consolidated after 2000. Since Romania was included in the quality of life European surveys, it was constantly at the end of the EU rankings on most of the quality of life indicators. Keywords: Quality of life research; quality of life indicators; Romania; Research Institute for Quality of Life; Quality of life Journal. ●●●●● Acest articol realizează o analiză sistematică a principalelor articole relevante pentru temati calității vieții publicate în revista Calitatea vieții, în intervalul 1990−2020. Scopul este de a înțelege modalitatea în care domeniul de cercetare s-a dezvoltat în România după 1990, în contextul tranziției post-socialiste și ulterior integrării în Uniunea Europeană și alinierii la standardele europene. Publicarea în revista Calitatea vieții a reprezentat una dintre cele mai importante modalități de diseminare a rezultatelor cercetărilor desfășurate în domeniu în România, astfel că poate oferi o imagine de ansamblu cu privire la tematicile abordate în contextul transformărilor sociale și economice prin care a trecut România în ultimii 30 de ani. Concluziile sugerează faptul că perioada 1990−2000 este una în care se instituționalizează domeniul de cercetare a calității vieții, după 2000 urmând o perioadă de consolidare. Din momentul includerii în anchetele europene privind calitatea vieții, România s-a aflat pe ultimele locuri în Uniunea Europeană la majoritatea indicatorilor privind calitatea vieții.

Quality Dimensions

The main objective of this paper is to describe the logic of the conceptual approaches regarding the quality of life, and to identify the main dimensions and measurable indicators of quality of life. The identification of the main conceptualizations of quality of life is an essential step, in the context in which quality of life is often ambiguous or has multiple meanings. Although often used as an umbrella term which encompasses many aspects of human life, we aim to describe the logic of the integrative approaches regarding well-being/ quality of life. The identification of the main dimensions and measurable indicators of quality of life with a brief description of those, will serve to operationalize a list of life quality dimensions. Keywords: quality of life research; quality of life measurement; quality of life theory; social indicators; economic indicators. ●●●●● Principalele obiective ale acestei lucrări sunt de a descrie logica abordărilor conceptuale privind calitatea vieții și de a identifica principalele dimensiuni, respectiv indicatori măsurabili ai calității vieții. Analiza principalelor conceptualizări ale calității vieții reprezintă un pas esențial, în contextul în care utilizarea conceptului de calitatea vieții este adesea ambiguă sau cel puțin cu sensuri multiple. Deși utilizat adesea ca un termen-umbrelă care înglobează mai multe aspecte ale vieții umane, ne propunem să descriem logica abordărilor integrative privind calitatea vieții. Identificarea principalelor dimensiuni și indicatorii măsurabili ai calității vieții, cu o descriere pe scurt a acestora, va servi la operaționalizarea unei liste de dimensiuni a calității vieții.

Background : As the challenges arise in raising children with autism, mothers experience changes with their occupations and also on how they define them. This later alters the overall wellbeing both psychosocially and physically as changing on health status determines the life quality. Parents, particularly mothers with autistic children may encounter dynamic to their life quality as they discover adjustment on meanings of occupations while fostering their children. Research purposes of the study are to discover and to explore the mothers interpretations on their current occupations related to their role as main caregivers of their autistic children. Methods: This is a qualitative study with phenomology approach to discover and to explore the meaning of occupations and the dynamic of perceived-life quality as the meanings of occupations might shifting along the nurturing processes. This study had selected four people as research participants. The data were then collected through in-depth interviews and followed with thematic analysis. Results: Based on the analysis process, this study highlighted three main themes as follow, the general changes in life, the values of roles, and the perceived-life quality. Mothers who foster their autistic children had reported various changes in their daily occupations and how they perceived the meanings of these occupations as the diagnoses have altered the familial hierarchy within their domestic environments; this later also has significant impacts on their perceived-quality of life while fulfilling their role as the main house keepers. Thus, all these changes enforce the mothers to always strive on their best as this effort will eventually deliver positive meanings, such as self-confidence, greater responsibilities related to the roles as a mother and the possitive supports received from their support systems. Conclusion: The respondents reported the overwhelming perceived-satisfactions when talking about their quality of life. This is the result from personal beliefs over the ability to devote their life for the children and the family despite the perceptions that they are still unable to enjoy their general life ideally.

This study examined relations between dimensions of community satisfaction and perceived quality of life among residents of a southeastern United States (US) community. A random sample of 250 persons was interviewed using the Community Satisfaction Scale and a measure of over-all life quality. Two factors representing domains of community satisfaction. relevant to participants were positively and significantly related to perceptions of quality of life. Perceptions of care for community by others/institutions and belongingness/quality of community life were the best predictors. Results suggest the importance of social relations in community satisfaction and quality of life relationships. Implications for generalization of community satisfaction constructs across settings and to studies of planning and community change are discussed.

Resumo: O progressivo crescimento da população no Brasil tem causado, no âmbito sócio-econômico principalmente, preocupação aos sistemas de saúde, os quais ainda não estão preparados para atender as diversificadas demandas deste seguimento etário. Cuidar do idoso como uma pessoa integral e não apenas como um organismo biológico, protegendo-o e integrando-o dentro do contexto psicossocial do momento, deve ser o maior objetivo dos profissionais da saúde. Devemos estar tão preparados para lidar com especificidades do processo de envelhecimento quanto para tratar seus distúrbios. Há profunda inter-relação entre a qualidade de vida percebida e a saúde física e mental. Esta reflexão analisa a importância da reabilitação preventiva na promoção da qualidade de vida do idoso e de seus familiares conduzindo à conseqüente prevenção e postergação da manifestação de sintomas e de doenças crônicas. Palavras-chave: Envelhecimento. Reabilitação. Ensino. Abstract: The progressive populational growth in Brazil has caused, in the social-demographical scope mainly, much worry to the health systems, wich are not prepared to attend the different demands of this age segment. Caring for the elderly people as an integral person and not only as a biological organism, protecting them and integrating them into the psychosocial context of the moment should be the main objective of the health field professionals. We must be as well prepared to deal with the specificities of the aging process as to treat their disturbances. There is a deep inter-relation between the perceived quality of life and the mental and physical health. This reflexion analyzes the importance of the preventive rehabilitation in the elderly’s and their family’s life quality promotion, leading to the consequent prevention and postponement of the symptoms and chronical diceases manifestation. Keywords: Elderly. Rehabilitation. Teaching.
