The World Health Organisation Quality Of Life - BREF (WHOQOL-BREF)


The World Health Organisation Quality Of Life - BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) is a 26-item self-reported measure which was developed to evaluate the individual's perceptions in the context of their culture and value systems, and their personal goals, standards and concerns. The WHOQOL-BREF measures the following domains: physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. A higher score indicates a higher quality of life while a lower score indicates a lower quality of life.
Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert scale (1 to 5). The score of the items 3, 4 and 26 should be inversed. For more information about the score calculation of the WHOQOL BREF , please visit : https://www.who.int/mental_health/media/en/76.pdf
