SF-36 (Short Form Health Survey)

The SF-36 (Short Form Health Survey) is a questionnaire used to measure a person's overall health and well-being. It asks about different aspects of physical and mental health, such as energy levels, pain, emotional well-being, and ability to perform daily activities. The survey provides a comprehensive picture of how health impacts quality of life, allowing healthcare providers to assess changes over time or compare different groups. It's a valuable tool for understanding health status from the patient's perspective, guiding treatment decisions, and evaluating the effectiveness of healthcare interventions.
