Assessment of self-satisfaction, happiness, and quality of life (QoL) among adults: An online survey

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Health and QoL are essential for every individual. Regardless of their psychological status, every individual needs an optimum level of Self-satisfaction, Happiness, and QoL. The paper aimed to explore the QoL of the Indian population concerning their day-to-day needs. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study used an online survey method to assess the QoL of Indian adults. The Questionnaires have been sent to more than 3000 participants through social media like Emails, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and WhatsApp. A total of 200 participants filled out the Google form completely. The data was collected from March 2022 to June 2022. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS (version 24). RESULTS: The Overall mean was found to be 3.25 [N = 200, Range 18-36 above, Mean = 3.25 and SD = 1.04]. A few important dimensions are mentioned, such as QoL (50% people with mean = 4.00), Self-satisfaction (38% people with mean = 4.00), enjoyment in life (45% people with mean = 4.00), sleep (42% people with mean = 4.00), sex life (36.5% people with mean = 3.00), constant strain (33.5% people with mean = 3.00), loss of self-confidence (26% people with mean = 3.00). CONCLUSION: The study indicates low scores on self-satisfaction, QoL, and above-average scores for happiness. There must be interventions to improve the levels of psychological functioning among adults concerning these variables, which would, in turn, help improve the overall adults’ functioning. The relevant interventions need to be planned to improve self-satisfaction, happiness, and QoL by improving daily activities.
