Abstract
This chapter presents the results of a study that sought to modify the level of quality of life reported by older adults institutionalized in a residential center. A quasiexperimental study of repeated measures was carried out, without a control group. The study was carried out in three stages. First, users were evaluated using the WHOQOLOLD BREF scale. Second, they were provided with treatment to modify their quality of life. Third, they were re-evaluated using the same scale. Adults in the care home reported a low level of quality of life before treatment. After treatment the levels increased. The Student t test was applied to compare the scores reported by the study participants before and after treatment. The result of this test allows us to attribute a statistically significant increase in quality of life to the treatment developed. This result is relevant in practical terms, because it partially suggests that the treatment is effective and can be expanded for clinical purposes.
