Children are the future makers and the main assets of any country. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to childhood health. One of the important indicators related to health is the health-related quality of life and life satisfaction, which are particularly affected by education in school-age children. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the status of virtual education from the perspective of school-age children with the health-related quality of life and life satisfaction.
This research was a descriptive-analytical and cross-sectional study that was conducted from April to September 2021. The statistical population of the research was made up of all students under virtual education in the fourth to sixth grades of Isfahan elementary school. Sampling in this study was done in clusters and within the clusters as available. Accordingly, 300 second-grade elementary students who were selected from all schools in the three educational districts of Isfahan-Iran formed the research samples. The research data collection tools included the Landgraph Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire, multidimensional life satisfaction questionnaire, and a virtual education researcher-made questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used for descriptive data (mean and standard deviation for quantitative variables and frequency distribution table for qualitative variables), and the Pearson correlation coefficient was used for inferential data.
As shown, 50% of the students were girls and 50% boys, with an average age of 11 years. Most respondents (64%) reported the status of e-learning as appropriate and health-related quality of life (60.7%) as good, and most of the people (65%) reported their life satisfaction as satisfactory. In addition, there was a positive and significant correlation between health-related quality of life and e-learning status (r = 0.23; < 0.001).
The internet and virtual space can cause problems in public health while providing a suitable platform for development and progress; this is particularly true for children. However, this study showed that virtual education has a positive relationship with the health-related quality of life in students, and the health-related quality of life is also good from their perspective.
儿童是未来的创造者，是任何国家的主要财富。因此，关注儿童健康很重要。与健康相关的生活质量和生活满意度是与健康相关的重要指标之一，学龄儿童的教育对其影响尤为显著。本研究旨在从学龄儿童的角度调查虚拟教育状况与健康相关生活质量和生活满意度之间的关系。
本研究为描述性分析横断面研究，于2021年4月至9月进行。研究的统计人群包括伊斯法罕小学四至六年级所有接受虚拟教育的学生。本研究采用整群抽样且在群内随机抽样。据此，从伊朗伊斯法罕三个教育区的所有学校中选取的300名二年级小学生构成研究样本。研究数据收集工具包括兰德格拉夫健康相关生活质量问卷、多维生活满意度问卷以及一份研究者自制的虚拟教育问卷。描述性数据采用描述性统计（定量变量用均值和标准差，定性变量用频率分布表），推断性数据采用皮尔逊相关系数。
结果显示，50%的学生为女生，50%为男生，平均年龄为11岁。大多数受访者（64%）认为电子学习状况合适，60.7%的人认为健康相关生活质量良好，大多数人（65%）表示生活满意度令人满意。此外，健康相关生活质量与电子学习状况之间存在显著正相关（r = 0.23；P < 0.001）。
互联网和虚拟空间在为发展与进步提供合适平台的同时，也可能给公众健康带来问题；对儿童而言尤其如此。然而，本研究表明虚拟教育与学生的健康相关生活质量呈正相关，从他们的角度来看，健康相关生活质量也较好。
