Quality of Life during COVID-19 Pandemic in a Romanian Sample
Journal Title: Public Health Open Access - Year 2022, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the factors related to quality of life in the context of COVID-19 pandemic in Romania. Research Approach: cross-sectional study. Sample/Participants: The study group consisted in 504 people aged 18 to 65, M = 42.12, SD = 12.36. Full-time or part-time employed in Romania. Method: The study was conducted using the following instruments: WHOQOL-BREF, Field Trial Version, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), and Quantitative Job Insecurity Scale. The data were collected online through Google Forms, including sociodemographic information. Findings/Conclusions/Interpretation: The results obtained through hierarchical regression analysis suggest that gender (male), monthly income (higher), but not education level (higher) are positive predictors of quality of life. Self-efficacy, as an inner individual resource, is positively associated with quality of life, but job insecurity is negatively and stronger associated with quality of life, above and beyond gender, monthly income, and self-efficacy. Implications for Practice: Our conclusions can help develop appropriate career plans for certain groups of employees. The risk of job loss is high, so employees must be supported to train their self-efficacy and build new career plans, in different fields of activity, where their chances of success may be higher, in accordance with the current requirements of labor market. By achieving job security and an acceptable income, the perception of quality of life is likely to increase.
