The relationship between quality of life and parents' hardiness with children's self-efficacy

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between quality of life and parentschr('39') hardiness with childrenchr('39')s self-efficacy. This research is correlational in terms of practical purpose and in terms of the nature and method of collecting survey survey information. The statistical population included all high school students in Tehran in the academic year 1394-95, which using Cochranchr('39')s formula, 350 people were randomly selected from Tehran, District 13 from the east, District 5 from the west and District 1 from the north, District 20 were selected from the south of Tehran. In order to collect data, Scherer and Maddox self-efficacy scale questionnaires (1982), the World Health Organization quality of life questionnaire and the hardiness questionnaire of Kiamarsi et al. (1998) were used. In order to analyze the data, central indices and dispersion, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis were used with the help of SPSS software version 19. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between parentschr('39') quality of life variables and psychological hardiness with childrenchr('39')s self-efficacy (P <0.05). There is also a positive and significant relationship between the two variables of psychological hardiness and quality of life of parents (P <0.05). The results of stepwise regression showed that the quality of life and stubbornness of parents explain 9% of their childrenchr('39')s self-efficacy, which is a small percentage. In general, psychological resilience training and improving the quality of life of parents can be effective in childrenchr('39')s self-efficacy and success.
