Quality of Life and Its Predictors Among Nursing Students in Saudi Arabia.
Journal of Holistic Nursing : Official Journal of the American Holistic Nurses' Association 2018 July 2
PURPOSE: This study investigated the quality of life (QOL) and its predictors among nursing students in a university in Saudi Arabia.
DESIGN: A descriptive, cross-sectional design.
METHOD: A convenience sample of 175 baccalaureate nursing students from a university in Saudi Arabia was surveyed in this study. Using the WHOQOL-BREF and a sociodemographic sheet, the QOL and its predictors among Saudi nursing students were investigated.
FINDINGS: The respondents reported a mean score of 4.09 ( SD = 0.71) and 4.02 ( SD = 0.87) for their overall perceptions of QOL and health, respectively. The psychological and physical health of these students had the highest and poorest QOL perception, respectively. Gender, academic year level, community type, and monthly family income exerted a multivariate effect on the four domains of QOL.
CONCLUSION: The study underscores the need to ensure the highest level of health and well-being among nursing students while they are undergoing training for their professional roles as nurses. The findings should be utilized by policymakers in nursing institutions in Saudi Arabia in creating policies centered on the holistic development of nursing students in the country.
