Secondary outcomes

Before intervention

Time frame: Before intervention

Pre-Intervention Life Satisfaction This scale was developed to assess how an individual perceives their quality of life. The scale was created by condensing the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment scale to 26 questions. During the validity studies of the Turkish version, a national question was added, bringing the total number of questions to 27, and the Turkish version was finalized. Comprising closed-ended questions, the scale consists of the following subdimensions: general health, physical, social, environmental, and psychological. The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 0, and the maximum score is 100. An increase in the score indicates an improvement in quality of life.
