COVID-19 pandemic has impacted people around the globe. Countries, including Indonesia, implemented large-scale social restrictions. Since marriage is found to be beneficial to people's quality of life (QoL), the study aimed to examine the QoL of married people in Indonesia during a large-scale social restriction of the COVID-19 pandemic. An online cross-sectional survey using Qualtrics was conducted in June 2020. Respondents' sociodemographic data, spouse data (as reported by the respondents), and pandemic-related data were collected, followed by QoL data, measured by WHQOOL-BREF. WHOQL-BREF consists of 26 questions grouped into four domains: physical, psychological, social relationships, and environmental. Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis H and Spearman correlation analyses were employed to compare QoL between groups of sociodemographic characteristics. In total, 603 respondents were recruited. The respondents' mean age is 35.3 years (SD = 7.61), most are females (82%), bachelor degree graduate (95%), Islam (78%), employed (69%), and assigned to work from home during the pandemic (76%). Married men reported better QoL in almost all domains than women; employed respondents reported higher QoL scores than unemployed; higher educated respondents reported higher QoL than those with lower education; respondents with higher income reported higher QoL than those with lower income. We found significant positive correlations between the QoL scores and age, spouse's age, and marriage length, although they were considered small. Compared to Indonesian population normative scores pre-pandemic, our sample reported no difference in physical and social domains, lower in the psychological domain, but higher in the environmental domain. Indonesian married people, especially women, those with low level of education, currently out of work, and below-average financial condition are the ones who reported worse quality of life during the lockdown. These results can help direct the Indonesian government efforts in dealing with psychosocial problems during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially for married couples.
新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情（COVID-19 pandemic）已影响全球各地民众。包括印度尼西亚在内的各国实施了大规模社会限制措施。由于婚姻被认为有益于人们的生活质量（QoL），因此本研究旨在调查 COVID-19 大流行期间印度尼西亚已婚人士的生活质量。2020 年 6 月，使用 Qualtrics 进行了在线横断面调查。收集了受访者的社会人口统计学数据、配偶数据（由受访者报告）和与大流行相关的数据，随后使用 WHQOOL-BREF 测量生活质量。WHOQL-BREF 由 26 个问题组成，分为四个领域：身体、心理、社会关系和环境。采用 Mann-Whitney U、Kruskal-Wallis H 和 Spearman 相关分析比较社会人口统计学特征组之间的生活质量。总共招募了 603 名受访者。受访者的平均年龄为 35.3 岁（SD=7.61），大多数为女性（82%），本科（95%），伊斯兰教（78%），有工作（69%），在疫情期间被安排在家工作（76%）。与女性相比，已婚男性在几乎所有领域的生活质量报告都更好；与失业者相比，有工作的受访者报告的生活质量评分更高；与教育程度较低的人相比，教育程度较高的人报告的生活质量更高；与收入较低的人相比，收入较高的人报告的生活质量更高。我们发现，生活质量评分与年龄、配偶年龄和婚姻长度之间存在显著正相关，尽管相关程度较小。与疫情前印度尼西亚人口的常模得分相比，我们的样本在身体和社会领域没有差异，心理领域得分较低，但环境领域得分较高。印度尼西亚已婚人士，尤其是女性、教育程度较低、目前失业和收入水平中等以下的人士，在封锁期间报告的生活质量较差。这些结果可以帮助印度尼西亚政府在应对 COVID-19 大流行期间的心理社会问题方面做出努力，特别是针对已婚夫妇。
