“…Contrastingly, a study on middle-aged Korean adults found that binge drinking significantly lowered QOL (10). Another survey of Korean adult men demonstrated that the level of problem drinking was negatively correlated with QOL through the mediating role of depression (24). Unlike previous studies, we showed that alcohol consumption did not affect QOL.…”

“…These results align with the findings of previous studies that middle-aged adults with a negative perception of their QOL tended to have suicidal ideation (27), sleep disturbances resulted in lower QOL (28), and a lower monthly income was associated with a lower QOL in middle-aged men (16). In addition, a higher QOL was found to be associated with being economically active (22) and having good subjective health (16,23), whereas stress was identified as a factor affecting QOL (15,24), which is also consistent with the present study. Middle-aged men may experience negative emotions, such as stress or depression, due to reduced income from reduced opportu-nities for economic activity due to early retirement or dismissal due to an economic recession (5).…”

Background: Midlife is a transitional period in the lives of men, with middle-aged men experiencing various changes that may lead to an impairment of their quality of life (QOL). Middle-aged men tend to rely on alcohol to overcome stress due to various changes they undergo. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the association between alcohol consumption and QOL in middle-aged men and identify the factors affecting their QOL. Materials and Methods: This paper presents a secondary data analysis of raw data from the 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. This study was conducted on men aged 40 - 64 consuming alcohol over the past 12 months. A total of 992 participants was selected for analysis. The research objects were alcohol consumption and QOL, measured using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C) and European QOL-5 Dimensions, respectively. Data analysis was performed by SPSS/WIN v25.0 using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The significance level was set at 0.05. Results: Among the general characteristics, significant differences in QOL were observed by age, education, marital status, economic activity, and income. Among the lifestyle and mental health variables, significant differences in QOL were observed by sleep status, exercise, smoking, subjective health, happiness, stress, and suicidal ideation. The factors affecting QOL were suicidal ideation, sleep status, income, economic activity, subjective health, and stress in order of importance. The regression analysis revealed that alcohol consumption did not affect QOL. Conclusions: Quality of life is influenced by various aspects of life, such as the psychological dimension (e.g., stress and suicidal ideation), physical dimension (e.g., sleep status and subjective health), and social dimension (e.g., income and economic activity). Therefore, developing and implementing integrated interventions considering these multidimensional factors is necessary.

The purpose of this study was to construct a model that describes the health related quality of life in working women with preschool children and to verify the goodness of fitness of the model. Methods: The data were collected with a structured self-report questionnaire from 483 working women with preschool children. Results: The modified model showed a reasonable fitness to the data. Social support, job satisfaction, parenting stress, sense of coherence and depression accounted for 78% of the health related quality of life in working women with preschool children. Conclusion: This study suggests that the health related quality of life in working women with preschool children can be improved by reducing parenting stress and depression level, and by increasing social support, job satisfaction, and sense of coherence. Depression can also be managed by reducing parenting stress and by increasing job satisfaction and sense of coherence. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to develop intervention programs to increase the health related quality of life or to decrease depression in working women.

This study aimed to identify types of quality of life (QoL) based on the 5 dimensions of EQ-5D and predict factors affecting types of QoL. Methods: This study was a secondary analysis using data from the Korean Health Panel Survey-Ⅱ(2012). Participants were 2,071 middle-aged men who had completed the additional survey in 2012 and the data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 and Mplus 5.21 for latent analysis. Results: Three latent classes of QoL were identified: serious (2.4% of the sample), threatened (15.5%), and stable types (82.0%). The types and characteristics of QoL among the latent classes differed. On comparing latent type 1 with latent type 2, the socioeconomic status (p<.05), employment status (p<.05), and subjective health status (p<.001) were found to be significant. On comparing latent type 1 with latent type 3, the socioeconomic status (p<.05), current smoking status (p<.001), and subjective health status (p<.001) were found to be significant. On comparing latent type 2 with latent type 3, the socioeconomic status (p<.05), subjective health status (p<.001), stress (p<.001) were found to be significant. Conclusion:The results showed significant heterogeneity in types of QoL and the predictors of QoL by types were different. These findings provide basic information for developing nursing interventions to improve QoL. Specific characteristics depending on the subtypes should be considered during the development of interventions.
