A human being´s pursuit is that of a better quality of life and the disabled naturally want to do so. But challenged people´s lives have not improved apace with the gneral development of our society as a whole. Specially, in a patrialrchal society like Korea, challenged women are in a less favorable situation. challenged women can enjoy more healthy and more happy life in a given condition.
Thus, in this research, we closely examined the women´s general characteristics, disabled characteristics, health condition(subjective health condition, experiences of diseases, stress value, etc), satisfaction value of life who have handicaps of limb or/and body. On the 17th of September through the 14th of October ´98, a nation-wide retardation campaign was held and 200 people were served by telephone. Then we analysed primary factors on quality of life.
As results, monthly income, how they think of heir economic level, their subjective health condition, and the stress level that the success depends on self influenced quality of life.
