Tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti Lietuvoje gyvenanciu užsienio studentu namu ilgesio ir gyvenimo kokybes sasajas. Tiriamieji – 129 užsienio studentai iš 34 pasaulio šaliu, šiuo metu studijuojantys Lietuvoje, Vilniaus ir Kauno universitetuose. Iš ju 72' vyrai ir 57'moterys. Tiriamuju amžius 18–30 metu, amžiaus vidurkis – 23 metai. Metodai. Namu ilgesiui išmatuoti naudota Utrechto namu ilgesio skale (angl. The Utrecht Homesickness Scale), sukurta M. Stroebes, T. Vlieto, M. Hewtone‘o ir H. Williso (2002). Gyvenimo kokybei matuoti naudota C. E. Ferranso ir M. Powerso (1984) gyvenimo kokybes indekso bendroji III versija (angl. The Quality of Life Index Generic Version! III). Kitoms tiriamuju savybems sužinoti užduoti demogra(niai klausimai. Rezultatai. Nustatyta, kad namu ilgesi ir gyvenimo kokybe sieja statistiškai reikšmingas neigiamas ryšys (p<0,01) – kuo stipriau užsienio studentai jaucia namu ilgesi, tuo blogesne ju gyvenimo kokybe. Taip pat nustatytas statistiškai reikšmingas teigiamas ryšys tarp amžiaus ir namu ilgesio (p<0,05) bei statistiškai reikšmingas neigiamas ryšys tarp amžiaus ir gyvenimo kokybes (p<0,05) – kuo jaunesni užsienio studentai, tuo silpniau jie jaucia namu ilgesi ir tuo geresne ju gyvenimo kokybe.

The aim of the study was to evaluate link between homesickness and quality of life among foreign students in Lithuania. The subjects of the study were 129'foreign students from 34 countries all over the world. All these students are now studying in Lithuania, in Vilnius’ and Kaunas’ universities. There were 72 men and 57 women. Their age was 18–30 years, mean of age is 23 years. Measures. Homesickness was assessed by the Utrecht Homesickness Scale (Stroebe, Vliet, Hewtone, Willis, 2002). Quality of life was assessed by the Quality of Life Index Generic Version III (Ferrans, Powers, 1984). Also, demographic questions were asked to know other characteristics of the participants. Results show that there is statistically signi(cant negative correlation between homesickness and quality of life (p<0,01) – increase homesickness is followed by decrease quality of life. Moreover, there is statistically signi(cant positive correlation between age and homesickness (p<0,05) and statistically signi(cant negative correlation between age and quality of life (p<0,05)'– younger students feel weaker homesickness and their quality of life is better than older students. There is no statistically signi(cant gender di/erence in level of homesickness and quality of life (p>0,05).
