- Abstract
Objective: Quality of life is one of the determinants of general health and can be influenced by various risk factors among different periods of life. Our study aims to determine the quality of life of university students and evaluate the related factors such as accommodation status, social support perception and health status. Material and Methods: The universe of this cross-sectional study consists of 389 nursing students of a university. No sample size was defined, and 353 of the students have participated in the study (90.7%). The quality of life of the university students was evaluated by the WHOQOL-BREF which had been developed by the World Health Organization. A structured questionnaire assessed the potential risk factors associated with quality of life and the social support perception evaluated by the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. The association between risk factors and quality of life is determined with a linear regression model. The participation in the study was based entirely on volunteering, and there was no need for ethical board approval. Results: We found a positive correlation between all aspects of the WHOQOL-BREF scores and the perceived social support of university students. Being in a healthy condition and having social support from friends are found to be related with increased quality of life among all aspects of WHOQOL-BREF. Being a senior student, male sex, residing in a house rather than student dormitories, having adequate income, and having high social support among other aspects of the scale were found to be related with increased quality of life among various sub-domains of WHOQOL- BREF. Conclusion: The gentle nature of issues like residency, general health condition, income and perceived social support makes them essential for the future development of social and health politics and implementations aiming to improve social support among university students.
