It also breaks down the cognitive-linguistic components that comprise the judgment of quality, including description, evaluation, and valuations, and applies them to issues specific to individuals with chronic medical illness. In this context, quality/QoL assessment becomes an essential contributor to ethical practice, a critical step towards improving the nature of social interactions. The author considers linear, non-linear, and complexity-based models in analyzing key methodology and content issues in health-related QoL assessment, including:
- Objective versus subjective indicators.
- Signs and symptoms, e.g., pain and fatigue.
- Categories and domains.
- Health status and quality of care.
- Functional status.
- Neurocognitive capacity/degeneration.
- Well-being and emotional regulation.
- Determinants of Valuation.
- The role of Fundamental Measurement.
This book is certain to stimulate debate in the research and scientific communities. Its forward-looking perspective takes great strides toward promoting a common cognitive-linguistic model of how the judgment of quality occurs,thereby contributing important conceptual and empirical tools to its varied applications, including QoL assessment.
