Assessment of quality of life has attracted increasing interest in recent years. A standardized way of evaluating quality of life is by using questionnaires. One such, the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), measures health-related quality of life within the sections of energy, sleep, emotions, pain, mobility and social isolation as well as the frequency of health-related problems pertaining to paid employment, housework, hobbies, family life, social life, sex life and holidays. The NHP is well-documented with regard to reliability and validity, and is useful in describing the impact of chronic disease. The NHP is, moreover, a useful evaluative tool in patients with more pronounced disability.
近年来，生活质量评估已引起越来越多的关注。评估生活质量的一种标准化方法是使用问卷。其中一种问卷，即诺丁汉健康量表（NHP），在精力、睡眠、情绪、疼痛、活动能力和社会孤立等方面以及与带薪工作、家务、爱好、家庭生活、社交生活、性生活和假期相关的健康问题发生频率方面，对与健康相关的生活质量进行测量。NHP在可靠性和有效性方面有充分的文献记载，并且有助于描述慢性病的影响。此外，NHP对于残疾更明显的患者是一种有用的评估工具。
