Abstract

This systematic review study aims to explore the concept of quality of life and its multidimensional aspects. Quality of life encompasses an individual's overall well-being and satisfaction with various facets of their life, including physical health, mental health, social relationships, and environment. This subjective measure is influenced by diverse factors such as personal values, cultural background, socioeconomic status, and life experiences. The review examines common indicators of quality of life, including physical health and functional abilities, emotional well-being and mental health, social relationships, and support networks, financial security and stability, access to education, healthcare, and other resources, as well as environmental factors like safety, cleanliness, and access to natural spaces. The study highlights the significance of quality of life in healthcare and public health, emphasizing its role in evaluating the effectiveness of interventions and treatments, as well as identifying areas for improvement to enhance overall well-being and satisfaction. By synthesizing existing research and evidence, this systematic review contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the quality of life and its implications for individuals and communities.
