Analysis of the association between health-related quality of life with social support and negative emotions among ethnic Korean children and adolescents

Abstract

Objective To understand the health-related quality of life status of ethnic Korean children and adolescents and its relationship with social support and negative emotions, and to provide assistance to the healthy development of ethnic Korean children and adolescents.

Methods From April to June 2018 in Jilin Province, 4 024 ethnic Korean children and adolescents were selected for the survey of quality of life, social support, and negative emotion, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to understand the relationships between them.

Results The average score of the quality of life of ethnic Korean children and adolescents was (81.01±12.64) points. The average scores for school function, emotional function, social function and physiological function were (80.16±15.36) points, (73.07±19.85) points, (88.52±14.03) points and (82.65±14.17) points, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the negative emotions of ethnic Korean primary and middle school students had a negative association with effect on quality of life ( β = –0.24, P<0.01), social support had a positive predictive effect on quality of life ( β = 0.17, P <0.01), and the interaction between negative emotions and social support played a negative role in quality of life of ethnic Korean primary and middle school students ( β = –0.19, P<0.01).

Conclusion The health-related quality of life of ethnic Korean children and adolescents is acceptable. Social support can alleviate negative emotions to reduce the impact of negative emotions on quality of life.
