...Factors affecting quality of life Factors that affect a person’s quality of life may be physical or emotional. While these factors are important for everyone, it is especially important that care workers ensure that certain factors are present for individuals in their care. These include: • Physical factors: exercise, diet, physical comfort, safety, hygiene, pain relief • Intellectual factors: stimulation, engaging in activities • Emotional factors: privacy, dignity, approval, psychological security, autonomy • Social factors: social contact, social support. Physical life quality factors These include: • Exercise • Diet • Physical comfort • Safety • Hygiene • Pain relief Physical comfort By physical comfort we mean the provision of a suitable environment which meets an individual’s needs, i.e not too hot, not too cold, comfortable beds/chairs, the right amount of stimulation, not too noisy. Ensuring physical comfort may also mean: • providing the care required to maintain comfort, such as allowing peace to sleep • having the correct height furniture • changing a baby’s nappy regularly to prevent nappy rash and so the baby is not uncomfortable • moving a bedridden individual regularly to prevent soreness. Diet All people need food to survive. The amount and types of food they eat can affect their quality of life, particularly if they have...

...Stimulation: Stimulation means the presence of stimuli that increase a person's arousal to a comfortable level, making life interesting and challenging for them, without stimuli life may be very boring. Stimulation in the residential home is provided on a day to day basis as the clients are always busy; this could be when they go to volunteer in charity shops such as the British Heart Foundation , when they go to work or when they get themselves involved in activities that have been organised by residential officers in the building eg: arts and crafts and sports activities. The adults living in the building will have a sense of independence as they’re not staying inside of their flat and also taking responsibility for themselves. The care setting makes sure that the client has a full and busy life. Effective communication: Effective communication is influencing those around them and speaking encouraging words. It means people can access the information they need without any stress or trouble. Every client in the residential building have effective communication from every member of staff. For instance, they can ask about any questions or worries they may have like “why am I taking this medication?” or “what is this medication for?” and they will always get an answer from a member of staff in vocabulary that suits their cognitions that makes them feel better. If a client doesn’t understand what they’re being told then they will be told again or told in a different...

...Applying life quality factors Stimulation Moorcroft Primary School promotes stimulation (psychological life quality factor) in many different ways, both in and outside the lessons. Without stimulation in a school environment pupils may feel bored. This school promotes stimulation by providing and assisting with different extra-curricular activities. There are a wide range of extra-curricular activities for the children to join for example the after-schools club. This is when the children play a different activity each week and have a variety of toys to play with, as well as there are construction blocks and a cooking/baking session each week. If the child does not want to participate in theses activities there are quieter alternatives. An example of how Moorcroft promotes stimulation in lessons is how the teachers include different events and activities in maths lessons. One of the most popular activities the children play in maths is “catch me if you can”. This is where all the children have a number up to 25 on their back. One child starts with the teacher and gets given a sum they then have to run around after everyone until the can catch the other child with the answer on their back, this child then has to come to the teacher and gets a different sum. The game is over after everyone has been “catcher”. Depending on the ability of the group this can be made more challenging by timing each child how long it takes them to catch the answer. In lessons work is set to different...

...children to face social and emotional constraints which may promote a downfall in a child’s overall well-being. The term well-being can vary depending upon the context and situation that the phrase is being presented. When discussing children whose parents are going through a divorce, well-being refers to his or her overall physical health and emotional stability. Researchers would argue that well-being is much more than that and could be defined more biologically, psychologically and/or economically. I believe well-being refers to a person’s quality of life. Success and happiness signify a high quality of life while disappointments signify a lower quality of life. A joyful person has a positive well-being compared to a distressed person. Well being has the potential to affect many areas in a person’s life. Some examples are: health, income, career opportunities, emotional stability and relationships. The importance level of theses factors varies amongst individuals but they are all very significant. A study conducted by the Royal Society, which is composed of the world's most eminent scientists, looks at the term on a biological level. The core of well-being contributes to the effective functioning of multiple biological systems, which may help keep the organism from succumbing to disease or when illness or adversity occurs, may help promote rapid recovery (Love, Ryff, & Singer, 1383). Well-being is defined as having the ability to maintain a strong immune system and...

