Background & Objectives: Mistreated and orphan children are those whose parents (guardians) lack the necessary social, moral, and behavioral capability to take care of them for several reasons, such as addiction, physical or psychological harm and abuse. Parents and other people living with adolescents can define the quality of their life by providing proper supports. The psychological disorders that these children and adolescents experience usually decrease their quality of life and interpersonal relationships. It seems that by satisfying their basic psychological needs, people can achieve a proper level of emotional management, in other words, emotional intelligence, to achieve a desired quality and satisfaction in life. Emotional intelligence refers to a set of abilities and capabilities essential for human social life. This study aimed to explain the structural relationships between the basic psychological needs and the life quality based on the mediating role of emotional intelligence on mistreated and orphan adolescents.
Methods: This research is a descriptive correlational study and the statistical population consisted of 1639 orphan and mistreated adolescents living in the family–like centers in Tehran Province, Iran in 2019. Of whom, 258 people were selected by the available sampling method from 19 centers in Tehran, Parand, Rey, Shemiranat, Shahriar, and Mallard cities. The inclusion criteria were continuous residence in family–like centers, no chronic physical or mental illness, no medication for specific illnesses, and no psychotherapy for the last year. The study data were collected via the following tools: the Basic Needs Questionnaire (Sahebi, 2004), the Emotional Intelligence Scale (Schutte et al., 1998), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL) (WHO, 1998). Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation as well as structural equation modeling and the Pearson correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data in AMOS and SPSS softwares. The significance level was set at 0.05.
Results: The results showed that basic psychological needs generally effect the quality of life (p=0.001, β=0.398). Basic psychological needs directly effects emotional intelligence (p=0.001, β=0.687). Emotional intelligence directly effects the quality of life (p=0.001, β=0.618). The basic psychological needs indirectly affects the quality of life mediated by emotional intelligence (p=0.001, β=0.425). Also, the hypothesized model fitted with the collected data (χ2=114.03, CFI=0.957, GFI=0.930, AGFI=0.893, and RMSEA=0.067).
Conclusion: According to the study findings, emotional intelligence directly mediates the relationship between basic needs and quality of life in orphan and mistreated adolescents.
