In confronting the advances in the new treatment for incurable illnesses there is an increasing need for doctors to be aware of their patients' cognition and feeling related to their quality of life (QOL). Recognizing this need the authors translated and pilot tested the WHOQOL-100, a genuinely international measure of QOL by the World Health Organization (quality of life group). The WHOQOL-100 Malay version was pilot tested on 50 healthy controls and 250 ill subjects, suffering from hypertension, diabetes mellitus, those suffering from both hypertension and ischaemic heart disease, epilepsy and schizophrenia. The results showed several unique features of the QOL, which were influenced by different types of illnesses. The information obtained is different and probably not observable from clinical consultations. This study will be an impetus for further studies using the WHOQOL-100 assessment tool in the local population.
面对针对不治之症的新治疗方法的进展,医生越来越需要了解患者与生活质量(QOL)相关的认知和感受。认识到这一需求,作者翻译并对世界卫生组织(生活质量小组)真正的国际生活质量衡量标准WHOQOL-100进行了预试验。WHOQOL-100马来语版本在50名健康对照者和250名患病受试者中进行了预试验,这些患病受试者患有高血压、糖尿病、同时患有高血压和缺血性心脏病、癫痫和精神分裂症。结果显示了生活质量的几个独特特征,这些特征受到不同类型疾病的影响。所获得的信息是不同的,可能在临床会诊中无法观察到。这项研究将推动在当地人群中使用WHOQOL-100评估工具进行进一步研究。
