Korean elementary school students have the lowest life satisfaction levels among OECD countries. The use of smart devices has led to smartphone addiction, which seriously affects their quality of life. This study aims to establish and test variables that affect the quality of life (QOL) of elementary school students based on the Predisposing, Reinforcing and Enabling Constructs in Educational Diagnosis and Evaluation (PRECEDE) model, using smart device-related parental intervention, self-efficacy, social support, health promotion behaviors, family environment, smart device addiction, and QOL as measurement variables. Three elementary schools in the Republic of Korea completed self-report questionnaires. Descriptive statistical analysis and hypothetical model fit and test were used for data analysis. The model was found to be valid. Smart device addiction directly affected QOL. In contrast, health promotion behaviors, self-efficacy, social support, and smart device parental intervention indirectly affected QOL. Health-promoting behaviors also directly affected smart device addiction, self-efficacy, and family environment had a direct effect on health-promoting behavior. Therefore, to improve the QOL of elementary school students, the government should focus on developing programs that can help them actively perform health promotion activities and improve self-efficacy, social support, and parental intervention for smart devices that indirectly affect them.
韩国小学生的生活满意度在 OECD 国家中处于最低水平。智能手机的使用导致了智能手机成瘾，严重影响了他们的生活质量。本研究旨在基于教育诊断和评估的倾向因素、促成因素和强化因素（PRECEDE）模型，建立和检验影响小学生生活质量（QOL）的变量，使用与智能设备相关的父母干预、自我效能、社会支持、健康促进行为、家庭环境、智能设备成瘾和 QOL 作为测量变量。韩国的三所小学完成了自我报告问卷。数据分析采用描述性统计分析和假设模型拟合和检验。该模型被证明是有效的。智能设备成瘾直接影响 QOL。相反，健康促进行为、自我效能、社会支持和智能设备父母干预间接影响 QOL。健康促进行为也直接影响智能设备成瘾，自我效能和家庭环境对健康促进行为有直接影响。因此，为了提高小学生的生活质量，政府应专注于开发能够帮助他们积极开展健康促进活动并提高自我效能、社会支持和对智能设备的父母干预的项目，这些因素间接影响他们的生活质量。
