WHOQOL-Bref
|
The WHOQOL (World Health Organisation Quality of Life) Bref is questionnaire asks how you feel about your quality of life, health and other areas of your life. Please
answer all the questions. If you are unsure about which response to give to a question, please choose the best one you can. There are no right or wrong answers. Your answer will be kept
strictly confidential. Please keep in mind your standards, hopes, pleasures and concerns. We ask that you think about your life in the last two weeks.
For example, thinking about the last two weeks, a question might ask:
How much do you worry about your health?
Not at all
Not much
A moderate amount
Very much
An extreme amount
You should choose the number that best fits how much you have worries about your health over the last two weeks. So you would choose the number 4 if you worried about your health “very
much”, or circle number 1 if you have worried “not at all” about your health. Please read each question, assess your feelings, and choose the number on the scale for each question that
gives the best answer for you.
