Improvement in self-reported quality of life with cognitive therapy for recurrent major depressive disorder
2014, Journal of Affective DisordersCitation Excerpt :Quality of life (QoL), a measure of well-being, has gained recent attention in treatment of depression (Bech, 2005; Frisch et al., 2005; Grant et al., 1995; Ishak et al., 2011; Kilnkman, 2009; Papakostas et al., 2004; Frisch, 2009). Quality of life can be assessed using a variety of instruments such as Quality of Life in Depression Scale (Mckenna and Hunt, 1992; Tuynman-Qua et al., 1997), Quality of Well-Being Scale (Kaplan et al., 1998), Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Endicott et al., 1993), Quality of Life Inventory (Frisch et al., 2005) and WHO Quality of Life Assessment Instruments (Skevington et al., 2004; Skevington and Wright, 2001). Here we used the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q; (Endicott et al., 1993), a frequently used QoL measure, that evaluates patients׳ enjoyment and satisfaction with different aspects of their lives through its eight summary scales of physical health, subjective feelings, work, household duties, school/course work, leisure time activities, social relationships and general activities (Endicott et al., 1993).
Development and validation of the Asthma Life Impact Scale (ALIS)
2010, Respiratory MedicineCitation Excerpt :Each transcript was read by 2 experienced researchers independently with patients' comments being highlighted and extracted if they represented expressions of how asthma affected their lives. The needs-based quality of life model16–18 was used as the conceptual framework for the ALIS. This model asserts that QoL is dependent on an individual's ability to fulfill fundamental needs and that QoL is high when these needs are met.
Gender differences in major depressive disorder: Somatic symptoms and quality of life
2009, Revista de Psiquiatria y Salud MentalEvaluation of the psychometric properties of the Hungarian quality of life in depression scale
2008, European PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :The quality of life in depression scale (QLDS) was designed to assess the impact of depression on the quality of life (QoL) of patients. It is a self-report questionnaire developed in parallel in the UK and The Netherlands employing the ‘needs-based model’ of QoL [4,6]. In recent years conceptually equivalent versions of the instrument have been developed for several languages [7,2,1].
OAKHQOL: A new instrument to measure quality of life in knee and hip osteoarthritis
2005, Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :The concept of the OAKHQOL is based on the WHO definition of QoL. Content analysis of the tape-recorded transcripts elucidated different facets of the functionalist approach to QoL and of the needs-based model [38–42] and confirmed that patients expressed the impact of disease in terms of the needs they were unable to meet. When comparing the OAKHQOL to the SF36, many themes were exclusive to the OAKHQOL (e.g.: social support, sleep, side effects of drugs, plan for the future, the embarrassment to be seen by people, the use of public transportation, the difficulty to move after staying in the same position, and sexuality).
