What's important for quality of life to Indians--in relation to cancer
Soc Sci Med.
1991.
Abstract
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.
