Resumen
MIRANDA, Suélen Ribeiro; PEREIRA, Jéssica Reis; PEREIRA, Elaine Cristina y VITORINO, Luciano Magalhães. Association between happiness, health perception and quality of life of medical students: cross-sectional study. Rev Port Med Geral Fam [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.5, pp.395-402. Epub 31-Oct-2023. ISSN 2182-5173. https://doi.org/10.32385/rpmgf.v39i5.13502.
Objective:
To verify the association between subjective happiness and health satisfaction and the quality of life of medical students in Brazil.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study with intentional sampling. A total of 362 students between the 1st and 4th year (equivalent to the 8th period) of the medical school at the Faculty of Medicine of Itajubá (FMIT), Brazil, participated in the study. A Sociodemographic and Health Characterization Questionnaire, the Lyubomirsk and Lepper Subjective Happiness Scale, and the WHOQOL-bref were used to assess the quality of life.
Results:
Our results show that a better perception of happiness was associated with better health satisfaction and quality of life among medical students.
Conclusions:
The present study addressed an interesting gap in the relationship between subjective happiness and health satisfaction, and QOL of Brazilian medical students. It is concluded that the participants' higher happiness levels are associated with better health satisfaction and better perception in the four QOL domains of the WHOQOL-bref.
Palabras clave : Happiness; Quality of life; Medical students; Brazil.
