Perceptions of self-determination and quality of life among Swedish home care recipients - a cross-sectional study

Table 3 Differences between older adults who reported higher degree vs lower degree of self-determination on QoL

Health-related QoL	Higher self-determination Md (Q1; Q3)	Lower self-determination Md (Q1; Q3)	Differences in Median	Effect size	p
EQ-5D-5 L total^a	0.8 (0.6; 0.9)	0.6 (0.3; 0.7)	0.2	0.39	< 0.001
EQ-VAS^a	65 (50; 80)	50 (40; 65)	15	0.30	< 0.001
NHP total^b	24 (8; 40)	40 (26; 53)	16	0.30	< 0.001

n difference between 117 and 128 depending on internal missing values
p = Differences between higher and lower self-determination analysed using Mann-Whitney U Test
EQ-5D-5 L total range between < 0 to 1. 1 = full health
EQ-VAS range 0–100. 100 = best imaginable health
NHP range from 0 to 100. 0 = best imaginable health
^a = Higher value = better QoL, ^b = Lower value = better QoL
