(2) Most of them worried about their disease or dietary cure, and had a wish to consult the problems concerning their physical or psychosocial health and their daily life with the doctors or the nurses. (3) 69.5% of the subjects had less problems, but 21.7% had more than 4 problems. (4) 84.7% of the subjects had a life's worth. The more they made an effort for a happy life, the more they had a life's worth.
