QoL assessments typically involve both subjective and objective measures. Commonly used tools include:
Questionnaires: Standardized questionnaires like the SF-36, WHOQOL-BREF, and EQ-5D assess various dimensions of QoL. Interviews: Structured or semi-structured interviews provide deeper insights into patients' experiences and perceptions. Observations: Nurses may observe patients' interactions and daily activities to gather information about their QoL.
