2013Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας ήταν να διερευνηθούν οι επιδράσεις ορισμένων συμπεριφορών υγείας,
όπως η άσκηση, το κάπνισμα και η κατανάλωση αλκοόλ στην ποιότητα ζωής ενηλίκων που βρίσκονται σε
εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία. Το δείγμα της έρευνας ήταν 363 ενήλικες, (Μ.Ο. ηλικίας = 41.86, Τ.Α. = 11.42 έτη)
που παρακολουθούσαν προγράμματα επιμόρφωσης, σε Κέντρο Εκπαίδευσης Ενηλίκων (ΚΕΕ). Χρησιμοποι-
ήθηκαν ερωτηματολόγια για να καταγραφούν το κάπνισμα σε καθημερινή βάση, η κατανάλωση αλκοόλ σε
εβδομαδιαία βάση, καθώς και η φυσική δραστηριότητα. Για την αξιολόγηση της ποιότητας ζωής χρησιμο-
ποιήθηκε το ερωτηματολόγιο SF-36. Για τη στατιστική ανάλυση χρησιμοποιήθηκαν αναλύσεις παλινδρόμη-
σης. Βρέθηκε ότι το κάπνισμα προβλέπει σημαντικά (p<.05) τόσο την ψυχική (R2=.03) όσο και τη σωματική
υγεία (R2=.02), ενώ η κατανάλωση αλκοόλ προβλέπει σημαντικά (p<.05) μόνο τη σωματική υγεία (R2=.02).
Βρέθηκε ακόμη ότι μόνο η μέτριας έντασης σωματική δραστηριότητα προβλέπει σημαντικά (p<.05) τόσο την
ψυχική (R2=.04) όσο και την σωματική υγεία (R2=.03). Συμπερασματικά, οι συμπεριφορές υγείας συνδέονται
με την ποιότητα ζωής ενηλίκων που επιλέγουν να ενταχθούν σε προγράμματα δια βίου εκπαίδευσης.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of health behaviours, such as physical activity,
smoking and alcohol use, on quality of life of adults who are in education process. The research sample was
composed by 363 adult learners, (Mean Age = 41.86, SD = 11.42 years) who were attending training programmes
in an Adult Education Centre. Questionnaires were used in order to record smoking on a daily
basis, alcohol use on a week basis, as well as physical activity. For the evaluation of quality of life the SF-36
questionnaire was used. Regression analyses showed that smoking behavior contribute to the explanation of
mental (R2=.03, p<.05) and physical health (R2=.02, p<.05), while alcohol use contribute to the explanation of
physical health (R2=.02, p<.05). In addition, it was found that only medium-intensity physical activity contributed
to the explanation of mental (R2=.04, p<.05) and physical health (R2=.03, p<.05). Hence, health behaviours
are connected with the quality of life of adults who choose to attend lifelong education programmes.
