Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL)
"Health-related quality of life" (HRQL) is an individual's satisfaction or happiness with domains of life insofar as they
affect or are affected by "health" as defined above. HRQL can be distinguished from quality of life as we defined it
earlier in that it concerns itself primarily with those factors that fall under the purview of health care providers and
health care systems 6.
Generally speaking, then, assessment of HRQL represents an attempt to determine how variables within the dimension
of health (e.g., a disease or its treatment) relate to particular dimensions of life that have been determined to be
important to people in general (generic HRQL) or to people who have a specific disease (condition-specific HRQL). Most
conceptualizations of HRQL emphasize the effects of disease on physical, social/role, psychological/emotional, and
cognitive functioning. Symptoms, health perceptions, and overall quality of life are often included in the concept
domain of HRQL4.
