Relationship of pupils' quality of life and academic achievement with the employment status of their mothers.

One of the most important environmental factors affecting academic achievement and performance is the family especially mothers. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between quality of life (QOL) and the academic achievement of pupils with the employment status of their mothers. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 9th-grade students in Shiraz. A sample of 400 individuals was selected through a multi-stage sampling method from among the 9th-grade students and a questionnaire on academic achievement and quality of life was completed for them. Then data was entered into spss23 software and analyzed. The value of P < 0.05 was considered a significant statistical level. There was no significant difference between students who have employed and Housewife mothers about the student's academic achievements ant QOL score (P > 0.05). According to the results of multivariate analysis, none of the variables was a significant predictor of the QOL and academic achievement in the students. In spite of lack of association between the quality of life and academic achievement of students with their mothers' occupation but it should be regarded that more attention to students and spent more time by students can be very helpful in the academic achievement of students.
