Aim: The aim of the study is to report the quality of life and life satisfaction of karate-do trainers during the covid-19 epidemic and public health restrictions, and to examine the relationships between trainers' quality of life and life satisfaction while the restrictions persist. Methods: During public health restrictions, Karate Do trainers were recruited through an online survey and social media posting of demographics, quality of life, and life satisfaction sections. The World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF) and the 7-point Likert-type Life Satisfaction Scale developed by Diener et al. (1985) and validated in Turkish by Bekmezci and Mert (2018) were used. IBM SPSS 22 package was used for data analysis. Independent Sample T test, One way Anova Test and Pearson Correlation Test were used with the program. The significance level of all evaluations was taken into account as p<0.05. Results: In the findings obtained in the study, no significant difference was found between the participants' gender, age, educational status, residence and coaching time, and life satisfaction in the sub-dimensions of quality of life. A significant difference was found between the monthly income levels of the participants and the sub-dimensions of the quality of life, namely the psychological field and the environmental field and life satisfaction. During the pandemic period, significant differences were observed in the levels of paying attention to mask-distance-hygiene rules and in all sub-dimensions of quality of life. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was observed that as the quality of life of karate do trainers increased, life satisfaction at the mid-low level increased positively. Conclusion: No significant difference was found between the variables of gender, age, education level, residence and duration of coaching of karate do trainers and quality of life and life satisfaction. It was observed that there was a significant difference between the monthly income of the trainers and the sub-dimensions of the quality of life, namely psychological domain, environmental domain and life satisfaction. As karate do trainers pay attention to hygiene rules in every period, significant differences were observed between the level of attention to mask-distance-hygiene rules and all sub-dimensions of quality of life during the pandemic period. From this point of view, it can be said that Karate Do trainers pay attention to hygiene rules, especially during the pandemic period. In our study, it was observed that as the quality of life of Karate Do trainers increased, their life satisfaction also increased moderately positively. It is predicted that this ratio will increase even more with the new regulations to be made on the living standards and personal rights of Karate Do trainers.

Background:The impact of stroke on the quality of life of stroke caregivers is often given lower priority in its management, regardless of the consequences of caregiving and its economic benefits to the patient and community at large. Currently there is paucity of research data on quality of life among caregivers of stroke survivors in Ghana.Objective: To investigate the quality of life (QoL) among caregivers of stroke survivors.Methods:Fifty stroke survivors and their caregivers attending physiotherapy at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Accra and fifty non-caregivers were purposively recruited for this cross-sectional study. World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQoL)-Bref was used to obtain information regarding the QoL of the caregivers and non-caregivers. The level of functional independence of the stroke survivors was assessed with Barthel Index. Independent t-test and unpaired t-test were used to analyse the data obtained.Results:The mean age of the caregivers, stroke survivors and the non-caregivers were 41.6±14.2, 59.5±10.9, and 41.5±14.8 respectively. Out of the 50 caregivers, 31(62%) were females. The overall QoL of the caregivers and non-caregivers were 54.5±10.3 and 59.3±9.8 respectively. There was significant difference in the physical health between caregivers and non-caregivers. Conclusion: Caregivers of stroke survivors in Accra have reduced QoL. The level of functional independence of the stroke survivor, age and educational status of the caregiver can influence caregivers’ QoL.

IntroductionStudies have found that the cognitive function levels of intellectually challenged children add a burden to the family and affect quality of life.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the family burden felt by mothers of children, ages 6–16, whose mental capacity evaluation indicates an IQ of 35–79 to explore the mother's quality of life and discover the factors that yield an impact in this context.AimsThe main objective of this study therefore was to ascertain the family burden and quality of life experienced by the parents of children with mentally retarded or borderline mental capacity.MethodsThe WISC-R test was used in the research to determine the intellectual capacity of children, 6–16 years of age. The sample comprised 131 children and adolescents between the ages 6–16 with IQs in the interval of 35–79 and their mothers. The parents accompanying their children were assessed using the Family Burden Assessment Scale, the World Health Organization Quality of Life instrument and a sociodemographic questionnaire that was filled out during face-to-face interviews.ResultsThe quality of life of the mothers was found to be average. At the same time, as the IQ level of the children went up, the less the mothers felt they were under a family burden. It was seen that the mothers experienced the most difficulty in the domains of “perception of inadequacy” and “emotional burden.”ConclusionMothers with intellectually disabled children need psychosocial support. Providing all members of the family with counseling services to help them cope with the issues and responsibilities involved in the care of disabled children may make a significant difference in quality of life.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a significant public health problem due to its impact on the quality of life. The aim of the study was to determine the presentation of depression in different age group and quality of life among the respondents. This was a descriptive cross sectional study conducted from May, 2012 to February, 2013 among 65 patients aged 18 to 65 years with major depressive disorder in both outpatient and inpatient departments of National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Dhaka by using convenient sampling technique. Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders- Text version (DSM-IV-TR), Beck Depression Inventory and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale, Brief version (WHOQOL-BREF) were used to diagnose depressive disorder, to measure severity of depressive illness and Quality of Life (QOL) respectively. Level of depression was compared with the QOL. Quality of life deteriorated in patients with depression. Presence and level of depression was compared in different age groups of depressed patients. The results showed that most of the depressed people (17) were found in the age group of 21-25 years and most of the patients were severely depressed which was thirty nine (39). The study revealed that young people were mostly depressed and their quality of life was decreasing. lt needs further study to explore more information about pattern of presentation of depression and its effect on the quality of life.Bang J Psychiatry Dec 2014; 28(2): 58-61

University students are exposed to many stressors, necessitating opportunities for restoration. Research has indicated that actual experiences in nearby green spaces are associated with restorative psychological and physiological health benefits. However, the perception of greenness and restorativeness of environments might also impact health outcomes. Can green campus spaces provide restorative potential to university students? Do students perceive the greenness and restorative benefits? To explore these questions, students at three universities (convenience sample) were surveyed with items on perceived greenness of campus, perceived restorativeness of campus, and the World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Scale. Results indicate that those with higher perceived campus greenness report greater quality of life, a pathway significantly and partially mediated by perceived campus restorativeness. Future research should help identify effective ways in which university green spaces can be developed as health resources for students.
