Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to review existing approaches and traditions regarding the definition and study of quality of life based on the analysis of literary data and the results of their own observations. The concept of quality of life is part of the category-conceptual apparatus of various social, natural and economic sciences. It is the fact that the quality of life is the object of studying representatives of different fields of scientific knowledge, which leads to quite different approaches to its study. The quality of life, as a complex psychophysiological and psychosocial construct, can be defined as a combination of personality relationships associated with a subjective understanding of the value of health and the need for self-realization, including in conditions of illness. Today, more and more quality of life is seen as a complex indicator, a system construct that has a complex multifactorial organization. The study of quality of life deserves special attention, based on the study of the needs and interests of the individual, which are always individual and are reflected in subjective representations, assessments and attitudes.
