Overview

Quality of life (QoL) is a multidimensional construct describing an individual's perceived position in life in relation to their goals, expectations, and concerns, encompassing physical health, psychological state, level of independence, social relationships, and environment. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) narrows this to the domains most affected by illness and its treatment, and is typically captured with validated generic instruments and disease-specific questionnaires that yield comparable, quantifiable scores. Because QoL is subjective and multifactorial, its measurement relies on psychometrically sound scales, attention to responsiveness and minimal clinically important differences, and adaptation for specific populations such as people with intellectual disabilities or sensory impairment. The research in this area examines QoL in relation to visual impairment, type-2 diabetes self-management, orthorexia and eating behaviour, oral health, endometriosis and mental health, dementia, occupational stress among social workers, and the experience of older persons living with non-communicable diseases, frequently integrating biopsychosocial and path-analytic models that link clinical, psychological, and social determinants to wellbeing. QoL assessment matters because it complements survival and biomarker endpoints with the patient's own valuation of functioning and wellbeing, informing clinical decisions, service planning, and the evaluation of interventions. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on the measurement and determinants of quality of life across clinical and community populations.
