Determination of Life Quality in Primary School and High School Teachers of Gorgan – Iran

The present paper aimed at determination of life quality in primary school and high school teachers of Gorgan – Iran. Sample volume was assigned by use of Morgan table. Data were gathered by WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire which determines four areas (i.e. physical health, mental health, social relations, and environmental health). After evaluation of the mean scores, it was found that master-bearing primary school teachers have higher levels of physical and mental health than bachelor-bearing primary school teachers. However, the reverse is true about social relations and environmental health. Also, it was found in primary school teachers that < 30 years old teachers gained better mean scores in all areas except for physical health area where 35-30 years old teachers gained higher mean score. But, in high school teachers, 35-30 years old teachers gained better mean scores in all areas except for social relations where < 30 years old teachers had better mean score. No significant difference was detected in the areas of life quality (p > 0.05).