...Index, the Quality of Life Index, the Gross National Happiness Index and the Millennium Development Goals. Development is also defined in many ways, for example the three world theory, the northern and southern hemisphere and the economically developed countries. Gross Domestic Product (GPD) is a way of measuring development which focuses on economic growth. GDP is the total value of all goods and services the country produces. A high GDP indicates a productive economy, where wealth will filter down to improve standard of life for society. However, critics note that this does not account for the distribution of wealth within a country so wealth could be concentrated in the elite groups oppose to being equally issued. Furthermore, the approach is based on Western capitalist ideologies that see wealth as synonymous with the well-being, ignoring the potential negative effects of rapid and unrestricted accumulation of profit. The data can be unreliable which would make it incomparable between countries. Another way in which to measure development is Human Development Index (HDI). This is a combination of scores of education, wealth and life expectancy between 0 (least developed) and 1 (most developed). The HDI is not completely comprehensive and does not disclose inequalities within a nation. The index lacks depth, detail and is oversimplified which challenges the validity. It does not include other factors of development for example, birth rates. The Quality of Life Index (QLI)...

...example, which as a tool for assessing household expenditure can reflect the living standard. It suggests that a lower proportion of income spent on food indicates a higher standard of living, which is important for wellbeing assessment. Moreover, a thorough investigation into the household expenditure structure also helps us to better analyze people’s behaviors and preferences. However, measurement in income and expenditure is only about people’s financial condition. It only demonstrates people’s material wellbeing. For instance, the monetary numbers do not tell us that people in Beijing is suffering from air pollution. Looking solely at household income and expenditure does not give us any information about people’s living environment, life satisfaction, etc. Household wellbeing is not a simple add up of all the family members’ wellbeing. Like chemicals, the household wellbeing as a whole involves more subtlety. Thus, focusing on income and expenditure is not a reasonable measure for household wellbeing. The sole use of income and expenditure as a tool is not a convincing method. To measure household wellbeing, all the aspects including health, education, happiness and personal achievement and other elements need to be taken into consideration in order to make a comprehensive assessment. In...

...Concept Analysis: Healthcare Related Quality of Life Tarren Evans, RN BSN APSU/RODP NURS 5000 March 21, 2015 Quality of Life Concept Introduction The phrase “health care related quality of life” (HRQOL) or “quality of life” (QOL) is often used in healthcare. The perceptions of the meaning can vary depending on who is explaining it. The reason for this selected topic is to research other disciplines and see if indeed significant variations in the meaning exist. The purpose of this concept analysis is to define, research, and analyze if the dissimilarities improve or hinder a patient’s plan of care. This paper will examine the significance of a concept to advance understanding (McEwen, 2014). Literature Review Can quality of life be defined to have a uniformed definition? The first known research on quality of life was published in 1957 that surveyed mental health adults in the USA. The Oxford English Dictionary (2010) defines QOL as “the standard of health, comfort, and happiness experienced by an individual or group”. There are several influences that can alter the definition of QOL. The acronym “HRQOL” is a narrowed term when characteristics relating to an individual’s health status are likely to be affected (Sandau, 2014). The literature review discussed some domains that render the effects on the perception of this concept. A collaborative study done by doctors and nurse practitioners discussed that physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual...

...achieving for more and aspiring to get the next best thing. We work more hours to get paid more to buy more things in the hopes of being happier. This belief is somewhat true. Income and happiness are related to a certain extent. An increase in the level of income is positively related to an increase in the level of happiness, until achieving an annual income of approximately 13,000 USD. After this point, happiness remains stable even when the income increases.1 Since 1950, GDP per capita in countries like the UK and the US has more than tripled, but people there are not any happier than before. Why is that? World experts in the subject of happiness, Dr. Diener, Dr. Lyubomirsky and Dr. Seligman, showed that once the essential needs to support life, such as adequate water, food, and housing, are met, additional money does not buy additional happiness.3 However other things do, such as being healthy, having meaningful relationships, a positive frame of mind, being engaged in meaningful work and being altruistic.4 Therefore why is...

