This article presents empirical evidence on the quality of life (QoL) of Sub-Saharan African (SSA) migrants in Germany, exploring its association with subjective integration and the influence of some socio-economic and sociodemographic characteristics.
This is a cross-sectional study design using quantitative data from 518 SSA migrants collected across the 16 federal states of Germany, and these data were analysed in this study.
Association between participants' QoL, measured by the four domains of the Bref version of the World Health Organisation QoL measure, subjective integration and sociodemographic characteristics were evaluated using Pearson product-moment correlations. Stepwise multiple linear regressions were performed to explore the contribution of predictor variables on the QoL domain.
Participants' age averaged 32.5 years (standard deviation [SD] 7.93). The sample reported a low QoL score with a mean score of 64.3 (SD 14.4, range 70.2). Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that subjective integration, age, education and gender had significant associations and explained up to 27% of the variance in the QoL domain scores.
The findings of this study support the conclusion that subjective integration positively and significantly associates with the physical health, psychological health, social relationships and environmental domains of SSA migrants' QoL in Germany.
本文提供了关于在德撒哈拉以南非洲（SSA）移民生活质量（QoL）的实证证据，探讨了其与主观融合的关系以及一些社会经济和社会人口特征的影响。
这是一项使用来自德国 16 个联邦州的 518 名 SSA 移民的定量数据进行的横断面研究设计，本研究对这些数据进行了分析。
使用世界卫生组织生活质量量表 Bref 版的四个领域评估参与者的 QoL、主观融合与社会人口特征之间的关联，采用皮尔逊积矩相关分析。采用逐步多元线性回归探索预测变量对 QoL 领域的贡献。
参与者的平均年龄为 32.5 岁（标准差 [SD] 7.93）。该样本报告的 QoL 评分较低，平均得分为 64.3（SD 14.4，范围 70.2）。多元线性回归分析显示，主观融合、年龄、教育程度和性别与 QoL 领域得分有显著关联，可解释 QoL 领域得分变异的 27%。
本研究的结果支持以下结论：主观融合与德国 SSA 移民的身体健康、心理健康、社会关系和环境领域的 QoL 呈正相关且显著相关。
