摘要: PURPOSE: Despite the increasing importance of assessing quality life (QoL) in patients with advanced cancer, relatively little is known about individual patient's perceptions issues contributing to their QoL. The Schedule for Evaluation Individual Quality Life (SEIQoL) and shorter SEIQoL–Direct Weighting (SEIQoL-DW) assess individualized QoL using a semistructured interview technique. Here we report findings from first administration SEIQoL SEIQoL-DW incurable cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: was assessed on single occasion 80 RESULTS: All were able complete SEIQoL-DW, 78% completed SEIQoL. Of possible score 100, median global as follows: SEIQoL, 61 (range, 24 94); 60.5 6 95). Psychometric data indicated very high levels internal consistency (median r = .90) validity ...
