Quality of life of people with disabilities: Differences insatisfaction with indicators and domains between active andinactive individuals
Quality of life (QoL) is strongly influenced by an individual’s health. The lack of population studiesmeasuring the QoL of people with physical disabilities (PD) and people who are deaf and hard of hearing(D/HH) encouraged us to consider conducting this research.

| description | Quality of life (QoL) is strongly influenced by an individual’s health. The lack of population studiesmeasuring the QoL of people with physical disabilities (PD) and people who are deaf and hard of hearing(D/HH) encouraged us to consider conducting this research. The aim of this study was to compare thesatisfaction with quality of life indicators (QoLI) and domains (QoLD) between people with PD andpeople who are D/HH. This study included 315 individuals with disabilities, concretely with PD andhearing impairments. Participants were divided into two groups based on participation in physicalactivities: active (people with PD, n=73; people who are D/HH, n=52) and inactive (people with PD,n=77; people who are D/HH, n=113). The second part of Subjective Quality of Life Analysis(S.QUA.L.A.) between active and inactive members with disabilities was used. The Pearson chi-squaretest was used to determine the differences in satisfaction with 23 QoLI and 5 QoLD (general health,physical health and level of independence, psychological health and spirituality, social relationships andenvironment) between the two groups (active and inactive) within each population with disabilities. Wefound significant differences between active and inactive people with PD only in 3 from 23 QoLI andonly in one from 5 QoLD. On the other hand active people who are D/HH presented significant highersatisfaction with 11 QoLI and with 4 QoLD as well as significant higher level of overall QoL (p<.05)comparing inactive individuals with the same disability. This evaluation of the satisfaction with QoLIand QoLD by S.QUA.L.A. shows that it is a suitable tool to asses QoL in the population with differentkinds of disabilities. The results of our study confirmed that regular participation in sport increasesQoL, especially in people who are D/HH. |
