The questionnaire for the quality of life with chronic wounds (Wound-QoL) is a valid and reliable instrument to determine the disease-specific health-related QoL of patients with chronic wounds. For the interpretation of HRQoL scores, it is additionally important to know which differences in scores are considered meaningful. The minimal important difference (MID) is defined as a change in HRQoL that a patient would consider meaningful, such that the patient would judge a treatment to be beneficial and worthy of repeating.

Background and aims: The Wound-QoL is a validated and feasible questionnaire for measuring disease-specific health-related quality of life in chronic wounds, originally developed for use in German.

The objective of this study was to translate the Wound-QoL for use in clinical care and in clinical trials in Spain and to validate this version.

Establishing romantic relationships involving cohabitation and/or sexual intercourse is an overriding task for many people during emerging adulthood, i.e. from their late teens through the twenties. The diagnosis of anogenital psoriasis may hinder social/intimate relationships, resulting in higher disease burden in this age group.

People with chronic wounds perceive an impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). For the assessment of HRQoL, valid instruments are needed. Therefore, the Wound-QoL questionnaire was originally developed and psychometrically validated for use in Ger- many. As the Wound-QoL is to be used in numerous countries, international versions are required. Therefore, this study aimed to psychometrically validate the U.S. English Wound-QoL version. Upon translation into U.S. English, psychometric testing was per- formed based on cross-sectional data deriving from the U.S. Wound Registry.

In pediatric settings, a valid and reliable assessment of negative and positive dimensions of caregiving can inform intervention processes and improve parent–child adaptation outcomes. While caregiving is a normative component of parenting, the experience can be quantitatively and/or qualitatively different for parents of children with a chronic health condition. The aim of this study was to systematically examine the psychometric properties of the “Revised Burden Measure” in a sample of parents of children with and without chronic health conditions. The “Revised Burden Measure” and self-reported measures of quality of life and mental health were administered to a sample of parents who had children with (n=277) or without (n=117) chronic health conditions.

The DISABKIDS questionnaires (1) were devel- oped in 2006 simultaneously in seven European countries, namely Germany, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, France, Greece, Sweden and Austria. They include a set of developmentally ap- propriate and cross-culturally comparable ques- tionnaires for assessing health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in children/adolescents between 8 and 18 years of age.

Little is known about the quality of life (QoL) of adults with cerebral palsy (CP). This systematic review aimed to examine the extent to which methodological best practices have been applied to achieve valid and informative QoL assessments for this population.

Objective – First, to compare prosocial behaviors and psychological maladjustment between children, preadolescents and adoles- cents with and without chronic health conditions; and second, to test the direct and indirect effects, via psychological problems, of prosocial behavior on quality of life (QoL). In addition, the invariance of this model was examined across different age groups and health conditions.
