[Methodic approaches to evaluation of individual life quality of coal industry workers].

To study influence of social factors on life quality of coal industry workers, the authors designed a new method assessing individual life quality in miners, based on life quality assessment suggested by WHO. According to the study, life quality value averaged 27.7% in the examinees. According to the scale presented, average life quality level in the miners is low. Variability of life quality levels in the miners is determined mostly by social satisfaction index and health satisfaction index. Anxiety about health and quality of social care appeared to be main factors of low life quality in coal industry workers. Keywords: life quality, coal industry workers, psychologic component of health.
