Experimental design, materials and methodsHere, 420 students at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences were studied in 2017. Moreover,research samples were selected in two stages. In the first stage, out of seven colleges affiliated toKermanshah University of Medical Sciences, three colleges (health, nursing and midwifery) wereselected, and in the second stage, the samples were selected through multistage cluster sampling andCochran sample size formula.Further, the ethical principles employed included obtaining the necessary permits, retaining therights for the schools being researched to either accept or reject to participate, and ensuringthe confidentiality and non disclosure of the personal information of samples. Then questionnaireswere distributed among the target sample. To this end, the objectives were explained to the targetsubjects Informed consent was obtained from all participants before data was collected. Not tomention, the exclusion criteria were the samples disinterested in participation in the study andhanding over incomplete questionnaires.As for data collection, three questionnaires were used: a demographic questionnaire, a researcher-made leisure time questionnaire, and the health-related quality of life questionnaire by Ware andSherbourne.Demographic Questionnaire: It consisted of seven items: gender, age, place of birth, marital status,residence, education, and faculty.Leisure Time Questionnaire:This 45-item instrument was developed by the researcher to assessthe status of spending leisure by the samples under data article. In the formulation of this ques-tionnaire, the studies conducted by the National Youth Organizations about the young's leisure timeand lifestyles were reviewed [2–9,1,10–14]. The questions were carefully designed and tailored to thestudents’ conditions. The subscales of this questionnaire were in-person communications (3 items),training classes (6 items), recreational activities (14 items), data article (3 items), artistic activities(3 items), unplanned activities (5 items), sports activities (5 items), and religious activities (6 items).Furthermore, the questions were answered on a five-point Likert scale: everyday (100), several days aweek (75), several days a month (50), rarely (25), never (0).Each question had a score in the range ofzero to 100. A score of zero means that the person does not do the activity under data article, whereasa score of 100 indicates that the person is highly engaged in doing the activity.The face and contentvalidities of the instrument were confirmed by the health and sociology experts. In addition, thereliability of the instrument was confirmed through calculating the Cronbach's alpha (0.84).P. Abbasi et al. / Data in Brief 21 (2018) 122–12712636-item Short Form Survey (SF-36):This 36-item scale, developed in America by Ware and Sher-bourne [1,15–18] was designed for assessing health and quality of life.The subscales of this ques-tionnaire were physical functioning (10 items), limitations related to physical problems (4 items),emotional role functioning (3 items), vitality (3 items), mental health (6 items), social role functioning(2 items), bodily pain (2 items), general health perceptions (6 items) [16,19,20]. A score ranging from0 (indicating the worse health status) to 100 (indicating the best health status) was assigned for eachdomain [18]. Furthermore, the Cronbach's alpha was used to determine the reliability of thisinstrument (0.85) [21]. Additionally, this instrument was standardized by Montazeri et al. [22]. inIran, too (0.70).Furthermore, for data analysis, the descriptive (frequency distribution, mean, and standarddeviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient) were employed in the SPSSStatistics Software Version 23.0, and it should be noted that the related presumptions were examinedprior to the above-mentioned tests.AcknowledgmentThis project has been approved by Ethics committee of Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences(Ethics Code.
