The aim of this study was to examine the possible differences in self-reported quality of life of people with physical disabilities with regard to both socio-demographic and disability-related characteristics. Testing was conducted on 153 respondents with physical disabilities, residents of the City of Zagreb. Positive correlations were found between the quality of life and income satisfaction, residence size (per capita floor area) and level of residence equipment. Multivariate analysis of variance showed statistically significant differences in quality of life among respondents with regard to the marital status, work status and home ownership. Statistically significant differences in the quality of life were found among the participants depending on their level of physical mobility and type of physical disability. The level of physical mobility is associated with general satisfaction with the accomplishment of goals, aspirations and hopes. The type of physical disability is related to the satisfaction with leisure activities, with the material status, expectations to achieve in the future what has not formerly been achieved. There was also a significant relation between the type of physical disability and general satisfaction with life in the past year. Positive correlations between duration of disability and quality of life were found. Membership in associations of persons with physical disability and related benefits were shown to contribute to the quality of life.
本研究的目的是探讨身体残疾者在社会人口统计学和与残疾相关特征方面自我报告的生活质量可能存在的差异。对萨格勒布市的153名身体残疾居民进行了测试。发现生活质量与收入满意度、居住面积（人均建筑面积）和居住设施水平之间存在正相关。多变量方差分析显示，在婚姻状况、工作状况和住房所有权方面，受访者的生活质量存在统计学上的显著差异。根据身体活动能力水平和身体残疾类型，参与者的生活质量存在统计学上的显著差异。身体活动能力水平与对目标、抱负和希望实现情况的总体满意度相关。身体残疾类型与对休闲活动的满意度、物质状况、对未来实现以前未实现之事的期望有关。身体残疾类型与过去一年的总体生活满意度之间也存在显著关系。发现残疾持续时间与生活质量之间存在正相关。身体残疾者协会成员身份及相关福利被证明有助于提高生活质量。
