Quality of Life Questionnaire: Framework and 20 Key Questions

Quality of life questionnaire

As experts in the field, we know that measuring and assessing an individual’s overall well-being can be tricky. But, fear not more as we’re here to introduce you to the ultimate tool for measuring the quality of life: the Quality of Life Questionnaire (QOLQ).

The QOLQ is a validated and reliable questionnaire that measures an individual’s physical, psychological, and social well-being. It consists of a set of questions that cover various aspects of quality of life, such as physical health, emotional well-being, social support, and overall satisfaction with life. Let’s discuss it!

What is a Quality of Life Questionnaire?

Quality of life questionnaire consists of a set of survey questions that can be used to collect data related to an individual in particular and society in general on various parameters that determine their general quality of life, their natural environment, their health, their living condition, their community, and more.

Quality of life is fast becoming a standard measure of outcomes in many clinical trials and clinical practices. There are many factors that are associated while measuring the quality of life, like physical health, physiological well-being, social relationships, functional roles and subjective sense of lifestyle satisfaction.

To collect the data that actually talks about the detailed analysis of an individual, quality of life questionnaire is essential. The primary objective to develop this questionnaire is that it should be easy to use, should reflect consumer values and goals, and collect appropriate data.

Quality of Life Questionnaire Framework

Quality of Life Questionnaire is a comprehensive questionnaire that covers various attributes of an individuals life. It covers a variety of demographic questions to get better quality data and information before analyzing the quality of life of an individual. The domains that should be covered while creating a quality of life questionnaire are as follows:

  1. Overall Level of Satisfaction: This level of satisfaction can be about multiple aspects like satisfaction with the living environment, the quality of food, the overall level of hygiene, clothes to wear and mental health. The questionnaire should consist of question that will ask the respondent about their overall level of satisfaction with the living conditions.
  2. Occupation: The questions focus on the time an individual spends to earn his/her living. About the workplace and if an individual is satisfied or not with it. This question is important as an average American spends 56 hours at his/her workplace. Considering the amount of time spent at work, it is an important segment.
  3. Mental Health: Among other things, mental well-being or mental health-related questions need to be an integral part of the quality of life questionnaire. Emotional well-being is an aspect that is not talked about often as it should be. Evaluating mental health is important.
  4. Physical Health: Physical health is another important attribute that needs to be included in the quality of life questionnaire. If physical health is compromised most of the tasks even the routine ones cannot be carried out.
  5. Financial stability: This section focused on the economic development and aspect of an individual. The questions in this section should be able to extract information about how much control individual exercises on his/her financial resources. The questions should also be directed to ask what would an individual do if faced with the lack of financial resources.
  6. Alcohol and Drugs: In this sections questions pertaining to individuals habits should be asked. Alcohol and drug abuse is a common issue in the U.S. 9.4% of the total population use or have used an illicit drug. This section must cover questions that ask respondents about these abuses.
