This study's objective tested the utility of two quality of life (QOL) forms in a hospice setting. The compared forms were the McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire (MQOL) and the Hospice Quality of Life Index-Revised (HQLI). Using a crossover design, hospice nurses first administered one survey to eligible patients and then, in the study's second phase, administered the other survey to newly enrolled eligible patients. Nurses were interviewed regarding each form and possible changes in patient care that were made due to the assessment. Hospice care plans were reviewed looking for specific changes as a result of the surveys. The results showed that the QOL assessments were useful for the nurses in planning the care of the hospice patients and that the MQOL was preferred by the nurses over the HQLI.
本研究的目的是测试两种生活质量（QOL）量表在临终关怀环境中的效用。所比较的量表为麦吉尔生活质量问卷（MQOL）和修订版临终关怀生活质量指数（HQLI）。采用交叉设计，临终关怀护士首先向符合条件的患者发放一份调查问卷，然后在研究的第二阶段，向新纳入的符合条件的患者发放另一份调查问卷。就每份量表以及因评估而可能在患者护理方面做出的改变对护士进行了访谈。审查临终关怀护理计划，以查找因调查而产生的具体变化。结果表明，生活质量评估对护士规划临终关怀患者的护理很有用，并且护士更喜欢MQOL而非HQLI。
