Worth a thousand words? Visual concept mapping of the quality of life of people with severe mental health problems

摘要

ObjectivesConventional approaches to quality of life (QoL) measurement rely heavily on verbal, language‐based communication. They require respondents to have significant cognitive and verbal ability, making them potentially unsuitable for people with severe mental health problems. To facilitate an alternative approach to QoL assessment, the current study aims to develop an alternative, visual representation of QoL for people with severe mental health problems.
