Swallowing Quality of Life Questionnaire (SQoL)

The Swallowing Quality of Life Questionnaire (SQoL) is a tool used to assess how swallowing difficulties impact a person's daily life and well-being. It asks individuals specific questions about their experiences with swallowing, such as how often they have problems, the comfort level, and the emotional effects. The goal is to understand how swallowing issues affect their overall quality of life, helping healthcare providers identify needs and plan effective treatments. In essence, SQoL offers insight into the personal and functional impact of swallowing challenges from the patient’s perspective.
