The quality of life (QoL) score is used to evaluate the impact of ACS treatments on the patients\u2019 physical, emotional, and social functioning. It is considered a significant indicator of the progress of the patients\u2019 health status and is useful in predicting patients\u2019 needs for continuing, modifying, or changing their treatment plans. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p> To identify the associations between patients\u2019 characteristics and the QoL among ACS patients in Jordan. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p> A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sample of 372 participants with ACS from six referral hospitals in Jordan. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Jordanian patients with higher educational level and exercise had significant and positive association with QoL (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.257, p\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.191, p\u2009&lt;\u2009.001), respectively.
