HRQOL Models Flashcards
Wilson & Cleary’s Model
- biomedical and social science
- linear relationship between constructs
- impacted by environmental and individual factors
- founded on biological and psychological aspects of health outcomes
Wilson & Cleary’s 5 Domains
- bio-physiological status
- symptoms
- functional status
- general health perception
- quality of life
Wilson & Cleary: Bio-physiological Status
- Commonly conceptualized, measured and applied in clinical practice
- Focuses on function of cells, organs and systems
Wilson & Cleary: Symptoms
- Focus shifts from cells/organs to organism as a whole
- Physical symptoms – a perceptions, feeling or belief about the state of the body
- Psychophysical – associated with mental health; symptoms not clearly physical or psychological
- Emotional
Wilson & Cleary: Functional Status
Asses the ability of the individual to perform defined tasks
Wilson & Cleary: General Health Perception
Integration of all health concepts
Wilson & Cleary: Quality of Life
Subjective assessment of well-being, happiness and satisfaction
Ferrans et al. Model & how it built upon Wilson & Cleary’s model?
- HRQOL= desired end product
- environment and individual effects are linear
- explained individual and environmental characteristics
- removed non-medical factors
- simplified the interrelation of domains
- dominant causal relationships
- retains reciprocal relationships
WHOICF Model
- unifying
- covers many demographics
- examines disease and how it affects HRQOL?
- ICF= similar to DSM
- Part 1= functioning/disability
- Part 2= context (individual and environmental)
What is unique about the WHOICF?
- stresses health and functioning
- every person can experience disability (universal human experience)
- shifts from cause of health conditions to their impact
WHOICF: Universality
- classification of functioning and disability should be applicable to all people irrespective of their health condition
WHOICF: Parity
- disability should not be differentiated by etiology (i.e. “mental” vs “physical”)
WHOICF: Neutrality
- domains should be worded in neutral language
WHOICF: Environmental
- SM of disability
- factors range from physical factors such as climate and terrain, to social attitudes, institutions, and laws
Applications of WHOICF at the Individual Level
- assessment of individuals
- individual treatment planning
- evaluation of treatment and other interventions
- communication amongst health care teams
- self-evaluation by consumers