...Running Head: NEW ZEALAND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS REPORT New Zealand Economic Analysis Report Heather McKellips Grand Canyon University ECN 600 November 26, 2010 Abstract New Zealand is a small group of islands that is located to the southeast of Australia. It has a total land area of about 103,733 square miles, making it about the same size as the state of Colorado, USA. Although it has a small size, New Zealand is a thriving country. Their main exports include wool, forestry products, meat, dairy, fruit and nuts and fish. They have a thriving tourism business with more than 1.5 million visitors in 1999. Despite its small size and having to compete with more productive and more powerful nations, where does New Zealand’s economic being lie? This report will detail the economic stability of this country. Resting just southeast of Australia, New Zealand has some major competition with the production and exportation of their goods. They are also very reliant on foreign imports. Because of the major country of Australia just to their north, they also lose many members of their population to immigration. But on a whole, how does their economy hold up in comparison to the rest of the world? New Zealand is a power parity and has a gross domestic product (GDP) of $63.8 billion. The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) has shown a steady increase in the GDP of New Zealand since 2004. However they still fall below the OECD average. (New Zealand...

...alone cannot measure the development of a nation. The difference between growth and development too has become clearer. In spite of fast paced economic growth for last 10-20 years, a large part of our population remains illiterate. A large part of our population does not have the access to safe drinking water and proper medical care. Highest number of malnourished children belongs to our nation. These are some of the bitter realities which GDP growth based measurement never reflects. All these facts suggest the need of a more holistic approach to measure the development and growth. Human Development Index (HDI) is the best available choice to measure the development. It measures the development on the basis of income, education, and life expectancy at birth. It encompasses many aspects of development rather than just income and hence offers better insight to the development. This report proposes to use Human...

...We can deduce that quality of living are better in the USA, UK, New Zealand and the Czech Republic as these are the 4 countries with the highest National income per capita and the ones that seem like reasonable places to live. The USA is, according to the GNI per capita statistics, the country with the best living conditions with $43740, however, this is not necessarily accurate as the US has no free health care system and high crime rates among other faults which makes the worlds largest economy weak compared to the UK and New Zealand where the GNI may not be as high as America’s but people have longer life expectancy, less crime and free health care... China, which is by far the most populated country in the list, and in the world, has the GNI per capita $1740, which is pretty pathetic. China is an up and coming country economically, however there are serious issues that need to be addressed before you can call the giant a reasonable place to live and be treated like an equal. It is very difficult to compare Tanzania, Kenya, and Pakistan to the other nations simply for the lack of products and capital in these countries. Even though there might be raw goods in the countries with great possibility, these countries are run by corrupt governments where the lack of capital makes it difficult for growth to be a reality. This makes it obvious that the standard of living in these countries is terribly bad. The four top countries in the list have a percentage that is next to nothing...

Leisure time: 7 2. The environment: 8 3. Non-market activity: 10 IV/ Conclusion: 11 I/ Introduction: It is no doubt that if people want to judge a person is doing economically, they usually first look at his or her income. Similarly, when talking about an economic condition of a country, it is not surprise that people most frequently look at the average income of that nation or in other word, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. To be more specific, the most commonly accepted method of comparing generalized differences in quality of life on a whole between nations is to use GDP per capita on purchasing power parity (PPP) basis in current international dollars. In our report, we propose to clarify the usefulness (the reason why economists use GDP per capita as a major measurement) as well as the limitation when using GDP to measure the economic well-beings of a nation...

...communication, transportation, and trade. It has becomes a symbol of the development of the world as well as a process of taking people’s lives to a new era. In various fields, globalization has brought positive changes to the world, such as in finance, medical knowledge, cultural exchange, and technology. These improvements have enlarged the human scope of knowledge, and in turn increased people’s living standard. People’s ability to satisfy themselves in their lifetime is defined as the standard of living. The measurement of it depends on human beings’ income growth, educational standard, life expectancy and some other aspects. As time goes by, globalization has embedded itself deeply into various communities and played an important role in affecting the quality of their lives. Concepts such as the growth of GDP, income per person, mortality rate, and higher education are all connected to globalization and life satisfaction. Therefore, with the onset of globalization, it is proven that the standard of living has consistently been improved in the majority of countries in this world through economic, biological, and educational means. The question then becomes: “how does one measure standard of living?” According to McGillivray and Noorbakhsh, “empirical research has proposed a number of composite indexes intended to measure multi-dimensional well-being”, and that “the best known, and that which has received the most attention, is the UNDP’s Human Development Index, (HDI)” (McGillivray...
