The SF-36 Health Survey is a generic instrument for assessment of the health-related quality of life of patients. Originally developed in the U.S. and used in the Medical Outcomes Study, the SF-36 is the empirically validated short form of outcome assessment instruments developed for this study. The SF-36 assesses 8 subscales of the health-related quality of life, or subjective health, which are conceptually subsumed in the areas of "physical" and "mental" health. On the basis of a translation of the instrument into the German language, the results of psychometric testing of the SF-36 in different populations of healthy and ill persons are described. In addition, the results of a norming study and the use of these data as age- and gender-specific reference information for clinical populations are demonstrated. In its German form as well, the SF-36 appears to be a psychometrically robust and practicable instrument for use in outcome evaluation in rehabilitative medicine.
SF-36健康调查是一种用于评估患者健康相关生活质量的通用工具。SF-36最初在美国开发并用于医疗结果研究，是为该研究开发的经实证验证的简短形式的结果评估工具。SF-36评估健康相关生活质量的8个分量表，即主观健康，从概念上讲，这些分量表包含在“身体”和“精神”健康领域中。在将该工具翻译成德语的基础上，描述了SF-36在不同健康和患病人群中的心理测量测试结果。此外，还展示了一项常模研究的结果以及将这些数据用作临床人群年龄和性别特异性参考信息的情况。以德语形式呈现时，SF-36似乎也是一种心理测量稳健且实用的工具，可用于康复医学的结果评估。
