The evidence clearly shows that education greatly impacts people's well-being. Bangladesh has two main education systems-general and traditional religious schooling. The current study aimed to measure the quality of life of madrasa students and find out the factors influencing it. This was a cross-sectional study on a group of madrasa students in the Mirpur area of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Data were collected using two-stage stratified random sampling between April and May 2022. The final sample size was 373. The health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was calculated using the KIDSCREEN-10 index, and the median split was used to categorize the score into 'good' and 'poor' categories. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant for all statistical tests. Among the participants, most (56%) reported having a good HRQoL. The median age (IQR) of the participants was 10.0 (8.0-12.0) years. Most of the participants were male (91%) and were not orphans (95%). The current study also found that a higher feeling of safety (AOR 3.7; 95% CI 1.3-10.4; p = 0.016) increased the odds of having good HRQoL. However, having a present illness decreased the odds (AOR 0.6; 95% CI 0.4-0.9; p = 0.10) of having a good HRQoL. The key results show that the majority reported a good HRQoL. Promoting students' physical, mental, and social well-being through health education, anti-bullying initiatives, regular school health screening, and institutional & community involvement can help to improve the overall HRQoL of madrasa students.
证据清楚地表明，教育对人们的福祉有重大影响。孟加拉国有两种主要的教育系统——普通教育和传统宗教学校教育。本研究旨在衡量宗教学校学生的生活质量，并找出影响其生活质量的因素。这是一项在孟加拉国达卡米尔普尔地区的宗教学校学生中进行的横断面研究。数据收集于 2022 年 4 月至 5 月期间通过两阶段分层随机抽样完成。最终样本量为 373 人。使用 KIDSCREEN-10 指数评估与健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL），并采用中位数分割将分数分为“良好”和“较差”两类。所有统计检验均以 p<0.05 为具有统计学意义。在参与者中，大多数（56%）报告 HRQoL 良好。参与者的中位数年龄（IQR）为 10.0（8.0-12.0）岁。大多数参与者为男性（91%）且非孤儿（95%）。本研究还发现，较高的安全感（优势比 3.7；95%置信区间 1.3-10.4；p=0.016）增加了 HRQoL 良好的可能性。然而，目前患有疾病降低了这种可能性（优势比 0.6；95%置信区间 0.4-0.9；p=0.10）。主要结果表明，大多数人报告 HRQoL 良好。通过健康教育、反欺凌倡议、定期学校健康筛查以及机构和社区参与，促进学生的身心健康和社会福利，可以帮助提高宗教学校学生的整体 HRQoL。
