Sammanfattning
The study presented in this paper
is part of a larger Norwegian
investigation among adolescents,
where the overall aim is to develop
methods to promote their
quality of life, to discover risk
factors or threats to adolescents’
well-being, and finally to prevent
the negative effects of such factors.
The purpose of this article is
to describe the health-related
quality of life (HR-QOL) of a
group of healthy, Norwegian adolescents,
and to discuss possible
implications for further research
and clinical work. HR-QOL was
measured with Child Health
Questionnaire Child Form
(CHQ-CF87), and in addition
demographic data were collected.
The results indicate that HR-QOL
among this group of Norwegian
adolescents is relatively high on
the average. However, the findings
also reveal areas of quality
of life where the average measures
are somewhat lower, and
where the adolescents seem to be
more vulnerable, ie mental
health, self-esteem and bodily
pain. There are also significant
gender differences, with girls scoring
lower than boys, in the following
scales; bodily pain, mental
health, self-esteem and behaviour.
