WHO Quality of life-BREF [WHOQOL_BREF]

Definition

  • The WHO Quality of Life - BREF's 26 questions assess quality of life in four areas, physical, psychological, social and environmental. Responses to each question are scored from 1 to 5. Raw scores for each area are summed and then converted to either a 4-20 scale, for comparison to WHOQOL-100, or a 0-100 scale for comparison across domains. Higher scores are associated with higher quality of life. The WHOQOL-BREF has been cross-culturally validated and is available in many languages. [PMID: 15085902]
