It is used to assess the quality of life of both healthy and sick people in clinical practice and addresses the following domains of quality of life: somatic functioning, psychological functioning, social functioning and community functioning. Social support assessed using Zimet's Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale - the original version on the MSPSS. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support takes into account the multidimensionality of perceived social support, considering three primary sources of support: significant other, family and friends. The scale consists of 12 statements, which the subject addresses using a seven-point Likert scale, where 1 means "strongly disagree" and 7 means "strongly agree."
