| Abstrakt: | Background: There is a paucity of studies that have explored the quality of life (QoL) of nursing students in the Philippines. Objectives: The study assessed the QoL and identified the social determinants associated with the four domains of QoL among nursing students. Methods: This cross‐sectional study was conducted among 444 randomly selected baccalaureate nursing students in a university in the Philippines. The QoL was determined using an adapted WHOQOL‐BREF questionnaire (∝ = 0.89). Multiple linear regression determined the association between the variables of the study. Results: The students exhibited better scores in social relationships and environment than psychological and physical health domains of QoL. Physical health was significantly correlated to sex, hours of sleep, and medical condition, whereas sex, year level, academic load, hours of sleep, and medical condition were correlated to psychological domain. However, no significant association was noted between the factors and social relationships, but monthly allowance was positively correlated with the environment domain. Conclusions: Various social determinants influence the QoL; thus, it is essential to be considered as a critical element in planning the curriculum to improve the QoL among baccalaureate students.
