Patient Quality of Life

Patient Quality of Life (QoL) refers to an individual's overall well-being and life satisfaction, particularly concerning their health status. It considers physical health, emotional well-being, social interactions, and daily functioning. In healthcare, assessing QoL helps understand how a disease or treatment affects a patient's everyday life, including their ability to work, enjoy activities, and maintain relationships. Improving QoL is crucial in treatment plans because it reflects the patient's personal experience and priorities, ensuring that care is centered around what matters most to them.
