This study is conducted with the cross-sectional method and correlational design on the community of Guilan University students in the academic years of 2016-17. A sample of 200 students has been selected by using the multi-stage cluster sampling method. In order to collect the data, the main family scale, the Psychological well-being scale of Ryff and the quality of life questionnaire of World Health Organization have been used. The SPSS-18 software has been used to analyze the data and the results have been reported in the form of descriptive and inferential statistics.

The results of the Stepwise regression analysis to predict the variance of the students' quality of life have indicated that only in one step the psychological well-being variable with (6.245) t coefficient has a high and significant correlation with the quality of life variable.

Abstract


This study is conducted in order to evaluate the role of family health and psychological well-being in the prediction of the students' quality of life. This study is conducted with the cross-sectional method and correlational design on the community of Guilan University students in the academic years of 2016-17. A sample of 200 students has been selected by using the multi-stage cluster sampling method. In order to collect the data, the main family scale, the Psychological well-being scale of Ryff and the quality of life questionnaire of World Health Organization have been used. The SPSS-18 software has been used to analyze the data and the results have been reported in the form of descriptive and inferential statistics. The results have shown that the psychological well-being and family health variables with the correlation value of 0.415 and 0.404 have a positive and significant correlation with the quality of life variable at the P<0.01 level of significance. The results of the Stepwise regression analysis to predict the variance of the students' quality of life have indicated that only in one step the psychological well-being variable with (6.245) t coefficient has a high and significant correlation with the quality of life variable.
