The purpose of this study was to develop and test a measure of quality of life meant for use in an outpatient cardiac population. This study was conducted in three phases. In the first, the aspects (elements) of daily living which should be included in a measure of life quality were determined. A total of 114 subjects were asked to indicate every item in a list of elements to be important or not important to the quality of daily living of cardiac outpatients. The subjects were comprised of: (a) clinic patients in whom permanent cardiac pacemakers had been implanted, (b) clients attending exerc

Abstract:

Quality of life is an increasingly popular construct to assess. A number of health-related quality of life measures have been developed for use with children who have health problems. However, it is recognised that quality of life is an important concern for all children and there is a clear need for the development of measures which are applicable to those who are well or unwell. This study aims to develop a reliable and valid version of the World Health Organisation Quality of Life Assessment (WHOQOL) for adolescents.

Abstract:

The adverse consequences of posttraumatic stress on quality of life have been well documented. It is, however, possible that it is not the intrusive re-experiencing and hyperarousal posttraumatic stress symptoms that have an impact on quality of life per se, but the inflexible efforts to avoid internal experiences and emotions related to the traumatic event, and the way these emotions are expressed and experienced. Previous research shows that both experiential avoidance and emotion regulation have been found to be etiologically central to the development and maintenance of psychological probl

Abstract:

The health-related quality of life (HRQL) of people with dementia has received growing attention in formulating decisions about the provision and financing of health and social care. There is a need for measurement perspectives to determine whether HRQL assessment has captured what is important to the target population, to generate a coherent body of evidence to guide clinical and policy decisions. The thesis first investigates if HRQL in dementia is meaningfully interpreted as a general phenomenon in which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Overall total scores on DEMQOL and DEMQ

Patients treated at the Uppsala Burn Center between 2000 and 2007 were included on a consecutive basis. Assessments were made at hospitalization, and thereafter and included a home visit 2 to 7 years after injury. The psychometric properties of the generic HRQoL instrument EQ-5D were investigated.

Abstract:

Obesity, particularly in the younger population, is a major public health concern. Because of this, numerous public health initiatives and specialised weight management interventions are available for this population. Economic evaluations of weight management interventions can be utilised to inform resource allocation decision making. But in order to provide fully informed economic evaluations of weight management interventions, a valid and reliable tool to a) measure weight specific quality of life (QoL) and b) assign preference values to different aspects of weight specific QoL is necessary.
