摘要
Fifty subjects were interviewed to determine the items or issues which they considered as reflecting quality of life and how important these items were in the event of a serious illness. Peace of mind, spiritual satisfaction and social satisfaction were considered to be very important by nearly 2 3 of the subjects. Individual's functioning and level of physical and psychological health were given much less significance. Level of satisfaction was valued much higher than the level of functioning. © 1991.
