The unprecedented outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a huge global health and economic crisis. The aim of the study was to examine the extent to which the resilience of a person is associated with the quality of life (QoL) of adults amongst Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of adults in Saudi Arabia. A total of 385 adults voluntarily participated in and completed the survey. The quality of life was measured using the "World Health Organization QoL". The "Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale" instrument was also used to assess resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Amongst the 385 participants, 179 (46%) showed a good QoL, and 205 (54%) reported a relatively poor QoL. The resilience was found to be significantly associated with QoL. The study further revealed that gender-based differences were dominant in the QoL; the men respondents reported a significantly higher QoL in all the domains in comparison to the women respondents. The gender, income, and psychological health and interaction effect of resilience and age explained 40% of the variance in the total score of QoL. In reference to the predictors of the physical health domain of QoL, resilience, gender, and psychological health were significantly associated with the physical health domain of the QoL (R = 0.26, = 0.001). It was also noted that gender was not associated with the social relationships and environmental domains of QoL ( > 0.05). Findings showed a statistically significant association between the score of QoL and resilience, age, gender, income, and psychological health. These findings highlight the significant contribution of gender-based differences, psychological health, and resilience on the domains of QoL.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的空前爆发造成了巨大的全球健康和经济危机。本研究旨在探讨一个人的适应力与沙特阿拉伯成年人生活质量（QoL）之间的关联程度。采用横断面研究方法，对沙特阿拉伯的成年人样本进行了研究。共有 385 名成年人自愿参加并完成了调查。生活质量采用“世界卫生组织生活质量”进行衡量。还使用“Connor-Davidson 适应力量表”工具评估 COVID-19 大流行期间的适应力。在 385 名参与者中，有 179 名（46%）表现出良好的 QoL，而 205 名（54%）报告了相对较差的 QoL。研究发现，适应力与 QoL 显著相关。研究进一步表明，性别差异在 QoL 中占主导地位；与女性受访者相比，男性受访者在所有领域的 QoL 报告均显著更高。适应力、性别、收入和心理健康以及适应力与年龄的交互效应对 QoL 的总分变异解释了 40%。在参考 QoL 身体健康领域的预测因素时，适应力、性别和心理健康与 QoL 的身体健康领域显著相关（R = 0.26， = 0.001）。还注意到，性别与 QoL 的社会关系和环境领域无关（> 0.05）。研究结果表明，QoL 评分与适应力、年龄、性别、收入和心理健康之间存在显著关联。这些发现突出了性别差异、心理健康和适应力对 QoL 各领域的重要贡献。
