Used Epidata3.0Software to establish a database, and SAS9.1.3statistical software for data analysis.Statistical methods included descriptivestatistics, chi-square test, μ test, analysis of variance, SNK test, single factornon-conditional logistic regression, multi-factor non-conditions Logisticregression and etc.Results:1Basic situation: junior high school were surveyed841of Grade One and356of Grade Two,and high schools were surveyed1371students. Boys were1168(45.48%) and girls were1,400(54.52%), of which1197were junior secondarystudents,boys were519(43.36%) girls678(56.64%). For High schoolstudents,649were boys (47.34%) and girls were722(52.66%). Age rangewas from11to18years old, average age was15.78±2.09years old. 2Overall quality of life conditions: the low quality of life accounted for11%of the survey population, the more than worst quality of life accountedfor22%, moderate quality of life accounted for59%, the less than best qualityof life accounted for7%of the survey population, and the best quality of lifePercentage was only1%.67%of the children and adolescents' quality of lifewas in the medium or above.3Differences of overall quality of life status of boys and girls was statisticallysignificant (P <0.05).4The overall quality of life status for middle school and high school studentswas significant difference (P <0.05).5The overall quality of life status of a key urban junior high school, acounty-level cities key junior high school and a rural genaral junior highschool students had significant difference(P <0.01).6The overall quality of life status among a city and two counties high schoolstudents was statistically significant difference (P <0.05).7The overall quality of life situation between art and science students was nosignificant difference (P>0.05).8Study relatated factors and the quality of life conditions:8.1learning difficulties and quality of life:8.1.1Junior High school students had different learning difficulties, and thequality of life had a statistically significant difference (P <0.001),8.1.2High school students had different learning difficulties, and the qualityof life had a statistically significant difference (P <0.001),8.2learning burden and quality of life:8.2.1The burden of learning difficults among junior high school students,significantly affected the quality of life (P <0.001),8.2.2The burden of learning difficults among senior high school students,significantly affected the quality of life (P <0.001).9Surfing the Internet and quality of students life.9.1Whether surfing can improve their study among junior high schoolstudents, significantly affected the quality of life (P <0.001), 9.2Whether surfing can improve their study among senior high schoolstudents, significantly affected the quality of life (P <0.001).10Factors affected the quality of life in multivariate analysis shows:For thejunior students,age,schedule,father education level,parents' feelings andamateur hobbies are factors that improve their quality of life. For the seniorstudents, schedule,parents' feelings and amateur hobbies are factors thatimprove their quality of life.Conclusions:1The overall quality of life for children and adolescents in Hebei Provincewas at the middle level, only1%of the students' quality of life was in the bestlevel, indicating that the quality of life of children and adolescents should tobe further improved.The quality of life of girls were better than that of theboys.

The overall quality of lifeconditions in the city High Schools were better than students in the counties.The overall quality of life status between art and science students were notstatistically significant.2For the junior high school, students with less learning difficulties had thehigher quality of life. For high school students, students with less learningdifficulties had the higher quality of life. For the the junior high schoolstudents, the less burden of learning, the higher quality of life. For the thesenior high school students, the less burden of learning, the higher quality oflife.For the the junior high school students, students who think surfing canimprove their study had the higher quality of life. For the the senior highschool students, students who think surfing can improve their study had thehigher quality of life.3Factors affected the quality of life in multivariate analysis shows:For thejunior students,age,schedule,father education level,parents' feelings andamateur hobbies are factors that improve their quality of life. For the senior students, schedule,parents' feelings and amateur hobbies are factors thatimprove their quality of life.
