Question

Whoqol 100 quality-of-life assessment in depression?

Answer 1

World Health Organization Quality of Life Survey (WHOQOL-100)

The WHOQOL-100 was developed simultaneously in 15 international centers. Development was through the process of item creation, focus groups, pilot tests, and field tests. From an initial global pool of 100 questions, 236 were selected for pilot studies. The final 100 items were grouped into one facet examining overall quality of life and general health perceptions, and 24 quality of life facets which were originally grouped into six larger domains: Physical, Psychological, Level of Independence, Social Relationships, Environment, and Spirituality. Subsequently, the domains of Independence and Spirituality were folded into the Physical and Psychological domains. Most of the participants completed the survey themselves, although a small number with literacy problems were given the survey as a structured interview. Items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale with only the anchor points being specified (never-always, etc.).
