 Abstract:

The demands of academic life for nursing students are overwhelming. Despite all available resources and coping mechanisms, still, the quality of life of some if not all students, may be affected in many ways. It has been determined that in the general assessment of nursing students QOL or Quality of Life, those without any obligation at home and other social sources have less stress and better quality of life compared to those who have. This study primarily focused on the following aims. First, it determined the demographic profile of the participants as to age, gender, academic classification, nursing related experience, and grade point average (GPA); second, how nursing students (the participants) perceived their quality of life using based on their responses to the Quality of Life Evaluation Scale (QOLES) for Nursing Students; third, determined the degree of relationship between the demographic profile of the participants to their responses to the (QOLES) for Nursing Students Scale; and lastly, it evaluated how can academic profiles become predictors of quality of life of nursing students. The Grade Point Average (GPA) of each student participant cannot exactly and profoundly explain the status of their quality of life. The quality of life of students, not only nursing students, while in the university is a mix of unrest and steady situations.
