Abstract:

Quality of life should not only be considered through the prism of material welfare, because it is also directly related to the individual’s mental sphere. The subjective aspect of quality of life is associated with well-being that provides contentment with life, as well as a satisfaction of needs such as social position, health, self-development or leisure activities. The crucial need during the COVID-19 pandemic was to protect lives and ensure health security. However, the time of the pandemic had also a negative impact in the areas of study, work, social relationships and leisure opportunities, and ultimately on the mental health. The purpose of this article is to verify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of life of young adults. The study shows that during the COVID-19 pandemic, all the three aspects of the quality of young adults’ lives deteriorated.
