Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of life stress, depression, and smart-phone addiction on quality of life as well as to verify the variables related to quality of life and the factors contributing to quality of life among undergraduate students. The data were collected from 194 subjects at K university in G city using a self-administered questionnaire. T-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. As a result, mean scores of life stress, depression, smart-phone addiction, and quality of life were $62{\pm}.33$, $24{\pm}.3$, $2.59{\pm}.63$, and $3.48{\pm}.54$, respectively. There was a negative correlation between life stress, depression, smart-phone addiction, and quality of life. The factors influencing quality of life were life stress, depression, and smart-phone addiction. Based on these findings, it is necessary to improve quality of life and multidisciplinary interventions in order to reduce life stress, depression, and smart-phone addiction in undergraduate students. These findings contribute to the development of a program to improve quality of life among undergraduate students.
