This study analysed self-assessed quality of life (QoL), using a QoL questionnaire (Hörnquist's QLcs) covering the life spheres, somatic health, mental well-being, cognitive ability, social and family life, activity, financial situation, meaning in life and a global score "entire life", in 487 unemployed subjects and 2917 employed subjects aged 25-64, in a population-based cross-sectional study in northern Sweden. In line with previous findings, results showed that unemployed people exhibited poorer QoL. Unemployed women scored higher in existential life domains than unemployed men did. Unemployed men were worst off in terms of general life situation. Employed respondents benefited in QoL by a university/college education, while unemployed respondents with a university/college education did not. Close social relations and money reserve were associated with higher QoL generally. It was concluded that further research is needed to differentiate various aspects of QoL and unemployment, and to compare with other samples.
在瑞典北部一项基于人群的横断面研究中，本研究使用涵盖生活领域、躯体健康、心理健康、认知能力、社会和家庭生活、活动、财务状况、生活意义及“整个人生”总体评分的生活质量问卷（赫恩奎斯特生活质量量表），分析了487名年龄在25至64岁的失业者和2917名就业者的自我评估生活质量。与之前的研究结果一致，结果显示失业者的生活质量较差。失业女性在生存生活领域的得分高于失业男性。就总体生活状况而言，失业男性的情况最差。受过大学教育的就业受访者在生活质量方面受益，而受过大学教育的失业受访者则不然。亲密的社会关系和资金储备总体上与较高的生活质量相关。研究得出结论，需要进一步开展研究，以区分生活质量和失业的各个方面，并与其他样本进行比较。
