| Description | Rating of quality of life is an ever more frequently mentioned phenomenon. The goal of our work was to evaluate chosen areas from the psychological dimension of quality of life in seniors living at social services facilities and who suffer from chronic non-malignant pain. The prospective study was based on participative observation and objectivising proband testing using the WHOQOL-100 questionnaire. To evaluate the psychological effects of pain, the depression questionnaire to Yesavage was used. The studied group involved 155 seniors (121 women and 34 men). |
