AB  - With the global economic crisis and industrial restructuring, the unemployed are 
      suffering from job loss-related stress and loss of income, which is believed to 
      impair their mental and physical health, while coping and self-efficacy could 
      combat the adverse effects of unemployment on health. Thus, this study aims to 
      describe quality of life (QOL) among unemployed Chinese people and explore the 
      associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted by convenience 
      sampling, composed of 1825 unemployed people, from January 2011 to September 
      2011. Questionnaires pertaining to demographic characteristics, the 36-item 
      Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), the abbreviated version of the Cope Inventory 
      (Brief COPE) and self-efficacy scales were used to collect information from 
      unemployed people in the eastern, central, and western regions of China. 
      Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to explore the related 
      factors of QOL. A structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the relations 
      among coping, self-efficacy, and QOL. Mental QOL was significantly lower than 
      physical QOL in Chinese unemployed people. Coping had significant effects on both 
      physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS), while 
      self-efficacy played the mediating role in the association between Coping and 
      QOL. Unemployed Chinese people's mental QOL was disrupted more seriously than 
      their physical QOL. An increase in coping could improve QOL by promoting better 
      management of issues brought about by unemployment. In addition, self-efficacy 
      has the ability to reduce the impact of unemployment on QOL, through the 
      mediating path of coping on QOL. This study highlights the need of coping skills 
      training and self-efficacy enhancement for better management of unemployment in 
      order to improve QOL and well-being.
