One of the problems of public administration is the need to select the best criteria for assessing the quality of life of the population. The aim of the study is to provide a critical analysis of current approaches to measuring and monitoring the quality of life of the population. The object of the study is the quality of life of the population. The subject of the research is approaches to measuring and monitoring the quality of life of the population.The article provides a comparative characteristic of the prevailing classes of measures used in economics. The advantages and disadvantages of natural, monetary, physical, power, temporal, dimensionless units of quality of life have been analysed. The main foreign and domestic approaches to such monitoring have been considered and the positions of the Russian Federation in foreign ratings of the quality of life have been indicated. Using the methods of content analysis, comparison, systems analysis, expert assessment, etc., the features of contemporary quality of life assessment tools have been highlighted. Global, subnational and national quality of life assessment methods in relation to measurement tools have been compared and a comparative analysis has been presented in a summary graph.The author’s classification of quality of life management approaches has been presented. Historical and economic analysis allows us to distinguish between the monetarist approach, the social justice approach, and the physico-economic approach. Monetary methods of managing the quality of life of the population are based on financial and economic factors and monetary measurement tools, the social justice approach is based on the study of socio-psychological factors and life satisfaction indicators, the physical and economic approach reconciles the needs of the socio-economic system with the capabilities of the natural environment and uses power units of measurement. Foreign research in recent years has been dominated by subjective (socio-psychological) measurement methods, whereas in Russian research objective measurement indicators still play a major role in monitoring quality of life.The article offers recommendations for developing an improved methodology for assessing the quality of life of the population using social time.

Distúrbios do ciclo sono/vigília são considerados um problema de saúde pública e repercutem diretamente na qualidade de vida. Assim, objetivou-se correlacionar a qualidade de vida e a sonolência diurna em estudantes de fisioterapia. Trata-se de um estudo observacional, descritivo e analítico do tipo transversal. Participaram do estudo 123 discentes do curso de Fisioterapia, sendo selecionados por meio da amostragem não probabilística por conveniência. Para a análise da qualidade de vida, foi utilizado o questionário World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment (WHOQOL-bref), e para sonolência diurna, a escala de sonolência de Epworth. Utilizaram-se os testes análise de variância (Anova um critério) com post hoc de Teste t, o teste t Student e a regressão linear múltipla, com nível alfa de significância de 5% (p≤0,05). Observou-se que o quarto ano do curso apresentou pior resultado para qualidade de vida no domínio físico e ambiente, e ao se comparar com as outras séries do curso, apenas o domínio físico foi menor. Com relação à sonolência diurna, não foi observada diferença significante entre os anos. Porém, ao realizar a correlação da qualidade de vida com a sonolência diurna, houve correlação para os alunos do primeiro e segundo. Assim, conclui-se que, para qualidade de vida, o ano mais acometido é o quarto, principalmente no domínio físico. Ademais, não houve diferença com relação à sonolência. No entanto, quando os alunos do primeiro ano apresentam melhor percepção da qualidade de vida no domínio relação social, mais sonolentos eles se percebem; e quanto melhor a percepção no domínio ambiente, menos sonolentos eles se percebem. Outrossim, nos alunos do segundo ano, quanto melhor percepção da qualidade de vida no domínio relações sociais, menos sonolentos eles estão.

AbstractCervical spine diskectomy is a commonly used procedure in degenerative disease of cervical spine surgery. However, it is difficult to assess the quality of life after this widely applied and variously modified procedure. This literature review presents cervical diskectomy results, according to various scales and measures in multidirectional surgical strategies. Using relevant databases, we tried to find the best treatment options for degenerative disk disease and the best method of quality-of-life assessment, searching for modalities that may influence the outcome.

Scrotal elephantiasis (SE) is a condition considered rare in western industrialised countries but common in filaria prone regions. If no apparent causes are found for SE, it is called idiopathic SE. Medical and conservative therapies are ineffective against idiopathic SE, and surgical intervention is mandatory to treat this disabling condition. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether surgical intervention improves quality of life among patients with idiopathic SE. Herein, we report a case of a 41-year-old man who underwent acute scrotal resection and reconstruction, secondary to haemorrhage from his idiopathic SE. The aim of this study was to describe the operative approach and assess patient satisfaction after surgical treatment. The patient had no recurrence of SE after surgical treatment at 6 months follow-up and had considerable improvements assessed by general and disease-specific quality of life questionnaires.
