Background Nutrition care can positively affect multiple aspects of patient’s health; outcomes are commonly evaluated on the basis of their impact on a patient’s (i) illness-specific conditions and (ii) health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Our systematic review examined how HRQoL was measured in studies of nutritional interventions. To help future researchers select appropriate Quality of Life Questionnaires (QoLQ), we identified commonly-used instruments and their uses across populations in different regions, of different ages, and with different diseases. Methods We searched EMCare, EMBASE, and Medline databases for studies that had HRQoL and nutrition intervention terms in the title, the abstract, or the MeSH term classifications “quality of life” and any of “nutrition therapy”, “diet therapy”, or “dietary supplements” and identified 1,113 studies for possible inclusion.We then reviewed titles, abstracts, and full texts to identify studies for final inclusion. Results Our review of titles, abstracts, and full texts resulted in the inclusion of 116 relevant studies in our final analysis. Our review identified 14 general and 25 disease-specific QoLQ. The most-used general QoLQ were the Short-Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36) in 27 studies and EuroQol 5-Dimension, (EQ-5D) in 26 studies. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of life Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ), a cancer-specific QoLQ, was the most frequently used disease-specific QoLQ (28 studies). Disease-specific QoLQ were also identified for nutrition-related diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and dysphagia. Sixteen studies used multiple QoLQ, of which eight studies included both general and disease-specific measures of HRQoL. The most studied diseases were cancer (36 studies) and malnutrition (24 studies). There were few studies focused on specific age-group populations, with only 38 studies (33%) focused on adults 65 years and older and only 4 studies focused on pediatric patients. Regional variation in QoLQ use was observed, with EQ-5D used more frequently in Europe and SF-36 more commonly used in North America. Conclusions Use of QoLQ to measure HRQoL is well established in the literature; both general and disease-specific instruments are now available for use. We advise further studies to examine potential benefits of using both general and disease-specific QoLQ to better understand the impact of nutritional interventions on HRQoL.

“…Autonomy was respected by affording participants the choice of either program and allowing them the freedom of attending group sessions as they desired and as their life circumstances allowed. Contextual factors that can impact participant experiences with lifestyle programs (Whybird, 2020) were similar; both programs were (a) facilitated by the same exercise physiologist so participants experienced the same supervision style and facilitator personality, (b) conducted in community facilities of a not‐for‐profit organisation which contributes to the program ‘environment’ and (c) conducted in groups with other people recovering from mental illness, so there was similar opportunity for social support and development of relatedness. Factors that may undermine the internalisation of health behaviour were avoided: (a) The exercise physiologist focused on behaviour change rather than meeting externalised goals such as weight loss and (b) Participants received a free gym membership (GYM) or free fitness tracker (MOT) which were not contingent on attendance or performance.…”

Exercise has diverse benefits for physical and mental health in people with mental illness; however, it is unclear how to effectively promote exercise motivation in this group. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions utilising exercise instruction or behavioural counselling with people with mental illness to improve self-determined motivation for exercise, and physical and mental health. Participants were adults (aged 18+ years) receiving mental health services.Participants could choose from two 8-week programs comprising weekly groupbased sessions delivered by an exercise physiologist: (a) exercise instruction in a gym (GYM) or (b) behavioural counselling (MOT). Self-determined motivation was measured using the Behaviour Regulations for Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ3).Physical health indicators included waist circumference, blood pressure, leg strength (sit-to-stand test), physical capacity (six-minute walk test) and self-reported exercise.Mental health was assessed using the Kessler-6 scale of psychological distress. Most of the 95 participants chose exercise instruction (GYM = 60; MOT = 35). At baseline, participants who chose MOT had higher external motivation, body mass index, waist circumference and psychological distress, and a higher proportion had multiple physical comorbidities than those who chose GYM. More self-determined motivation was associated with meeting physical activity guidelines. Post-intervention, GYM participants had significant improvements in self-determined motivation, psychological distress and sit-to-stand test; MOT participants had significant improvements in integrated regulation, self-reported exercise and physical functioning. In conclusion, exercise instruction can improve self-determined motivation; however, more intensive behavioural counselling support may be needed to improve self-determined motivation. Counselling programs can increase exercise behaviour and may appeal more to people with poorer health and more external motivation. Findings have high ecological validity and applicability to real-world implementation of exercise interventions. To accommodate people with diverse conditions and motivations, motivational e1612 |

The person's physical, social, and psychological quality of life is affected by their personal experiences, beliefs, and perceptions of themselves, others, and the world in which they live [16,27,28].…”

Quality of Life: The Concept and Interventions

Quality of life is one of the positive psychology concepts that gained popularity and acceptance in the second half of the twentieth century. Quality of life is a multifaceted concept that refers to the overall general happiness due to his subjective and objective evaluation of all aspects of his life. The quality of an individual’s life has multiple determinants, including values, goals, culture, and environment, in which the individual lives, desires, needs, and others. And the multiplicity of definitions of quality of life in the light of the theoretical approaches to its study led to the lack of agreement on a single definition of the concept of quality of life. An increasing number of studies have clarified the benefits of counseling interventions to improve the quality of life of members of society in all its groups, as well as the effectiveness of quality-of-life interventions in developing the positive traits of an individual’s personality. There is still an urgent need to study the impact of intervention strategies to improve the quality of life, especially for people with chronic diseases.
