The data collection tool was a personal characteristics and disease list and a quality of life questionnaire (SF-36). Results: There were no significant differences in age group, marital status, education and place of residence. The groups were significantly different in terms of overall quality of life score (p=0.013) and in physical dimensions (p=0.001) and psychological symptoms (p=0.013).
