Abstract

Quality of Life is a term commonly used as well-being of individuals and societies including life satisfaction and happiness. World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) group defines quality of life as "individuals' perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns". 1,2 So this term is not a quantitative measurement assessed by medical techniques or laboratory procedures, but an attribution experienced subjectively by individuals. The main objective is to determine the extent to which people are satisfied with their physical, psychological and social functions and to what extent they are uncomfortable with the presence or absence of features related to these aspects of their lives. The definition of the WHOQOL on the quality of life includes six domains: physical domain, psychological domain, level of independence, social relationships, environment and spirituality beliefs. 1-3 In general, the list of domains that make up the quality of life of WHOQOL is an indication that quality of life is a broad multidimensional concept, and confirms the nature of the quality of life affected by all these domains (Table 1).
