Relationship of Corona Anxiety with Life Satisfaction and Quality of Life in Iranian Adults

One of the consequences of anxiety is a decrease in life satisfaction and quality of life (QOL) in individuals. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of Corona anxiety with life satisfaction and QOL in Iranian adults.

This descriptive- analytical cross-sectional study was performed on adults living in Iran in 2020. Totally, 381 adults were selected by convenience sampling method. Data were collected through "Demographic Information", "Corona Anxiety Scale", "Quality of Life" and "Life Satisfaction" questionnaires via social networks and analyzed in SPSS 16 with independent t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression.

The mean age of the subjects was 28.74±9.54 years. The means of Corona anxiety (9.82±5.64), life satisfaction (19.86±7.03) and QOL (77.63±13.03) were moderate. Moreover, Corona anxiety had a significant negative relationship with life satisfaction and QOL (p<0.01).

Corona anxiety among Iranian adults has negative consequences on QOL and life satisfaction, so such psychological symptoms related to the Corona pandemic should be identified, and the necessary measures should be taken to combat its consequences.
