Objective:
to identify the factors that impact on the quality of life of people and their impact on health guidelines based on the area of strategic management.
Methodology:
quantitative research, in which the National Quality of Life Survey 2015-2016 and information from the Chilean health services to the year 2019 were used. A sample of 6.818 people was determined on which a model of structural equations was applied.
Results:
a global goodness of fit index, GoF of 0.5131 was obtained, considered a good fit of the model, and 48.2% of quality of life was explained by the internal and external factors considered. In addition, the strategic health guidelines were explained in 32.1% by the quality of life, verifying that it affects the health guidelines of the country.
Conclusions:
quality of life has a multidimensional character that can be visualized through a model that brings together internal and external factors and, because quality of life is essential to improve the well-being of the population, it is present in health guidelines of the Chilean health services.
