STRESZCZENIE

Celem pracy była ocena wpływu korzystania z leczenia uzdrowiskowego na jakość życie osób starszych. Badaniem objęto 18 kobiet i 22 mężczyzn po 60. życia. Posłużono się metodą sondażu diagnostycznego - kwestionariusza ankiety zawierającego pytania zamknięte oraz otwarte, dotyczące subiektywnej oceny własnej jakości życia, a także leczenia uzdrowiskowego i jego wpływu na zdrowie oraz samopoczucie.

Badanie to pozwoliło na stwierdzenie, iż dzięki leczeniu sanatoryjnemu, jakość życia kuracjuszy po 60. roku życia wyrażona ich subiektywną oceną poprawia się. Potwierdza to hipotezę zakładającą, że osoby starsze chętnie korzystające
z leczenia uzdrowiskowego cechują się wyraźnie wyższą jakością życia.
