Perception of Life Satisfaction of Adult People with Mild Mental Disability

Original language description

The paper deals with the presentation of the partial results of the research which was conduct in order to evaluate the life satisfaction of people with mild mental disabilities, who live in selected sheltered houses in Olomouc and Zlín regions. The questionnaire Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life (SEIQoL) in the Czech translation by Rodný, Rodná (2011) was administered to 50 residents with mild mental disabilities in sheltered housing. There were 26 women and 24 men. Life satisfaction was examined in various areas: health, labor and employment, financial situation, leisure, person itself, social relationships, and housing. This research should further verify whether the application of this research tool for this target group is appropriate. The main problems were based on the specifics of the group. In the area of reliability it was the inaccuracy due to the difficulty level of items, style, wording of the questions, the ambiguity of words etc. Emphasis must also be placed on semantic and conceptual equivalence, which plays a major factor in how people assess their quality of life. Correctly chosen strategy of these methodological overcame these problems. The results suggest that men with mental disabilities, compared with the norm, i.e. men of intact population are in areas of health, labor and employment, financial situation, leisure, person himself, friends, acquaintances and relatives and living completely normal do not show significant deviations. These results were confirmed in the opposite sex compared to the standard group of intact women.
