PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was to find out whether there is interdependence between the @entity1 - assessments of biological, psychological, psychosocial and spiritual levels. METHODS: 590 subjects, both ill and healthy, were examined by appropriate means and asked to consider their level of fear, @entity308 (Hospital Anxiety and @entity308 Scale - Modification), @entity146 , quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire), and the purpose and meaning of life (The "PURPOSE in Life Test" - @entity9057 questionnaire). RESULTS: Three groups of @entity1 were established with the help of statistical procedures. The first group encompassed the healthy subjects, whereas the second and third included those that were ill. Although the subjects estimated their level of physical fitness and general quality of life similarly, there were some essential differences in their disease-associated reactions (i.e. the groups adjusted differently - the second group poorly and the third well). The majority of @entity1 suffering from @entity5 were well adapted to the early stages of the disease. As @entity5 progressed the percentage of those that adjusted poorly rose. However, even in the terminal stage some of the @entity1 , about 1/3, still belonged to the group of those that were quite well adjusted. Established meaning of life, system of values, and personal religion were factors that helped to adapt. CONCLUSIONS: There was no connection between the @entity1 ' assessments of their biological level and other (psychological, psychosocial, spiritual) levels. We can distinguish groups of @entity1 that judge their physical condition similarly and still vary in the assessment of their emotional state or meaning of life.
