Quality of life (QOL) is a critical, prevalent, and enduring concept in oncology nursing research and practice. QOL is a paramount issue in the consideration of treatment, goal planning, and decision making for individuals with cancer, their families, and their care providers. Journals, well-developed valid and reliable instruments, and multiple conceptual models and frameworks are devoted to QOL. This column will review two broad conceptual aspects to consider in relation to QOL. First, conceptual considerations will be discussed for the definition and measurement of QOL. Second, conceptual issues related to QOL as an outcome will be discussed.
生活质量（QOL）是肿瘤护理研究与实践中的一个关键、普遍且持久的概念。对于癌症患者及其家属和护理人员而言，在治疗考量、目标规划及决策制定过程中，生活质量是一个至关重要的问题。众多期刊、完善的有效且可靠的工具以及多个概念模型和框架都围绕着生活质量展开。本专栏将审视与生活质量相关的两个广泛的概念层面。首先，将讨论生活质量定义与测量方面的概念考量。其次，将探讨与生活质量作为一种结果相关的概念问题。
