Problem Adolescence is a period of biological, cognitive, psychosocial, and emotional development. Negative experiences of Coronavirus (COVID‐19) infection are associated with more changes which impacts on quality of life (QoL). However, parent‐proxy and child self‐reports may vary, and we have lack of knowledge about these discrepancies. The aim of this study was to identifying the impact of mother−daughter health education on female adolescents' QoL during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods This quasi‐experimental study was conducted at two time points; before (T1) and 3 months after health education thorough blended learning (T2) from January to May of 2020. Then 196 participants were divided into intervention ( N = 96) and control ( N = 100) groups and Health Related QoL was assessed using the PedsQL™. Results The results showed significant increase in scores of total QoL and all QoL domains in adolescents by self‐reports of adolescents and mothers proxy reports (except emotional performance) compared to the control group at T2 ( p < 0.05). Furthermore, mother's rated increase in social performance significantly higher in both groups at T2. Conclusions With high social anxiety due to COVID‐19, adolescents may be vulnerable to various risks. Improving mothers understanding of the needs of their adolescents are an important issue; given that it is possible increase their QoL by health education, especially during COVID‐19 pandemic.
