摘要：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.
