Introduction: Violence against Women (VAW) has been produced under the hierarchical organization of male dominance in social relations between genders. It is a type of social relationship that is historically bounded, culturally legitimized and cultivated, in which the woman is exposed to objective and subjective aggression, both in public as well as private sectors. The consequences of the violence suffered by women materialize in biological, psychological and social harms that hamper them fully experiencing human and social equalities. The persistence and the multiplicity of forms of expressing violence against women, throughout history, indicate the importance of the theme and the need to investigate how this practice interferes with the process of living, illness and death of the victim. Objective: To analyse the cycle of domestic violence against women. Methods: This is a population-based survey, and cross-sectional, exploratory and descriptive study, using a quantitative approach. The study was conducted in the city of Joao Pessoa-PB, from August 2013 to December 2015. The population consisted of 424 women over 18 years old, and residing in the city of study. For data collection, two instruments were used: the WHO VAW STUDY and the WHOQOL BREF scale, validated for assessing quality of life. A descriptive analysis was performed, from absolute and relative frequencies for the following variables: sociodemographic; Domestic Violence against Women (DVAW) and QOL, in addition to the average for continuous variables; under CAAE number 20418813.0.0000.5183. Results: The women averaged an overall score of 61.59 for the quality of life index, on a scale from 0 to 100. Regarding scores for each domain, the domain of social relations had the highest average among the domains (69.84), whereas the environment domain had the lowest average (51.03). Conclusions: Domestic Violence against Women directly and adversely affects the quality of life of the victimized women in numerous aspects, because it interferes with the physical and psychological health of women in society and in their social relations, also bringing consequences for the health system.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the association between domestic violence against women and quality of life. Method: a cross-sectional population-based household survey conducted with women 18 years and older, using a stratified sample by neighborhoods. For analysis, prevalence of domestic violence and quality of life index was verified and logistic regression was used to determine associations, with a significance level of 5%. Results: 424 women who had a prevalence of domestic violence of 54.4% and a quality of life index of 61.59 participated in this study. It was verified, through logistic regression, that domestic violence is associated with women's quality of life (p=0,017). The observed variables that influence the occurrence of domestic violence were in the social relations domain (p=0,000), provision of medical treatment for women (p=0,019) and safety (p=0,006). Conclusion: the study confirmed the evidence of an association between domestic violence against women and quality of life, a situation that reaffirms the importance of constructing public policies focused on gender emancipation.

AIM: This study aims to assess the life quality of a group of elderly people linked to a health plan in the city of São Paulo and to verify which variables affect this construct. METHODS: This is an exploratory cross-sectional study carried out in 2017 with a group of elderly people over 60 years of age and without cognitive deficits, linked to a health plan operator, all residents of the city of São Paulo, SP. The WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-Old self-filled questionnaires were applied and the elderly participants also answered questionnaires relating to sociodemographic, morbidities and the usage of services developed by the researchers.  RESULTS: The research group evaluates their quality of life as good and is satisfied with their health, but some points stand out. For said group, living by themselves, having cardiocirculatory diseases or having more than one chronic disease influenced negatively their quality of life, whereas being in a stable unionship and having access to consultations with intervals below six months interfered positively. It was observed that the group was concerned about issues related to independence, communication capacity, social life, and death. The environment and intimacy were shown as highlights for this group. CONCLUSIONS: It was verified in this group of elderly people that the best quality of life performance was obtained in the Environment and Social Relations domains and in the Intimacy and Past, Present and Future aspects. In addition, sociodemographic, morbidity and health service use variables significantly affected this construct. The characteristics of the research group do not allow us to generalize the findings, but it is hoped to have contributed with the look on a group as diverse as the Brazilian elderly.

Abstract Objective The objective of the study was to analyse and compare the subjective quality of life (S-QoL) of women with physical disabilities (PDs) through satisfaction with the quality of life domains and the overall quality of life assessment. Methods The sample comprised of women with PDs (n=137), divided into 4 age categories: 19-29 yrs. (n=53); 30-44 yrs. (n=25); 45-59 yrs. (n=24) and over 60 yrs. (n=35). The Subjective Quality of Life Analyses questionnaire and the WHO User Manual were used as a primary research method. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used to assess the differences between QoLDs, Kruskal Wallis test to assess differences in S-QoL among four independent groups and Mann Whitney U-test between two age categories. Results The highest satisfaction in all age categories of women was found in the social relations domain, and in the 19-29 yr-old women equally in the social relations and physical health domains. The highest dissatisfaction was reported with the psychological health and environment domains. The key finding is that the main differences are between the youngest category (aged 19-29 yrs) and the three older categories with regard to physical health, environment and overall QoL. Conclusions It is necessary to continue this line of research with a greater focus on exploring the ways in which the psychological health domain can be improved as an integral part of S-QoL, and to also focus on the QoL indicators that make up the environment domain and search for ways to enhance these.

Abstract Depression is a disease of great social and medical importance. Quality of life can correlate with severity of manifested depression. The aim of our study was to determine whether people with unipolar depression have a poorer quality of life than healthy individuals, in what areas they have poorer quality of life and how socio-demographic characteristics and different therapies impact quality of life. The survey was conducted among 110 subjects, of which 55 were patients diagnosed with depression using ICD-10 criteria at the Psychiatric Clinic in Kragujevac and 55 were healthy subjects. Quality of life was evaluated by The Quality of Life Questionnaire compiled by the WHO. Quality of life was compared between the two groups and within research groups, depending on the applied therapy. There were statistically significant differences in quality of life between the groups: physical health - 49.64 versus 70.84, p=0.000; psychological health - 38.69 versus 69.85, p=0.000; social relations - 53.73 versus 64.89, p=0.004; living conditions - 54.58 versus 66.7, p=0.000, and in overall quality of life - 75.41 versus 96.00, p=0.000. The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference in quality of life between applied therapies. The overall quality of life of depressed patients did not depend on marital status or gender of the respondents. Depressed patients generally have a low quality of life in all domains and in overall quality of life. To improve of mental health, oOne of the primary goals to improve mental health should be to improve quality of life among depressed patients.
