Abstract

Objective To determine the relationship between peer attachment and quality of life among adolescents in Chongqing, to provide scientific basis for intervention of quality of life.

Methods A total of 6 073 respondents were selected from 5 middle schools and 6 primary schools in a district of Chongqing in December 2017 by stratified cluster sampling method. The revised Chinese version of Adolescent Attachment Questionnaire (IPPA-R) Peer Attachment Subscale and Adolescent Children’s Quality of Life Scale were used to conduct the survey.

Results The total score of life quality of students with secure attachment type (144.97±17.39) was significantly higher than that of students with insecure attachment type (136.45±17.75) ( t = 18.90, P< 0.01). The scores of four dimensions of life quality of students with secure attachment [(30.40±5.11) (39.42±6.42) (53.45±7.99) (21.73±3.69)] were significantly higher than those of students with insecure attachment [(29.54±5.15) (37.87±6.66) (49.02±8.69) (20.02±3.60)] ( P<0.05). Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that peer attachment was correlated with physical, psychological, social, adolescent dimensions and the total score of life quality ( B = 0.28, 0.03, 0.05, 0.14, 0.05, P<0.05).

Conclusion Adolescent peerattachment is positively correlated with the total score and specific dimensions of life quality. Improving the safety of peer attachment is helpful to improve life quality among adolescents.
