Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the health-related quality of life based on women's employment status. Materials and Methods: The population of the study was composed of the women who applied to the Family Health Centers (FHCs) in the city center of XXXXXX. The questionnaire with two parts prepared as a result of the literature review made by the researcher about the subject was applied to the women meeting the inclusion criteria. The first part of the questionnaire includes the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants and the second part includes "Short Form Health Survey- SF-36". Results: As educational level increased, the quality of life of the women enhanced. The Physical Functioning and Physical Role Functioning scores of the single women were significantly higher compared to the married counterparts (p<0.05). Conclusion: In this study; the quality of life was not at the desired level for most of the women. Also, when the subscale scores of the quality of life scale were examined, it was observed that the quality of life scale score of the employed women was higher compared to the housewives and the quality of life of the employed women who were single, had high educationlevels and were civil servants was higher compared to the other employed women.

Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırma ile kadınların çalışma durumlarına göre sağlıkla ilişkili yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın evrenini XXXXXXX İl merkezinde Aile sağlığı Merkezlerine (ASM) başvuru yapan kadınlar oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmaya alınma kriterlerini karşılayan kadınlara, araştırmacı tarafından konu ile ilgili literatür değerlendirilmesi sonucu hazırlanan ve iki bölümden oluşan anket formu uygulanmıştır. Anketin birinci bölümünü, katılımcıların sosyo-demografik özellikleri, ikinci bölümünü ise, ‘‘Sağlıkla İlişkili Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği-36 (Short Form Health Survey- SF-36)’’ oluşturmaktadır. Bulgular: Eğitim arttıkça kadınların yaşam kaliteleri artmaktadır. Bekâr olan kadınların evlilere göre Fiziksel Fonksiyon ve Fiziksel Rol Kısıtlılığı puanları da anlamlı derecede yüksektir (p<0.05). Sonuç: Bu araştırmada; kadınların genelinde yaşam kalitesi henüz istenilen düzeyde değildir. İlaveten, yaşam kalitesi ölçeğinin alt puanlarına bakıldığında; çalışan kadınların yaşam kalitesi ölçek puanı, ev hanımlarına kıyasla daha iyidir. Ayrıca, çalışan kadınlar arasında bekâr, eğitim düzeyi yüksek ve memur olanların yaşam kalitesi diğer çalışan kadınlara oranla daha yüksektir.
