| dc.description.abstract | The quality of life of children is one of the achievement targets on human development and
poverty eradication, known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Quality of life is
one of the indicators of child’s health and well-being that are currently considered to be more
accurate than the child mortality rate. Tangerang, one of the closest areas to Jakarta as a
capital city of Indonesia, is recorded to have approximately 340 residents working as trash
picker and dwelling in a landfill. Trash pickers are mostly identical with poverty and nonhygiene
circumstances. Thus, the purpose of this study was to profile the quality of life of
trash pickers’ children. The quality of life was measured with an instrument of translated and
validated KINDL questionnaire. KINDL has six domains including physical health, emotional
health, family functioning, self-esteem, social functioning and cognitive functioning. The
participants were 42 parents (mostly the mothers) working as trash picker with children aged
between 4-7 years old in Rawa Kucing landfill, Tangerang. This study indicated the various
results among KINDL domains in the quality of life of trash pickers’ children. Social
functioning was found to be better than other domains while the cognitive functioning was
indicated as the most difficult domain to cope in terms of education and assignment from
regular school. This profile of the quality of life of trash pickers’ children will be used for
further in-depth studies on the health-related quality of life in children from other domains for
enhancing the improvement of human resources quality for better well being. | in_ID |
