Popis: Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je utvrditi kako roditelji procjenjuju sadašnju kvalitetu života povezanu sa zdravljem svoje zdrave djece i adolescenata. Ukupno je 278 roditelja zdrave djece (srednja dob 10,79±1,03 godina) i adolescenata (srednja dob 14,15±1,01 godina) pozvano da sudjeluju u istraživanju. Svi sudionici izabrani su iz dvije javne škole u gradu Ternopilu, Ukrajina. Naknadno je 148 sudionika isključeno iz studije zbog nepotpunih podataka u upitniku Child Health Questionnaire Parent Form-50 (CHQ-PF50). Tako je istraživanje obuhvatilo 130 roditelja zdrave djece (n=55) i zdravih adolescenata (n=75). Rezultati studije pokazali su kako nema razlike u sumarnom zbiru za fizičko zdravlje i sumarnom zbiru za psihosocijalno zdravlje između djece i adolescenata, dok je usporedba ovih sumarnih rezultata pokazala značajno lošije psihosocijalno zdravlje u odnosu na fizičko zdravlje u svim skupinama pedijatrijskih ispitanika (t=9,19; p=0,000000). Također smo utvrdili izravnu korelaciju sumarnog zbira za fizičko zdravlje i sumarnog zbira za psihosocijalno zdravlje (r=0,45; p=0,000000). Roditelji zdravih adolescenata pridali su niži zbir na upitniku CHQ-PF50 za domene globalnog ponašanja i emocionalnog utjecaja na roditelje. Kvaliteta života kod zdravih djevojčica bila je udružena sa smanjenom domenom globalnog zdravlja u usporedbi sa zdravim dječacima. Za razliku od djevojčica, dječaci su bili obilježeni nižim zbirom na upitniku CHQ-PF50 za domene ponašanja, ograničenja u obiteljskim aktivnostima i obiteljske kohezije. Prema izvješćima roditelja sumarni zbir za fizičko zdravlje i sumarni zbir za psihosocijalno zdravlje nisu se razlikovali između djece i adolescenata. Psihosocijalno zdravlje djece i adolescenata bilo je lošije od njihova fizičkog zdravlja.
The purpose of the study was to evaluate current health-related quality of life of healthy children and adolescents by parent proxy assessment. A total of 278 parents of healthy children (mean age 10.79±1.03 years) and adolescents (mean age 14.15±1.01 years) were invited to participate in the survey. All participants were recruited from two public schools of Ternopil city, Ukraine. Subsequently, 148 participants were excluded from the study due to incomplete data on the Child Health Questionnaire Parent Form-50 (CHQ-PF50). Therefore, the study included 130 parents of healthy children (n=55) and adolescents (n=75). Study results revealed that there were no differences in summary score of physical health and summary score of psychosocial health between children and adolescents, while comparing these summaries showed significantly worse psychosocial health than physical health in all groups of paediatric subjects (t=9.19; p=0.000000). We also identified direct correlation between summary score of physical health and summary score of psychosocial health (r=0.45; p=0.000000). Parents of healthy adolescents attributed lower scores of the CHQ-PF50 to the domains of global behaviour and emotional impact on the parent. Quality of life in healthy girls was associated with decreased global health domain when compared with healthy boys. In contrast to girls, boys were characterised by lower scores on the CHQ-PF50 for the domains of behaviour, limitations in family activities, and family cohesion. According to the parents’ reports, the summary score of physical health and summary score of psychosocial health did not differ between children and adolescents. Psychosocial health of both children and adolescents was worse than their physical health.
