This study aims to examine the association of quality of life (QOL) with life satisfaction, subjective norms, general health, optimism, and attitude among university students.
Respondents include 632 university students (M=21.36, SD = 2.86).
This cross-sectional study was conducted on university students in Torbat Heydariyeh, Iran. Several statistical models were tested, including hierarchical regression and path analysis, to examine the direct or indirect association between a set of important variables.
According to the results of path analysis, constructs of subjective norms, general health, positive attitude, optimism, and life satisfaction were significant predictors of students' QOL. Compared with other constructs, general health status (p < 0.001, R2 = 0.548) and life satisfaction (p < 0.001, R2 = 0.253) showed the strongest association with QOL.
The results indicate that efforts to improve life satisfaction by targeting general health, subjective norms, optimism, and attitudes may provide promising ways to improve QOL.
本研究旨在探讨大学生生活质量（QOL）与生活满意度、主观规范、一般健康、乐观和态度之间的关系。
本研究的受访者包括 632 名大学生（M=21.36，SD=2.86）。
本横断面研究在伊朗托尔巴特·海达里耶的大学生中进行。测试了几种统计模型，包括层次回归和路径分析，以检验一组重要变量之间的直接或间接关联。
根据路径分析的结果，主观规范、一般健康、积极态度、乐观和生活满意度的结构是学生 QOL 的重要预测因素。与其他结构相比，一般健康状况（p<0.001，R2=0.548）和生活满意度（p<0.001，R2=0.253）与 QOL 的关联最强。
研究结果表明，通过针对一般健康、主观规范、乐观和态度来提高生活满意度，可能是改善 QOL 的有前途的方法。
