Sažetak
The aim of the study was to examine overall quality of life,
life satisfaction and happiness in professional care givers, to
explore age and gender differences in some indicators as
well as to examine the relationships between satisfaction with
specific life domains and measures of happiness and life
satisfaction. The results showed that the overall degree of
quality of life, life satisfaction and happiness was relatively high, taking into account the stressful job that these people
have. Among nine specific domains of quality of life, the
highest ratings were obtained for the domains of social
belonging, psychological and spiritual being, while the
lowest were community belonging and three becoming
domains. In comparison to men, women rated the domains
of spiritual being and physical belonging significantly higher,
while younger subjects rated the domains of social
belonging, leisure and growth becoming significantly higher
than older subjects. Results of regression analyses showed
that the life satisfaction ratings were best predicted by
satisfaction with physical, social and community belonging,
while happiness ratings were best predicted by quality of life
in the psychological being domain.
