ALVAREZ, Damián et al. Health-Related Quality of Life in Adolescents From Three Educational Institutions in Valle de Aburra. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2022, vol.18, n.1, pp.19-35. Epub 01-Jan-2022. ISSN 1794-9998. https://doi.org/10.15332/22563067.5653.
Inquiring into the health-related quality of life of adolescents becomes relevant when we wish to understand their perceptions and opinions, especially when thinking about care strategies, particularly in the school environment. The objective of this quantitative, non-experimental research was to describe the health-related quality of life of a group of adolescents from three Educational Institutions in Valle de Aburrá, in the eighth and ninth grades, based on the application of the KIDSCREEN-27 questionnaire. The study was conducted with a sample of 430 adolescents with a median age of 14 years (CV = 0.07). The results showed that adolescents perceive their health-related quality of life in a very positive way, especially in the dimension of friends and social support. Statistically significant differences were identified for gender, favoring the male population and physically active teenagers.
