Various factors, like gender, marital status, and medical speciality, affect these outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Aims:<\/jats:title>\n This study explored the association between QoL and sociodemographic factors among resident doctors to enhance their well-being and professional satisfaction in tertiary care hospitals.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Settings and Design:<\/jats:title>\n Cross-sectional study.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n The study was conducted on 50 resident doctors aged between 23 and 45 years of both genders, following ethical committee approval and informed consent. Sociodemographic data and lifestyle factors were collected, and the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire was used to assess QoL.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Statistical Analysis:<\/jats:title>\n \n The unpaired\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -test for comparing two means and ANOVA for more than two means, with a significance threshold of\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n The study found that most resident doctors were satisfied with QoL and general health. Environmental (63.4) and physical health (61.0) domains scored highest, while psychological health scored lowest (38.9). Social health was higher among married residents, while male residents had better physical and psychological health, which improved with age (>30 years). Exercise showed a significant positive association with social health (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.027).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n The study highlighted that though resident doctors reported satisfactory QoL and general health, psychological health is a key area of concern. Psychological health had the lowest score in four domains of QoL, varying by gender, age, and marital status.<\/jats:p>\n
