Wound-QoL

The Wound-QoL (Blome et al, 2014) is a validated questionnaire measuring quality of life in patients with chronic wounds, which has been developed  based on three established disease-specific instruments (the Freiburg Life Quality Assessment for wounds, the Cardiff  Wound Impact Schedule, and the Würzburg Wound Score), and condensed for ease of use in practice. The questionnaire includes 17 items that can be attributed to three subscales on everyday life, body and psyche (Blome et al, 2014). The questionnaire focuses on the patient’s experience within the past 7 days. It can be used in clinical and observational studies as well as in daily practice.
