STUDY ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF STUDENTS FROM “CONSTANTIN BRÂNCUȘI” UNIVERSITY OF TÂRGU JIU DURING THE FOURTH WAVE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Summary/Abstract: AIM: THE STUDY REFLECTS THE WAY IN WHICH THE STUDENTS OF THE “CONSTANTIN BRÂNCUȘI” UNIVERSITY OF TÂRGU JIU PERCEIVE THE EFFECTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, BOTH REGARDING THE DECISIONS ADOPTED BY THE INSTITUTION'S MANAGEMENT REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHING ACTIVITIES IN THE ONLINE VERSION AND REGARDING THE QUALITY OF THEIR LIVES. METHODS: THE STUDY TARGETED A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE OF STUDENTS FROM THE “CONSTANTIN BRÂNCUȘI” UNIVERSITY OF TÂRGU JIU, BUILT ON THE BASIS OF A RANDOM STATISTICAL STEP OF 3, THE NUMBER OF RESPONDENTS BEING 674. THE QUESTIONNAIRE ADDRESSED TO THE RESPONDENTS INCLUDED A NUMBER OF 39 QUESTIONS, 26 OF WHICH ALLOWED US TO ASSESS THE QUALITY OF LIFE, THROUGH THE WHOQOLBREF INSTRUMENT OF THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION. RESULTS: THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY REVEAL THE HIGH DEGREE OF TRUST GIVEN BY THE RESPONDENTS TO THE TEACHING STAFF OF THE “CONSTANTIN BRÂNCUȘI” UNIVERSITY OF TÂRGU JIU. ALTHOUGH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAD SERIOUS INFLUENCES ON STUDENTS' LIVES AND THEIR INCOME LEVELS, THE PARAMETERS THAT CHARACTERIZE STUDENTS' QUALITY OF LIFE, ASSESSED IN THE FOUR MAJOR AREAS: PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL, ARE HIGHER. ALTHOUGH THE DEGREE OF ACCEPTANCE OF COVID-19 VACCINES IS HIGH, WHICH CONFERS AN INCREASED DEGREE OF IMMUNITY AND A MINIMAL RISK OF CONTAMINATION WITH THE SARS-COV-2 VIRUS, STUDENTS PREFER THAT THE TEACHING ACTIVITIES CONTINUE IN THE ONLINE VERSION. CONCLUSIONS: THERE ARE FAVORABLE PREMISES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES IN THE "CONSTANTIN BRÂNCUȘI" UNIVERSITY OF TÂRGU JIU AT HIGH QUALITY STANDARDS, GIVEN THE HIGH DEGREE OF TRUST OF STUDENTS IN THE TEACHING STAFF, THEIR APPRECIATION OF THE TECHNICAL PLATFORM OF THE INSTITUTION PROVIDED STUDENTS AND THE HIGH LEVEL OF PARAMETERS THAT CHARACTERIZE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. WE RECOMMEND DEEPENING THE CAUSES FOR WHICH ALMOST TWO THIRDS OF THE RESPONDENTS THINK ABOUT THE CONTINUATION OF ONLINE TEACHING ACTIVITIES, ALTHOUGH THE OPINIONS OF SPECIALISTS REVEAL MULTIPLE SHORTCOMINGS THAT LED TO THE WIDENING OF THE EDUCATION DEFICIT OF YOUNG PEOPLE DURING THE PANDEMIC.
