Abstract: Relationship between sociodemographic, pathogenic and salutogenic variables and the quality of life of Colombian university students. Several studies have analyzed the quality of life related to health, but few in healthy population, ignoring its predictive variables. The objective of this research was to evaluate the relationship between sociodemographic, pathogenic and salutogenic variables, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Five hundred and three university students of 17 Colombian universities participated in the study. Several instruments related to the study variables were applied. The results showed: (1) High scores in HRQOL, anxiety, perceived stress, resilience and optimism, and low scores in depression; (2) inverse relationship between HRQOL and anxiety, depression and perceived stress; (3) inverse relationship between vitality and depression and perceived stress; (4) optimism showed a direct relationship to the mental component of quality of life; (5) higher scores for men in HRQOL and resilience, and for anxiety in women; and (6) the mental health component in men is explained by perceived stress and depression, whereas in women it is explained by perceived stress, depression, anxiety and the current semester. In conclusion, HRQOL scoring is mainly associated with pathogenic variables.Resumen: Varios estudios han analizado la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud, pero pocos en población sana, desconociendo sus variables predictoras. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la relación entre variables sociodemográficas, patogénicas y salutogénicas con la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS). Participaron 503 universitarios de 17 universidades colombianas a los que se les aplicó diversos instrumentos relacionados con las variables de estudio. Los resultados mostraron: (1) Altas puntuaciones en CVRS, ansiedad, estrés percibido, resiliencia y optimismo, y bajos niveles de depresión; (2) relaciones inversas entre ansiedad, depresión y estrés percibido con CVRS; (3) relaciones inversas entre depresión y estrés percibido con vitalidad; (4) el optimismo mostró una relación directa con el componente mental de calidad de vida; (5) mayores puntuaciones para hombres en CVRS y resiliencia, y para ansiedad en mujeres y (6) el componente de salud mental en hombres, lo explica el estrés percibido y la depresión, mientras que en mujeres lo explica el estrés percibido, depresión, ansiedad y semestre en curso. Puede indicarse que las puntuaciones en CVRS están asociadas principalmente a variables patogénicas.

The objective is to identify the predictive variables that contribute to the improvement of the quality of life and a safe environment through actions to promote Sustainable Development. The study is non-experimental with a quantitative approach. The population 86,076 students of public and private universities of the State of Coahuila, a sample of 305 cases for the present study. The instrument was a questionnaire made up of 291 items, of which 40, 39 independent variables were considered that refer to actions that contribute to sustainable development and a dependent variable related to the quality of life and the safe environment. A multiple regression analysis was carried out, which shows that university students consider actions such as caring for nature, social equity, saving water and strengthening the identity of communities that are predictors of a safe environment for quality of life. The contribution of the study is about the perspective of university students and the proposed actions to improve their quality of life, a safe environment and sustainable Development.

Objetivo: realizar busca de publicações científicas nas bases de dados sobre a qualidade de vida e o bem-estar do estudante universitário de enfermagem; descrever e analisar as perspectivas enfocadas na literatura. Metodologia: Revisão Integrativa da Literatura. Foram selecionados vinte e três estudos publicados entre 2010 e 2014, nas bases de dados Literatura Latino Americana e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval Sistem on-line e o Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol. Resultados: Observou-se que a qualidade de vida e o bem-estar encontram-se moderadamente bem na avaliação dos estudantes de enfermagem avaliados nos estudos, e que apesar dos estressores decorrentes do curso, os estudantes resolvem as situações estressantes com algumas técnicas de relaxamento e enfrentamento, mas também recorrendo ao uso de álcool e fumo. Os instrumentos utilizados nos estudos: WHOQOL-BREF, Inventário de Depressão de Beck e a Escala de Estresse Percebido. Conclusão: identificadas depressão, insônia, estresse e cansaço, decorrentes da vida acadêmica. Desse modo, importante às instituições e docentes estarem atentos para reconhecer precocemente os indicativos multidimensionais que afetam a qualidade de vida e o bem-estar dos seus estudantes, e implementar medidas preventivas.

Aim Despite advances of outcomes of esophageal atresia (EA), knowledge on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is sparse. Due to the heterogeneity of EA, larger cohorts need to be investigated to ensure reliability of data. Aim was to determine generic HRQoL after EA repair in a Swedish–German cohort. Patients and Methods Ethical approval was obtained. A total of 192 patients (2–18 years; 134 Swedish; 58 German) were included. Clinical data were reviewed. EA was classified in “severe” and “mild/moderate.” Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Generic Core Scale (PedsQL 4.0) was used in appropriate versions (2–7 years; 8–18 years; self- [SR] and proxy report [PR]) to determine generic HRQoL. Results Swedish and German samples were clinically and demographically comparable. HRQoL was lower in “severe EA” versus “mild/moderate” (2–18 years; total score; PR 85.6 vs. 73.6; p < 0.001) and Gross A versus Gross C type EA (2–7 years; total score; PR 61.0 vs. 79.3; p = 0.035). Total HRQoL was higher in the Swedish versus German sample (2–18 years; total score; PR 82.3 vs. 72.7; p = 0.002). HRQoL was impaired in the German sample versus healthy population (2–18 years; total score; PR 72.7 vs. 82.7; p = 0.001). In German patients (8–18 years), HRQoL was higher in SR versus PR (80.7 vs. 74.7; p = 0.044). Patients' age and presence of VACTERL association or isolated anorectal malformations did not affect HRQoL. Various differences were detected regarding different dimensions of PedsQL 4.0. Conclusion In this first international study, we found several differences in perception of generic HRQoL. HRQoL appears to be determined by the type of EA and severity rather than patients' age or the presence of typical associated malformations. Country-specific differences may be culturally dependent, but further investigations are suggested. A condition-specific instrument validated for EA may provide additional insights.
