Abstract
Objective. To assess the quality of life of refugee women.
Material and methods. 149 refugee women, who are close relatives in three generations, were examined and divided into 3 groups depending on their age: Group I – 51 women aged 18–35 years, group II – 61 women aged 36–54 and group III – 34 women aged 55 and over. The quality of life was assessed in two main ways: by self-assessment (subjective method) and by doctors (objective approach). The studies regarding the quality of life were carried out in accordance with the general principles of sociological research. The assessment was realized in points for each criterion. The maximum scale corresponds to 100 points. Along with this program, the international standardized questionnaire SF-36 was used in addition.
Results. The data we obtained in the course of the study, first of all indicate the importance of the life priorities of the subjects examined and must be taken into account when planning measures to improve the quality of health.
Conclusions. Comparative analysis of health-related quality of life indicators showed that among women parameters of physical functioning significantly decrease with age, regardless of the hierarchy of life priorities. Psychological components increase in middle-aged women with the life priority “work”.
