Routledge Individual Quality of Life - Assessment Book

While the concept of Quality of Life has gained attention in the medical profession for over thirty years, a universal agreement on its definition and evaluation remains elusive. Much of the existing literature focuses on population-based studies, primarily within the realms of health policy and health economics. This leaves a significant gap regarding how quality of life is experienced and measured at the individual level. Individual Quality of Life: Approaches to Conceptualisation and Assessment addresses this neglect by focusing on the personal dimension of well-being. By shifting the perspective away from broad population statistics, this work explores the methods used to understand and evaluate the specific experiences of individuals. It provides necessary insights for those looking to move beyond general health policy to understand the personal realities of health and life satisfaction.
