Hygiene. Preventive Medicine Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to examine the QoL and health satisfaction of undergraduate university students in Sarawak during MCO and its association with socio-demographic profiles. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, QoL and satisfaction of health of 503 undergraduate university students (63.4% females) from a public university was assessed online using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL)-BREF instrument. Results: The overall QoL and satisfaction with health were 3.7 ± 0.87 and 3.9 ± 0.82, respectively. Male students showed significantly lower mean scores for the environmental domains than female students (63.37 ± 16.21 vs 68.10 ± 14.00, p<0.01). Students who lived inside the campus (vs outside campus) showed significantly lower mean score for the physical health (61.49±13.94 vs 67.23±13.93, p<0.01), environmental health (58.35±15.07 vs 70.49±13.21, p<0.01), overall QoL (3.39±0.90 vs 3.84±0.83, p<0.01) and satisfaction with health (3.71±0.90 vs 3.97±0.77, p<0.01). Students with parent’s income below RM5000 (vs parent’s income more than RM5000) had significantly lower mean score for the environmental domain (65.06±14.35 vs 68.20±15.74, p<0.05). Others ethnicity scored significantly lower than Bumiputera Sarawak and Malay while Bumiputera Sarawak scored significantly lower than Chinese in physical health domain (Malay = 65.73±13.40, Chinese = 63.24±15.35, Bumiputra Sarawak = 67.35±13.30, Others = 60.84±15.88, p<0.05). Malay (69.99 ± 15.20) scored the significantly higher than other ethnicities (Chinese = 63.58 ± 15.80; Bumiputera Malaysia = 65.23 ± 13.66; others = 63.98 ± 15.59) in environmental domain (p<0.01). When comparing between religions, the results also showed there were significant differences between different religion groups in overall quality of life (Islam=3.75±0.93, Christianity=3.77±0.79, Others=3.34±1.14, p<0.05), physical health (Islam=65.00±13.86, Buddhism=68.40±11.99, Christianity=64.77±14.94, Others=61.00±16.03, p<0.05) and environmental health (Islam=69.66±15.48, Buddhism=64.99±11.36, Christianity=64.87±15.61, Others=62.13±16.28, p<0.05). Conclusion: By understanding university students’ QoL in this global disaster, relevant authorities would provide a better rehabilitation and assistance to those affected ones.
