Quality of life (QOL) has become an important outcome measure for many disorders, including mental illness. The Lancashire Quality of Life Profile (LQOLP) was developed for use in operational contexts, and has been translated into several languages. It is in use in several European and North American community psychiatric services. The present paper addresses the questions: how easy is it to use?; how reliable is it?; do the results of the LQOLP vary by setting in a meaningful way?; how do the results co-vary with measures of clinical symptoms and social functioning?; how well does it measure change?; is it clinically useful? While most of the answers to these questions are favourable, there is a need for further research and development of the profile, in particular with reference to the consequences of the use of the profile as a routine monitoring instrument and the most appropriate form of statistical analysis in longitudinal data-sets.
生活质量（QOL）已成为包括精神疾病在内的多种疾病的一项重要结局指标。兰开夏生活质量量表（LQOLP）是为实际应用而编制的，并且已被翻译成多种语言。它在欧洲和北美的一些社区精神科服务中得到应用。本文探讨以下问题：使用起来有多容易？可靠性如何？LQOLP的结果在不同环境下是否有显著差异？其结果与临床症状和社会功能测量指标如何共同变化？它对变化的测量效果如何？在临床上是否有用？尽管这些问题的大多数答案都是肯定的，但仍需要对该量表进行进一步的研究和开发，特别是关于将该量表用作常规监测工具的后果以及纵向数据集中最合适的统计分析形式。
