Abstract

<p>Purpose: The associations between QOL (Quality of Life), mental health, and subjective condition of exercise habits among medical university students in physical therapist and occupational therapist courses during the corona crisis were examined.</p><p>Methods: From June 2021 to October 2021, students enrolled in medical universities in physical therapist or occupational therapist courses were subjected, and 147 respondents excluding 6 invalid respondents were analyzed. QOL scaled by the Japanese version of EuroQOL, gender, age, mental state scaled with the Japanese version of K6, and subjective condition of exercise habits were collected in 153 medical college students. Exploratory multiple regression analyses were performed with the total score of the EuroQOL as the dependent variable and the other variables as the independent variables. The statistical significance level was set at less than 5%.</p><p>Results: Lower EuroQOL scores were associated with females, a K6 score of less than 15, feelings of inactivity, and fear of exercising outside.</p><p>Conclusion: Medical university students in physical therapist and occupational therapist courses with low QOL due to the corona crisis may have low mental health, feel a lack of exercise, and feel afraid of exercising outside.</p>
