The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about great changes to the everyday lives of the population in Germany. Social distancing, working from home and other measures to contain the pandemic are essentially dominating everyday life. With data from the CORONA HEALTH App study we analysed the quality of life of the adult population in Germany during the COVID-19 pandemic and identified possible risk factors for a poor quality of life. In the app-based survey carried out between July and December 2020, 1,396 respondents (women 46.5%, men 52.7%, diverse 0.9%; mean age (mean) 42.0 years (standard deviation=13.4)) provided information on their quality of life using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). Univariate and multivariate regression was used to examine differences in quality of life between different groups of people during the COVID-19 pandemic and their associations with selected predictors. In summary, women, younger persons and job seekers or those who saw their work hours reduced or who could not pursue their regular jobs presented a lower quality of life in individual areas of life than the respective reference group. On the other hand, a setting that combines working from home and at the regular workplace, as well as living together with other people, showed partly positive associations with quality of life. The results have implications for public health interventions as they highlight groups requiring closer attention and sufficient support services.
新冠疫情给德国民众的日常生活带来了巨大变化。社交距离、居家办公以及其他防控疫情的措施基本上主导着日常生活。我们利用“新冠健康应用程序”研究的数据，分析了新冠疫情期间德国成年人口的生活质量，并确定了生活质量不佳的可能风险因素。在2020年7月至12月进行的基于该应用程序的调查中，1396名受访者（女性占46.5%，男性占52.7%，其他占0.9%；平均年龄42.0岁（标准差 = 13.4））使用世界卫生组织生活质量问卷（WHOQOL - BREF）提供了有关其生活质量的信息。采用单变量和多变量回归分析，研究新冠疫情期间不同人群的生活质量差异及其与选定预测因素的关联。总体而言，与各自的参照组相比，女性、年轻人以及求职者或那些工作时长减少或无法从事正常工作的人在生活的各个方面呈现出较低的生活质量。另一方面，将居家办公和在常规工作场所办公相结合的工作模式，以及与他人同住的情况，在一定程度上与生活质量呈正相关。这些结果对公共卫生干预具有启示意义，因为它们突出了需要密切关注和充分支持服务的群体。
