Quality of life is a construct of intense interest to researchers and clinicians and is especially important with cardiovascular patients in recovery settings where the goal of care is to return the patient to a life style not diminished by illness or treatment. This article presents a discussion of a number of issues related to assessment of quality of life in recovery settings, including definition and dimensions of the construct, measurement, and design. Model development and testing is recommended as a crucial step in increasing the understanding of quality of life in this patient population.
生活质量是研究人员和临床医生极为关注的一个概念，对于处于康复阶段的心血管疾病患者尤为重要，因为在这种情况下，护理的目标是让患者恢复到不因疾病或治疗而受影响的生活方式。本文讨论了与康复环境中生活质量评估相关的若干问题，包括该概念的定义和维度、测量方法以及设计。建议将模型开发和测试作为增进对这一患者群体生活质量理解的关键步骤。
