THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF INFANTS BORN IN CRITICAL STATE
Abstract
The article is dedicated to the study of QUALIN questionnaire of infants’ quality of life born in critical state. 47 children were examined: 19 were born in critical state and 28 were conditionally healthy. It was shown that children born in critical state and treated in intensive care departments for a long time have lower quality of life during the first year of life than healthy children. A decrease of quality of life in children born in critical state may be related to the worse health state after severe diseases.
Key words: infants, quality of life, QUALIN questionnaire.
