Psychosocial functioning and depression is associated with a wide range of impacts on adolescents' quality of life. In Nigeria, studies assessing the importance of psychosocial functioning and depression in distinguishing between the categories of quality of life and classifying adolescents into these categories have been limited in literature. This study investigated the domains of psychosocial functioning and child depression that significantly distinguish between the categories of quality of life and also classify into these groups. Data for 2019 adolescents aged 10-19 were obtained in a Benue State cross-sectional study. Preliminary analyses on their socio-demographic information were performed using descriptive statistics. Differences between categories (groups) of Quality of Life (low, moderate and excellent) on the basis of the attributes of the adolescents in terms of their psychosocial functioning and depression status , indicating which attributes contribute most to group separation were investigated using discriminant analysis. Chi-square analysis was used to assess the association between socio-demographic characteristics of the adolescents and levels of Quality of Life. The inter-relationships between the domains of Quality of Life and the adolescents age, position in the family, domains of psychosocial functioning and child depression status was assessed using correlation analysis. Prosocial behaviour (F=82.41, p<0.001) and ineffectiveness (F=31.19, p<0.001) were strong significant discriminating variables that predict adolescents' levels of total quality of life. Adolescent's psychosocial functioning and depression status relates with their physical health, psychological health, social relationship, environmental health and total quality of life.
心理社会功能和抑郁症对青少年的生活质量有着广泛的影响。在尼日利亚，评估社会心理功能和抑郁症在区分生活质量类别和将青少年划分为这些类别方面的重要性的研究文献有限。本研究调查了社会心理功能和儿童抑郁症的领域，这些领域显著区分了生活质量的类别，并将其划分为这些群体。2019年10-19岁青少年的数据来自贝努埃州的一项横断面研究。使用描述性统计对其社会人口信息进行初步分析。采用判别分析的方法，对青少年在心理社会功能和抑郁状态方面的属性在生活质量(低、中、优)类别(组)之间的差异进行了研究，表明哪些属性对群体分离的影响最大。卡方分析用于评估青少年的社会人口学特征与生活质量水平之间的关系。使用相关分析评估生活质量领域与青少年年龄、家庭地位、心理社会功能领域和儿童抑郁状态之间的相互关系。亲社会行为(F=82.41, p
