“…The Life Satisfaction Questionnaire ('Fragebogen zur Lebenszufriedenheit'; FLZ) [28] consists of modules for each, general life satisfaction and health, however, only the two relationship-relevant dimensions of general life satisfaction (family life/children and partner relationship/sexuality) are analyzed [29]. All respondents rate the subjective importance of each dimension and their present satisfaction with each dimension on scales from 1 (not important/dissatisfied) to 5 (extremely important/very satisfied).…”

BackgroundThe Bielefeld Partnership Expectations Questionnaire (BFPE) is a tool to assess attachment in the romantic relationships of adults. The attachment styles are operationalized as configuration patterns of scale scores. While convergent validity has already been investigated, discriminant validity is still lacking confirmation.MethodsThe present sample (n = 1509) is representative for the German population aged 18 to 50. The mean age was 34.6 years. Most of the participants lived in a relationship (77.3 %). Discriminant validity was analyzed using a marital quality questionnaire (PFB), a social support questionnaire (F-Soz-U K-14), and a life satisfaction questionnaire (FLZ).ResultsAll the BFPE scales have a satisfying internal consistency between r = .79 and .86. Those individuals who showed a secure pattern, i.e. increased "Readiness for Self-Disclosure" and "Conscious Need for Care" as well as reduced "Fear of Rejection" experienced their partner as socially supportive, reported higher marital quality in all of its facets, and were more satisfied within the life-domains "family/children" and "relationship/sexuality". Standard values for each scale are presented.ConclusionsThe BFPE has repeatedly been verified as a short, reliable, and valid instrument applicable to research practice with healthy individuals as well as within clinical contexts.

“…Subjects’ method of hormonal treatment at baseline (continuous combination hormonal therapy or NA monotherapy) did not affect QOL scores. When compared to published scores for adolescents and young adults with cystic fibrosis, 14 juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, 15 and polycystic ovary syndrome, 16 adolescents with endometriosis had lower scores on both physical health and mental health subscales (Table 3). …”

Study Objective Use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) to treat endometriosis can cause mood and vasomotor side effects. “Add-back therapy,” the addition of low dose hormones, limits side effects but research is limited to adults. We sought to characterize quality of life (QOL) before treatment and to compare an add-back regimen of norethindrone acetate (NA) + conjugated estrogens (CEE) to NA alone for preventing side effects of GnRHa therapy in adolescents with endometriosis. Design 12-month double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Setting Pediatric Gynecology clinic in Boston, Massachusetts. Participants 50 females (age 15–22y) with surgically-confirmed endometriosis initiating treatment with GnRHa. Intervention Subjects were randomized to: NA (5 mg/d) + CEE (0.625 mg/d) or NA (5 mg/d) + placebo. All subjects received leuprolide acetate depot every 3 months. Main Outcome Measures The Short Form 36-v2 Health Survey, Beck Depression Inventory-II, and Menopause Rating Scale were completed at repeated intervals. Results At baseline, subjects reported impaired physical health-related QOL when compared to national norms (all p<0.0001). Over 12 months, these SF-36 scores improved (all p<0.05). Subjects receiving NA+CEE showed greater improvements in Pain, Vitality, and Physical Health subscales (pbetween <0.05) than those receiving NA alone, as well as better Physical Functioning (p<0.05). There were no changes in depression or menopause-like symptoms in either group. Conclusion Adolescents with endometriosis initiating GnRHa therapy have impaired QOL. Treatment with GnRHa plus add-back led to improved QOL, with no worsening of mood or menopausal side effects. NA+CEE was superior to NA alone for improving physical health-related QOL.

“…To implement studies on young children, the QoL instruments have to be of a generic character to encompass the various domains which comprise QoL. A suitable QoL instrument should include negative and positive states of physical, mental, and social domains, and adding questions of family, school, autonomy, leisure time activity, and the child’s environment [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. Instruments for children must be short, simple, and easy to complete, taking into account cognitive developmental level in reading skills and emotional maturity to match different developmental stages [10,11].…”

Background: Quality of life (QoL) studies may provide information of change in health status in the population. Few studies have followed up previous cross-sectional studies to investigate any change in the QoL status of healthy children. The aim of the current study is to compare QoL in children 6–12 years old in two large cross-sectional studies of healthy children completed a decade apart. Methods: In the current study children and parents from nine elementary schools (n = 2816) were included in a cross-sectional study investigating children’s QoL. Using the Life Quality in Children and Adolescents (ILC), completed by both children and parents, the global QoL-score was estimated for 2297 children and 1639 parental reports. These results were compared to a similar study performed in 2004. The scores from both studies were divided into categories of below average, average and above average QoL. The percentage change of QoL between the two studies is presented. Results: Our results show that parents report that more children have below and above average QoL in 2015 compared to 2004. In contrast, more children scored in the average and above average QoL category in 2015 than in 2004. Conclusion: Parents reported lower QoL and children higher QoL in 2015 compared to 2004.

Abstract: The different validity of the instruments has to be considered in chosing a questionnaire appropriate to the purpose of measuring. Shortcomings of each instrument can be overcome by multimethod designs and by developing disease-specific scales.
