Abstract
Aim. To study and evaluate the quality of life of primary school-age children living in different social conditions due to marital status in Lugansk.
Design. A prospective cohort non-randomized study was conducted.
Materials and methods. A survey of 222 children aged 7-10 years was conducted. Depending on the living conditions of children, 3 groups were identified: group I - 74 children living in dysfunctional families (36 boys and 38 girls); group II - 62 children raised in an orphanage in Lugansk (32 boys and 30 girls) and group III - 86 children from full, prosperous families (40 boys and 46 girls). To study the quality of life of children living and being brought up in various social conditions, the international questionnaire Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 was used.
Results. The study showed that the lowest indicators of quality of life in terms of physical functioning were observed in children from disadvantaged families. In terms of emotional functioning, boys brought up in an orphanage had the lowest rates. The children of the orphanage had higher scores in terms of social functioning and school functioning, compared with children from disadvantaged families. The highest results of psychosocial health were observed in children from prosperous families.
Conclusion. The results of the study indicate the need for dynamic supervision of doctors, psychologists, social workers for children from social risk groups, as well as involving not only parents, but also teachers in the work of education in order to create optimal conditions for school and social adaptation.
