WHOQOL: Assessment of Quality of Life in Patients After Lower Limb Amputation

Original language description

The aim of the research was to measure the quality of life and emotional experience in patients after lower limb amputation. For measurement of quality of life WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire was used. It examines quality of life in four domains, namely: in physical, psychological and social spheres and environment. For measurement of emotional experience PANAS scale was used. In the studied group of patients (n = 62) significantly lower score of quality of life was determined in physical, psychological and social spheres (not in domain environment) compared with reference population. Patients after amputation over 60 had significantly lower score of quality of life only in the physical sphere when compared with reference population over 60 years. However decreased quality of life in these patients also correlates with emotional balance in physical and psychological domains. Comprehensive interdisciplinary treatment is needed to improve the quality of life in these patients.
