Quality of life (QOL) is defined by the World Health Organization as the individual's perception of his/her position in life, within the context of culture and system of values in which the individual lives, and as relates to his/her objectives, expectations, standards, and concerns. Life in university is so stressful; it can affect health-related QOL (HRQOL). There are many factors that affect HRQOL of university students. The aim of this study was to assess the QOL of female university students in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, and identify factors related to it, with special emphasis on Internet use.
This cross-sectional study surveyed 2516 female students at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University in Dammam, using a self-administered questionnaire with sections on sociodemographics, score for Internet use/addiction (IA), and an assessment of HRQOL. Two latent factors were extracted: physical component summaries (PCSs) and mental component summaries (MCSs). Bivariate analyses and MANOVA were then performed.
The overall PCS and MCS were 69% ± 19.6 and 62% ± 19.9, respectively. Almost two-thirds of the students were found to have IA or possible IA. Students whose parents had lower education reported less PCS. Students with high family income reported higher PCS and MCS than those with a lower income. MANOVA model has shown that the higher the IA score, the lower the score of both the PCS and MCS.
HRQOL in female students was found to be affected by parental educational level, family income, and problematic Internet use.
世界卫生组织将生活质量（QOL）定义为个体在其所处的文化和价值体系背景下，对自身生活位置的感知，以及与个人目标、期望、标准和关切相关的感受。大学生活压力巨大，会影响与健康相关的生活质量（HRQOL）。影响大学生HRQOL的因素众多。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯达曼地区女大学生的生活质量，并确定与之相关的因素，特别强调互联网使用情况。
本横断面研究对达曼伊玛目阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·本·费萨尔大学的2516名女学生进行了调查，采用自行填写的问卷，内容包括社会人口统计学、互联网使用/成瘾得分（IA）以及HRQOL评估。提取了两个潜在因素：身体成分总结（PCSs）和心理成分总结（MCSs）。然后进行了双变量分析和多变量方差分析。
总体PCS和MCS分别为69%±19.6和62%±19.9。发现近三分之二的学生存在IA或可能存在IA。父母教育程度较低的学生PCS得分较低。家庭收入高的学生PCS和MCS得分高于收入低的学生。多变量方差分析模型显示，IA得分越高，PCS和MCS得分越低。
发现女学生的HRQOL受父母教育水平、家庭收入和有问题的互联网使用影响。
