Background/Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between perceived health status, self-efficacy, and quality of life of female cleaning workers to provide basic data for health promotion. Methods/Statistical analysis: The subjects were 105 female cleaning workers in I city. We collected data using a self-report questionnaire comprising 19 general questions, three questions on perceived health status, 13 questions on self-efficacy, and 26 questions on the quality of life (QOL). Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA with Scheffé test, and Pearson’s correlation. Findings: The workers’ average perceived health status was 3.43 ± 0.67 points (range: 1–5 points), with a minimum value of 2.00 points and a maximum value of 5.00 points. Their average self-efficacy score was 3.01 ± 0.44 points (range 1–4), with a minimum value of 1.00 points and a maximum value of 4.00 points. Their average QOL score was 3.04 ± 0.41 points (range: 1–5), with a minimum value of 1.96 points and a maximum value of 3.96 points. Perceived health status and self-efficacy (r = .255, p = .009), perceived health status and QOL (r = .269, p = .006), and self-efficacy and QOL (r = .320, p = .001) were significantly positively correlated. Improvements/Applications: We gathered basic data on health management, investigating the relationship between perceived health status, self-efficacy, and QOL among female cleaning workers.
