Abstract:Objective To investigate the health-related quality of life of officers and soldiers in a naval aviation troop and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for the improvement of the health level of officers and soldiers. Methods One hundred and sixty officers and soldiers in a naval aviation troop were sampled through convenience sampling. Basic information, chronic diseases, hospitalization within one year and other conditions of the respondents were collected through field investigation. The health-related quality of life of these respondents was evaluated by the Chinese version of SF-36 and compared with the SF-36 norm of Chinese adult males. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the factors that might affect the quality of life of these respondents. Results All respondents were males and the average age was (29.76±7.15)years. Sixty(42.50%)respondents rated their health status as average, and 21 respondents (13.12%)were not satisfied with their health status. The average scores of the soldiers in six dimensions of physiological function, physical pain, vitality, social function, emotional function and mental health were significantly lower than the corresponding norm of Chinese adult males (P<0.05). Low health satisfaction, depression, anxiety, suffering from chronic diseases, bad sleep quality, high work and life pressure, bad mental condition and etc. were the risk factors for the quality of life. Conclusions The health-related quality of life of officers and soldiers is relatively low, so more attention should be paid to the health service needs of officers and soldiers in physical pain management and mental health.
