description Introduction. Lumbosacral spine pain increasingly impacts the quality of life for many individuals, affecting both physical and social aspects. Addressing this issue through effective prevention and treatment is crucial to mitigating its negative effects on society, especially in developed countries. Aim. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of sanatorium treatment on the quality of life of patients with lumbosacral spine pain syndrome. Material and Methods. The study was conducted on a group of 50 patients who were referred for sanatorium rehabilitation for a 28-day period. This group was selected on the basis of medical history and diagnosed lower lumbosacral pain syndrome not qualified for surgical treatment. Prospective research employed diagnostic survey methods using a questionnaire technique. Assessment of quality of life was conducted using a questionnaire constructed in two parts. The first part, developed by the authors, included questions regarding socio-demographic variables as well as questions related to the functional status, mental condition, and pain experienced by the patients. The second part was the standard SF-36 quality of life questionnaire. Results. The analysis of the conducted research indicates that sanatorium treatment significantly differentiates the quality of life assessment and its selected indicators (p<0.05) for general health perceptions (t=2.858; p=0.006), physical functioning (t=7.923; p=0.000), mental health (t=3.440; p=0.000), bodily pain (t=11.796; p=0.000), and social functioning (t=5.927; p=0.000). Conclusions. Quality of life assessment is higher after sanatorium treatment than before treatment. Selected indicators of quality of life, such as physical, mental, and social functioning, improved after sanatorium treatment. (JNNN 2024;13(3):106–111)
