摘要
The objective of this study was to examine the structure of disease-specific quality of life (QoL). Models of QoL with either one overall construct or more constructs were tested and the relationships (factor loadings) between the constructs and dimensions were established, using structural equation modelling. The models were tested over time to assess the stability of the structure. To generalize the results further, disease-specific questionnaires of two very different chronic diseases have been compared: inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and Parkinson's disease (PD).
