| Abstract | Background: Spirituality and coping strategies employed by an individual in their life are two significant factors in determining the quality of life (QoL). Objectives: The present research aimed to investigate the correlation between religious attitudes and QoL among medical students at Abadan University of Medical Sciences. Methods: The present research is a cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study was conducted in 2023 - 2024 with the participation of 462 students from 11 different fields of study at Abadan University of Medical Sciences. Stratified sampling was employed, and the research instruments consisted of a demographic, questionnaire, the quality-of-Life Questionnaire, and the Religious Attitude Scale. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, the independent t-test, and ANOVA and Pearson correlation test with SPSS 21 at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The mean total score of QoL was 90.66 ± 16.02, and the mean score of religious attitudes was 135.86 ± 37.26. There was no statistically significant difference in the mean scores of QoL and religious attitudes among students from different fields of studying order (P = 0.143, P = 0.791). The results revealed a significant correlation between the total scores of QoL and religious attitudes (P < 0.001, r = -0.431). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that religious attitude and QoL are two concepts that are correlated with each other. Given the impact of religious attitudes on QoL and the decline in scores for both variables in higher semesters and older age groups, the need to strengthen the religious dimension among students through developing cultural programs and providing necessary infrastructure in universities seems evident. | en |
