An analysis of the literature on the quality of life and tools for its measurement revealed a gap in the field of research tools to study the quality of life of the so-called young adults. According to the theory of emerging adulthood, people aged 18–25 significantly differ from people of other age groups, including their self-perception. The aim of this article is to present the process of creating an inventory for multidimensional research on students’ quality of life, its structural and theoretical validity as well as reliability of the tool. Structural validity of Multidimensional Inventory of Students Quality of Life (MIS-QOL) is measured by three different indicators. Comparative fit index (CFI), PCLOSE and the root mean square error (RMSEA) show good or very good structural validity of every dimension and general score. Additionally, theoretical validity of general score measured as a correlation with commonly used questionnaires show correlation on level of 0.52 with somatic subscale of WHO, 0.631 with environmental subscale of WHO, 0.657 with Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), 0.703 with psychological subscale of WHO, and 0.786 with Quality of Life Scale (QOLS). Reliability of each dimension and general score measured by Cronbach alfa and split-half coefficients are above 0.7. The multidimensional construction of MIS-QOL allows researchers to compare acquired data with international research conducted by Eurostat or the OECD.

Introduction. In the last decades psychiatric patients? quality of life attracts great attention of researchers. Improving the quality of life of schizophrenic patients is increasingly becoming an imperative in pharmacological therapy. Objective. Analysis of certain aspects of quality of life in patients with schizophrenia treated with depot formulations of a typical antipsychotic (haloperidol) and injection preparation of a long-acting atypical antipsychotic (risperidone). Methods. Research was conducted as a cross-sectional study that included 60 patients of both genders. Examinees diagnosed with schizophrenia (ICD-10, F20.0-F20.9) were divided into two groups: the group of patients that received haloperidol depot (n=30) and the group of patients that received injection preparation of long-acting risperidone (n=30). In order to assess the quality of life, social functioning scale (SFS), satisfaction with life scale (SWLS), and short version of World Health Organization quality of life scale (WHO-QoL-Brief) were applied. Results. Results showed statistically significant differences when it comes to social activity and satisfaction with life in favour of patients treated with injection preparation of long-acting risperidone. Examinees from this group were much more satisfied with themselves, their health and sleep compared to those on haloperidol depot. There was no statistically significant difference found on the quality of life scale. Conclusions. Applying the scales for the assessment of the quality of life of schizophrenic patients in terms of psychosocial functioning, statistically significant difference between groups was found. Results showed higher scores in the group of patients treated with injection preparation of long-acting risperidone concerning social activities and life satisfaction.

AbstractThe term quality of life (QOL) generally refers to the overall evaluation of an individual's life condition, on both objective and subjective dimensions. Quality of life research has focused on global evaluations of life satisfaction in adults. The life quality of adolescents and the performance of central life domains have largely been ignored. This study describes the psychometric properties of the Comprehensive Quality of Life Scale (ComQol) with an adolescent sample. In line with recent conceptualisations of QOL, ComQol assesses subjective and objective QOL on seven life domains. ComQol was administered along with two other self-report instruments (measuring fear and anxiety) to a sample of 264 school-based adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years. The scale yielded life satisfaction data that lay within the normative range for adults. Test-retest reliability and internal consistency analyses indicated that the scale has adequate reliability. In support of convergent validity, fear and anxiety were generally found to be significantly associated with lower levels of life quality. The present study supports the psychometric adequacy of ComQol as an instrument to measure the life quality of adolescents.
