The Wound-QoL measures the disease-specific, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with chronic wounds. It can be used in clinical and observational studies as well as in daily practice.
Two versions are available:
All items assess impairments within the preceding seven days. Generally, we recommend using the Wound-QoL-14 due to its better psychometric properties
The Wound-QoL is filled in by the patients themselves. The questionnaire is self-explanatory; yet, patients can be supported if they are not able to fill it in by themselves. In this case, the support has to be documented.
The Wound-QoL-17 was developed based on three validated instruments assessing HRQoL in chronic wounds: the Freiburg Life Quality Assessment for wounds (FLQA-w, Augustin et al. 2010), the Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule (CWIS, Price et al. 2004), and the Würzburg Wound Score (WWS, Spech 2003; Engelhardt et al. 2014).
