Povzetek

Raziskovalno vprašanje (RV): Kateri so dejavniki okolja in njihovi pozitivni in negativni učinki na kakovost življenja?

Namen: Namen raziskave je prepoznati ključne učinke sodobnih dejavnikov kakovosti življenja. Cilj raziskave je proučiti koncept kakovosti življenja in njegove učinke ter oblikovati model kakovosti življenja, temelječega na dejavnikih kakovosti življenja.

Metoda: Uporabljena je kvalitativna metoda pregleda in analize znanstvene in strokovne literature s področja kakovosti življenja. Za potrebe raziskave smo uporabili dela, objavljena med leti 2000 in 2022.

Rezultati: Na podlagi pregleda literature je oblikovan model kakovosti življenja z osmimi dimenzijami oziroma dejavniki – družbene interakcije, naravno okolje, življenjski slog, poklicno in zasebno življenje, zaposlitveni status in dohodkovna neenakost, socialno varstvo, informacijsko-komunikacijske tehnologije in COVID-19. Ugotovljenih je najmanj 26 pozitivnih in 37 negativnih učinkov okolja na kakovost življenja.

Organizacija: Raziskava prispeva organizacijam s prepoznavanjem sodobnih dejavnikov okolja oziroma njihovih učinkov na kakovost življenja, pri čemer lahko organizacije umilijo nekatere negativne učinke.

Družba: Raziskava prispeva k poznavanju pozitivnih učinkov okolja na kakovost življenja in ozavešča o bolj ali manj ugodni realnosti učinkov okolja na kakovost življenja sodobne družbe. S ozaveščanjem določenih negativnih učinkov, lahko vsak posameznik prispeva k boljši kakovosti svojega življenja in življenja drugih.

Originalnost: Originalnost raziskave je v prispevanju k ozaveščanju in morebitnem omiljevanju negativnih učinkov okolja na kakovost življenja.

Omejitve/nadaljnje raziskovanje: Raziskava je omejena zgolj na pregled literature, kar predstavlja določene omejitve v količini podatkov.
