In a cross-sectional study, we measured the impact of the first three COVID-19 pandemic waves and two earthquakes, occurring during the same period in Croatia, on the quality of life (QoL) of the general adult population. An online survey consisting of sociodemographic questions, questions related to COVID-19 and earthquake stressors, the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQoL)-BREF scale, Impact of Event Scale, and Patient Health Questionnaire 4 was completed by 220 men and 898 women (mean age, 35.1 ± 12.3 years). In a series of regressions, we examined the association among five blocks of predictors and six dependent QoL variables, four domain scores, and two global scores. Both WHOQoL-BREF global and domain scores after the prolonged stress were significantly predicted by anxiety, depression, stress symptoms, and sociodemographic characteristics. COVID-19-related stressors predicted significantly physical and psychological health, social relationships, and environmental QoL, whereas earthquake-related stressors predicted health satisfaction, physical and psychological health, and environmental QoL.
在一项横断面研究中，我们测量了 COVID-19 大流行的前三个波次以及克罗地亚同期发生的两次地震对普通成年人群生活质量（QoL）的影响。一项在线调查包含了社会人口学问题、与 COVID-19 和地震应激源相关的问题、世界卫生组织生活质量（WHOQoL）-BREF 量表、事件影响量表和患者健康问卷 4，共有 220 名男性和 898 名女性（平均年龄 35.1±12.3 岁）完成了调查。在一系列回归分析中，我们检验了五个预测变量块与六个依赖 QoL 变量、四个领域评分和两个总体评分之间的关联。在长期压力下，WHOQoL-BREF 的总体和领域评分均显著受到焦虑、抑郁、压力症状和社会人口学特征的预测。与 COVID-19 相关的应激源显著预测了生理和心理健康、社会关系和环境 QoL，而与地震相关的应激源则预测了健康满意度、生理和心理健康以及环境 QoL。
