Brief Summary

Quality of life (QOL) is an overarching term for the quality of the various domains in life. It is a standard level that consists of the expectations of an individual or society for a good life. These expectations are guided by the values, goals and socio-cultural context in which an individual lives. It is a subjective, multidimensional concept that defines a standard level for emotional, physical, material and social well-being. The Short Form (36) Health Survey is a 36-item, patient-reported survey of patient health. The SF-36 is a measure of health status and an abbreviated variant of it, the SF-6D, is commonly used in health economics as a variable in the quality-adjusted life year calculation to determine the cost-effectiveness of a health treatment. The original SF-36 stemmed from the Medical Outcome Study, MOS, which was conducted by the RAND Corporation. The primary objectives of this research were to translate, validate and generate normative data on the SF-36 health survey for using among Urdu speaking residents of Pakistan.SF-36 health questionnaire is first translated into Urdu and then apply on healthy subjects to check the validity and reliability of this scale . Instrument will be first translated from English to Urdu by two experts. Both these experts were fluent in English and Urdu language. One expert belongs to allied health care profession and other expert will be junior life scientist. The third expert compares the initial to Urdu translation and formulated the first draft of SF-36 Health Questionnaire. Content validity of SF-36 Health Questionnaire was established by committee method. 10 experts from physical therapy field rate the all 36 items of the SF-36 Health Questionnaire on content validity index developed by RAND Corporation. They rate each item of SF-36 Health Questionnaire for its relevance, clarity, simplicity, and ambiguity on four point ordinal likert scale. Data will be analyzed using SPSS v 25.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Short Form 36

  The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability i.e., a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability. To calculate the scores it is necessary to purchase special software. Pricing depends on the number of scores that the researcher needs to calculate.
