| Popis: | Children are an important part of any society. During the educational process, it is useful for them to enjoy a life of good quality in order to participate in the development of their community. Objective: This study aims to determine the quality of life of secondary school students in Dangbo in south-eastern Benin. Method: A total of 318 adolescent students (157 girls, 161 boys) from the 6th, 5th and 4th grade classes were selected according to the non-random method and the convenience technique answered a questionnaire that takes into account the five basic human needs: food, shelter, clothing, health and education. Results: A total of 159 (50.0%), 227 (71.4%), 318 (100.0%), 311 (97.8%) pupils met the criteria of good levels of educational conditions, housing, food and clothing respectively. Only one student, or 0.3% of the respondents, met the criteria for good levels of health conditions. The good quality of life resulting from the good living conditions was observed in only 122/318 or 38.4% of the students surveyed. Conclusions: Since health is the weak link in the quality of life of these students, an epidemiological diagnosis is necessary to identify the modalities of effective management. |
