Overview of the Heinrichs-Carpenter Quality of Life Scale (QLS) and Work Readiness Questionnaire (WoRQ).
| QLS | WoRQ | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| To assess health-related quality of life and functioning in patients with schizophrenia during the preceding four weeks7 | To assess functional capacity to work and work readiness in patients with schizophrenia6 | ||||
| Clinician | Clinician | ||||
| Interpersonal relations | Instrumental role | Intrapsychic foundations | Common objects and activities | ||
| To examine a patient’s social experience | To assess a patient’s work functioning | To assess a patient’s sense of purpose and motivation | To evaluate a patient’s level of participation in the community | ||
| 1. Household | 9. Occupational role | 13. Sense of purpose | 18. Commonplace objects | 1. The patient generally adheres to a treatment plan, including medication. | |
| Each item is rated on a 7-point scale, ranging from 0 (severe impairment) to 6 (normal or unimpaired functioning), and definitions are provided for 4 anchor points of the 7 points. Higher scores indicate a better quality of life and functioning, and QLS total scores thus ranges from 0–126. | Each statement item is rated on a 4-point scale, ranging from 1 (strongly agree) to 4 (strongly disagree). In the final item 8, the clinician indicates if the patient is ready for work independent of the score in each item (Yes/No). WoRQ total score is the sum of items 1–7, and thus ranges from 7–28 with lower scores indicating better functioning. | ||||
a For domain scores and total scores, scores for patients who could not be rated on items 1 and 12 were prorated on the basis on the items 2–8 and items 9–11, respectively.
