Collected data were analyzed with SPSS 21 and using descriptive statistical methods (frequency, percent, mean, standard deviation, Independent t- test, and ANOVA). Results: The average age of the participants was 21.08 ± 1.2 years. The mean of the total quality of life was (93.73 ± 5.93), and 162 people (47.09%) were in a good level of quality of life.
