生活质量量表最初是由美国心理学家约翰·弗拉纳根在20世纪70年代提出的，现已被用于慢性病患者。本文回顾了QOLS的发展和心理测量学测试。对出版的文献进行了描述性审查，并以常见问题格式总结了调查结果。对QOLS进行了信度、内容和结构效度检验，并进行了大量翻译。QOLS与身体健康状况和疾病衡量标准之间存在低到中等的相关性。然而，内容效度分析表明，该工具测量了不同慢性病患者群体定义为生活质量的领域。QOLS是衡量不同患者群体和文化的生活质量的有效工具，在概念上有别于健康状况或其他生活质量的因果指标。
The Quality of Life Scale (QOLS), created originally by American psychologist John Flanagan in the 1970's, has been adapted for use in chronic illness groups. This paper reviews the development and psychometric testing of the QOLS. A descriptive review of the published literature was undertaken and findings summarized in the frequently asked questions format. Reliability, content and construct validity testing has been performed on the QOLS and a number of translations have been made. The QOLS has low to moderate correlations with physical health status and disease measures. However, content validity analysis indicates that the instrument measures domains that diverse patient groups with chronic illness define as quality of life. The QOLS is a valid instrument for measuring quality of life across patient groups and cultures and is conceptually distinct from health status or other causal indicators of quality of life.
