Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Quality of life reflects both the impact of the associated disease and the treatment used on daily functioning. Research on the quality of life of chronically ill patients contributes to identifying the physical, psychological and social effects of the disease and its treatment, and developing interventions to improve the patients' overall well-being. Identifying factors that affect the perception of QOL is essential for physicians and medical staff to provide effective care. Understanding these potential factors can help tailor care plans to meet individual patients' needs, as well as to improve support for their families. These actions can, in turn, lead to improved therapeutic outcomes and increased patient satisfaction with medical care.
This Special Issue aims to systematize and expand the knowledge of quality of life in chronic diseases, as well as factors that increase quality of life and barriers to achieving treatment benefits.
This Special Issue is open for submission from any interested individuals. It is expected that contributions will include original research papers, authoritative and up-to-date reviews, and commentaries on the following topics and areas: health, quality of life and factors affecting quality of life and the patient’s outcome.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Natalia Świątoniowska-Lonc
