Quality of Life Assessment

چکیده
The definition of quality of life is complex and often depends on the investigator or organization (Dijkers 1999). The World Health Organization defines health as “a state of complete physical/mental, social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (World Health Organization 1947). Conceptually, quality of life can be divided into health-related (with physical, psychological, social, and spiritual subdomains) and non-health related (with personal, social interaction, societal, and environmental subdomains). Healthrelated quality of life (HRQoL) is increasingly utilized for the measurement of treatment effects in oncology clinical trials, to measure the burden/impact of disease in individuals and groups, and for use by individual patients, investigators, clinicians, and policy-makers to assist in decision making (Guyatt and Veldhuyzen 1989).
