The purpose of this study was to investigate the influencing factors on health-related quality of life of physically disabled persons.METHOD:
Data was collected from 96 persons with a physical disability in three cities in Korea from June to September, 2003.

The Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale was used to measure self-esteem. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) was measured using Smith Kline Beecham Quality of Life Scale (SBQOL).
