Assessing the Efficacy of Quality of Life Evaluations in the Management of Chronic Illnesses

Abstract

Taking care of people with chronic illnesses usually needs a complex method that focuses on both improving their health and quality of life (QoL). This essay gives an in-depth look at how QoL ratings are used and how well they work in managing chronic diseases. We want to find out how to improve QoL ratings so that treatments work better and patients are happier by carefully looking at a number of different assessment tools, such as both subjective patient-reported results and objective measures. Quality of life (QoL) tests are important for learning about how chronic illnesses affect daily life, mental health, and social relationships. Our results show that patient-centered methods that take into account personal thoughts and feelings are very important for getting a true picture of how hard chronic diseases are. We also look at the link between better QoL and clinical interventions. Our findings show that customised treatment plans that include both medical and psychological parts of care are often linked to better QoL results. The paper also talks about the problems with the way QoL is currently measured, like how different measurement tools are used in different hospital situations and how there isn't any standardisation. The paper suggests a way to use technology, like electronic health records and mobile health apps, in regular quality of life tests. These tools can give us data in real time and help with long-term tracking.
