The aim of the study was to describe the quality of life of Polish adolescents living in a big city and to investigate whether there are differences in this respect between girls and boys. Moreover, we would like to compare the results concerning the quality of life of the screened adolescents from Krakow with those of their European peers.
The survey was carried out in 2013-2015 in 17 middle schools in Krakow based on anonymous auditorium questionnaires. The analysis included the responses of 1387 pupils - 686 girls and 701 boys. In order to assess the quality of life, the Polish version of the international KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire was used. Five dimensions of the quality of life (Qol) were analyzed. The specific dimensions of Qol were analyzed using 0-100 point scales, as well as T-scores standardized for the European population.
The mean values for five dimensions of quality of life assessed by the KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire ranged from 54 pts. to 65 pts. (maximum score 100 pts.). However, the results for the Polish adolescents were lower when compared to their European peers. The greatest differences in the level of Qol between Polish adolescents and their European peers involved the following dimensions: Psychological Well-being and School Environment. On average, girls scored their Qol lower than boys in three out of five dimensions (Physical Well-being, Psychological Well-being, Autonomy & Parents; p<0.001). Additionally, using the norm data for the Polish population (sex and age specific), more girls than boys were classified as having low Qol regarding the School Environment (23.5%vs 14.8%; p<0.001).
Polish adolescents scored their Qol lower than their European peers. The quality of life for girls was significantly lower than of boys, except for the relation with their friends and peers (Social Support & Peers).
本研究旨在描述生活在大城市的波兰青少年的生活质量,并调查在这方面女孩和男孩之间是否存在差异。此外,我们希望将来自克拉科夫的被筛查青少年的生活质量结果与其欧洲同龄人进行比较。
2013 - 2015年在克拉科夫的17所中学基于匿名礼堂问卷进行了调查。分析包括1387名学生的回答——686名女孩和701名男孩。为了评估生活质量,使用了国际儿童生活质量量表(KIDSCREEN - 27)的波兰语版本。分析了生活质量(Qol)的五个维度。使用0 - 100分制以及针对欧洲人群标准化的T分数对生活质量的具体维度进行了分析。
通过KIDSCREEN - 27问卷评估的生活质量五个维度的平均值在54分至65分之间(满分100分)。然而,与欧洲同龄人相比,波兰青少年的结果较低。波兰青少年与其欧洲同龄人在生活质量水平上的最大差异涉及以下维度:心理健康和学校环境。平均而言,在五个维度中的三个维度(身体健康、心理健康、自主性与父母;p<0.001)中,女孩的生活质量得分低于男孩。此外,根据波兰人群的标准数据(按性别和年龄划分),在学校环境方面,被归类为生活质量低的女孩比男孩更多(23.5%对14.8%;p<0.001)。
波兰青少年的生活质量得分低于其欧洲同龄人。除了与朋友和同龄人(社会支持与同龄人)的关系外,女孩的生活质量明显低于男孩。
