| Summary: | Determining the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of secondary school teachers and its relationship with various factors will provide a basis for improving their quality of life and benefit society. To this end, this article endeavors to determine the factors associated with HRQoL among female secondary school teachers in Selangor, Malaysia. This is a cross-sectional study of 888 female secondary school teachers in Selangor, Malaysia. We used a self-reported questionnaire to collect data, and linear regression analysis was used to determine the factors associated between physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) of HRQoL. Age, body mass index (BMI), symptoms of depression and anxiety, and reporting low back pain were significantly associated with PCS. Meanwhile, age, symptoms of depression, and resilience level were significantly associated with MCS. These findings will benefit workplaces in planning strategies and initiatives to improve HRQoL among female secondary school teachers in Malaysia. |
