“…Instruments to measure quality of life have been developed to examine adolescents' perceptions of the impact of various health care interventions and of supportive services designed to address mental or physical health problems (Drotar 1998;Edwards et al 2003;Hinds and Haase 2003;Spieth and Harris 1996). Quality of life instruments also have been used in population health surveys of adolescents to examine the impact of various health policies and health promotion initiatives (Bradford et al 2002;Huebner et al 2004;Kaplan 1998;Raphael 1996;Raphael et al 1996;Topolski et al 2001Topolski et al , 2004. In these studies, "quality of life" is often meant to refer to adolescents' satisfaction with life as a whole and with various life domains that are important to them.…”

Several measurement assumptions were examined with the goal of assessing the validity of the Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale (MSLSS), a measure of adolescents' satisfaction with their family, friends, living environment, school, self, and general quality of life. The data were obtained via a cross-sectional survey of 8,225 adolescents in British Columbia, Canada. Confirmatory factor and factor mixture analyses of ordinal data were used to examine the measurement assumptions. The adolescents did not respond to all the MSLSS items in a psychometrically equivalent manner. A correlated five-factor model for an abridged version of the MSLSS resulted in good fit when all negatively worded items and several positively worded items (the least invariant) were excluded. The abridged 18-item version of the MSLSS provides a promising alternative for the measurement of five life domains that are pertinent to adolescents' quality of life.

“…Also, in another important study, patients with chronic pain had a lower QoL, especially those with LBP and multiple pain localizations [13]. On the other hand, marital status has been reported to be minimally related to HRQoL in LBP patients in some developed countries [3,5,25]. A study also established the significant impact of marital status on HRQoL in LBP patients [1].…”

SummaryStudy aim: This study investigated the relationship of clinical characteristics of morbidity (CCM) and marital status with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with low back pain (LBP). Material and methods: A total of 100 subjects with LBP of mechanical origin participated in this study. HRQoL of the participants was measured with the short form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire and CCM were categorized based on duration of onset of LBP in weeks into acute (<6 weeks), sub-acute (6-12 weeks) and chronic (>12 weeks). The relationship of CCM and marital status with HRQoL was analysed using Pearson's product moment coefficient of correlation. Results: The outcome of this study showed that CCM correlated poorly and inversely with all domains of HRQoL except mental health, though that was insignificant (p > 0.05). Also, a proportionate but insignificant relationship was found between marital status and domains of HRQoL except physical functioning and role limitations due to physical health problems. Conclusion: It was therefore concluded that CCM and marital status cannot determine or predict HRQoL among LBP patients, and it might not be necessary to take them into consideration during rehabilitation of these individuals.
