“…The data also indicated that most participants (76%) depended on their faith when they became stressed. This data corresponded to Anye et al (2013) who found the more spiritual the student was, it resulted in higher scores in their satisfaction of feeling mentally and physically healthy. Also, 75.8% of participants believed that everything is going to be "okay" when they were stressed.…”

“…The more spiritual the student is, resulted in higher scores in regards to satisfaction of feeling mentally and physically healthy. Students who were not spiritually involved scored lower on the well-being scale (Anye et al, 2013). In regards to mental health, Mahmound, Staten, Hall, and Lennie (2012) found that whenever college students had a support system or a religious affiliation, it helped decrease their levels of stress.…”

“…Anye, Gallien, Bian, and Moulton (2013), discussed the "relationship between spiritual well-being and health-related quality of life" (p. 415).

“…A covariation of both was found with those with high rates of psychological well-being reporting beter health-related quality of life compared to those who reported a moderate sense of psychological well-being [30].

Many studies have been focused on the analysis of diferent factors that relate to the quality of life. And those studies have found a clear relationship between the quality of life, psychological well-being, and health. It is important to know those relationships and to know factors that can improve these three aspects simultaneously. And one of the most important factors is the realization of physical activity on a regular basis. This study analyzes the efect of physical activity on improving the quality of life (physical health and well-being) and its relationship with psychological well-being through two studies. One was a randomized clinical trial involving 98 low-risk incident cases of acute coronary syndrome, who were randomly assigned to an unsupervised walking program or a cycle ergometer exercise program. The other study is an expost-facto investigation with a total of 841 healthy subjects. We apply them questionnaires to measure subjective wellbeing, satisfaction with life, positive and negative afect, Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36), and the speciic Velasco-del Barrio questionnaire for post-myocardial infarction. This study concludes physical activity and exercise are key factors in an individual's perception for their quality of life, both in the area of physical and psychological health.

This study aimed to determine the status of quality of life, spiritual well-being, and their relationship among Iranian adolescent girls. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 520 students using the cluster sampling method. The mean score of quality of life was 59.86 (SD: 12.7) from the possible range of 0-100. The mean score of spiritual well-being was 90.22 (SD: 16.25), ranging from 20 to 120. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed a significant relationship between quality of life and the factors including existential well-being, religious well-being, parents' belief for their children's participation in religious ceremonies, father's education and occupation, father's illness, sufficiency of family income for expenses, and the number of children. Given that spiritual well-being dimensions are among the predictors of quality of life. Thus, it is necessary to find ways to promote spiritual well-being in adolescents and ultimately improve their quality of life.
