dc.description.abstract | Quality of life, as an important component of psychological welfare, has a special
importance for persons with disabilities. The aim of the study was to find sociodemographic
variables that are influential in this construct and to establish differences
between persons with different types of disabilities. The sample (N=929) consisted of
persons with physical (N=351), hearing (N=337) or visual (N=241) disabilities from five
cities in Serbia. The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) scale was
administrated. Gender, marital status, age, education, incomes, job, and where and with
whom participant lives, proved to be important factors for the quality of life of persons
with disabilities. Better ratings of quality of life were expressed in younger and more
educated persons with disabilities, in those who were married and unmarried compared
to divorced and widows, in the employed and students compared to the unemployed
and retired, in those living with parents, with a spouse or with a spouse and children
compared to persons living just with children. Participants with physical disabilities
attained significantly poorer scores on all factors of the WHOQOL scale compared to
participants with hearing and visual disabilities. The results of the study suggest that
persons with physical disabilities experience lower satisfaction in all domains of quality
of life compared to persons with sensory disabilities; and that a socio-demographic
status is important in sustaining their quality of life. In developing intervening programs
for persons with disabilities, socio-demographic variables influencing the quality of life
of these persons must be considered. Holistic care for these people should focus on social
support. | sr |
