                    Objective (s): To determine quality of life among midwives in different wards in hospitals in Hamdan, Iran.
Methods: This was a descriptive study. Research community included all midwives working in maternity and midwifery departments in Fatemiyeh hospital (state), Bu-Ali Hospital (Private) and Atieh Hospital (affiliated to the Social Security Organization). The short form health survey (SF-36) was used to measure health-related quality of life.
Results: The results indicated that midwives working in obstetrics wards had a better health-related quality of life in all domains as measured by the SF-36. 
Conclusion: The findings suggest that working in environments that are more related to educational backgrounds of midwives might improve health-related quality of life in this population.
