There is an increasing amount of data on quality of life (QOL) in most chronic illnesses; some of the instruments used are generic, but recently, there is a tendency to use disease-specific instruments. We propose that recipients of organ transplants be assessed routinely for QOL by means of the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey or a disease-specific instrument; for compliance, by means of the Long-Term Medication Behavior Self-Efficacy Scale; and for psychological status, by means of the Beck Depression Inventory Brief Symptom Inventory or the Symptom Checklist. The widespread use of QOL data in recipients of organ transplants will increase accountability of service providers and eventually increase patient satisfaction because these instruments are patient reported.
关于大多数慢性病患者生活质量（QOL）的数据越来越多；所使用的一些工具是通用的，但最近有使用疾病特异性工具的趋势。我们建议，通过36项简短健康调查问卷或疾病特异性工具对器官移植受者的生活质量进行常规评估；通过长期用药行为自我效能量表评估依从性；通过贝克抑郁量表、简明症状量表或症状清单评估心理状态。在器官移植受者中广泛使用生活质量数据将提高服务提供者的责任感，并最终提高患者满意度，因为这些工具是患者报告的。
