Quality of life is broader than symptoms alone. It covers how a person sees physical health, mood and meaning, relationships, and the surrounding conditions that make daily life easier or harder. When those areas move in different directions, a single question such as "How are you doing?" usually misses the pattern.
This page turns the WHOQOL-BREF into a structured self-check over the past two weeks. You answer 26 prompts one at a time, then the page summarizes four domain scores on a 0 to 100 scale, draws a radar chart, flags the strongest and weakest areas, and adds short follow-up suggestions based on the lowest-scoring domain.
That is useful when a person wants to see more than a vague good day or bad day impression. Recovery after illness, caregiving strain, housing or money stress, relationship disruption, burnout, or a prolonged dip in sleep can all leave uneven marks across domains. A four-domain profile makes it easier to see whether the pressure is mostly physical, psychological, social, environmental, or spread across several areas.
The results are best used for reflection, trend tracking, or as a discussion aid with a clinician, counselor, coach, or other qualified professional. The page follows the WHOQOL-BREF structure, but some interpretation features are page-specific. The balance labels, strongest-versus-weakest domain language, item-level "drivers and strengths" lists, and next-step prompts are convenience layers added by this package rather than official World Health Organization cut points.
One privacy detail matters. Scoring and exports run in the browser and there is no tool-specific upload step, but the current answer pattern is mirrored in the page URL so browser history or shared links can reveal responses. The result should also not be read as a diagnosis. Quality-of-life questionnaires describe perceived functioning and circumstances; they do not establish the cause of a problem on their own.
Approach the questionnaire as a snapshot of the last two weeks, not as a lifetime average and not as a judgment of character. The most useful run is usually the one completed in a calm moment when you can answer each item without rushing. If you plan to compare several runs over time, try to keep the context reasonably similar so the differences reflect real change instead of a very different moment of the day.
The page is designed to keep the task simple. You begin with a short orientation screen, move through one item at a time, and can jump backward through the side list whenever an answer needs to be reconsidered. The progress bar tells you how much is complete, and results appear only after all 26 items are answered.
When the results panel opens, read it in layers. Start with the overall badge and the four domain badges. Then look at the radar chart to see shape and imbalance. After that, read the narrative block. It explains which domain is strongest, which needs the most attention, how wide the spread is across domains, and which lower-scoring items are pulling the profile down after reverse scoring is applied where needed.
WHOQOL-BREF is the short form of the World Health Organization quality-of-life assessment. In the standard instrument, two general items ask about overall quality of life and overall satisfaction with health, and the remaining items contribute to four domains: Physical, Psychological, Social Relationships, and Environment. This page follows that same broad structure. The first two questions are shown in the answer table, while the scored profile comes from the four domains.
Each response is stored as an integer from 1 to 5. Three negatively worded items are reverse coded in the page before domain scoring: pain preventing needed activities, dependence on medical treatment for daily functioning, and frequency of negative feelings. After that recoding step, higher values always mean better perceived quality of life for the purpose of the profile.
Each domain score is the mean of its recoded items, transformed onto a 0 to 100 scale. The page then computes an Overall QoL score as the simple average of the four domain percentages. That overall average is a page-level summary rather than an official WHO single-index output. It is useful for quick orientation, but the domain pattern remains the more informative part of the result.
| Domain | Items used here | What the score broadly reflects |
|---|---|---|
Physical |
7 items | Pain burden, treatment dependence, energy, mobility, sleep, daily activities, and work capacity |
Psychological |
6 items | Enjoyment, meaning, concentration, body image, self-esteem, and negative feelings after reverse coding |
Social |
3 items | Personal relationships, sex life satisfaction, and support from friends |
Environment |
8 items | Safety, physical environment, finances, information access, leisure, home, health services, and transport |
Several result features are specific to this package and should be read as practical helpers rather than standards language. The page labels the domain spread as balanced when the gap between the highest and lowest domain is 10 points or less, moderate spread when the gap is above 10 and up to 20, and wide spread above 20. It also creates a "drivers" list from recoded item scores of 1 or 2 and a "strengths" list from recoded item scores of 4 or 5.
The follow-up guidance is also rule based. Every result gets a general prompt to try one small change and review it after roughly a week. If the overall score falls below 50, the page adds a suggestion to keep a short two-week log. Domain-specific advice is then chosen from the lowest-scoring domain, so lower Physical scores trigger sleep, movement, and medical-follow-up language, while lower Social or Environment scores trigger a different set of suggestions.
All score calculation, chart drawing, and answer export generation run in the page. That keeps the workflow simple, but it also means the shareable URL becomes part of the data story because the encoded response string is used to rebuild the state on reload.
Start Assessment and read each question with the last two weeks in mind.Higher scores mean better perceived quality of life in that domain after reverse coding is applied where necessary. A domain near 80 does not mean life is objectively "80% good," and a domain near 30 does not diagnose a disorder. The number is a structured summary of how the last two weeks felt across that cluster of items.
Differences between domains often matter more than the average. A profile with Physical and Psychological scores near 70 but Social near 30 tells a different story from a profile where all four domains sit around 50, even if the overall average looks similar. The first profile points to a specific area of strain. The second suggests a more global drag.
The page's lowest-domain guidance is useful because it keeps attention on the clearest pressure point, but it should not erase context. A low Environment score may reflect transport, money, safety, or service access rather than a personal trait. A low Psychological score may reflect recent stress, grief, pain, or sleep disruption rather than a single mental-health explanation.
The safest reading is usually: what is strongest, what is weakest, how wide is the spread, and does that match what life has actually felt like recently.
Imagine someone who reports good energy, decent sleep, supportive friendships, and a safe home, but lower satisfaction with leisure time. Physical, Social, and Environment may all stay in a fairly comfortable range while Environment trails slightly because leisure is one of its items. The page would likely describe the profile as balanced or only moderately spread, which points toward maintenance plus one practical lifestyle adjustment rather than a broad crisis.
A person may sleep reasonably well, feel physically able to work, and still endorse low satisfaction with personal relationships, sex life, and support from friends. Because the Social domain contains only three items, those answers can pull that domain down quickly. The page would likely show Social as the weakest area, a wider spread on the radar chart, and next steps that lean toward meaningful connection and asking for specific support.
If pain is limiting activity, sleep is poor, negative feelings are frequent, and money or access pressures are also present, more than one domain will fall together. In that case the average score may also drop under the page's 50-point threshold, which triggers the short-log suggestion. The practical meaning is not that the page has named a diagnosis. It means several parts of daily life are reporting strain at once, which usually warrants closer follow-up.
No. It summarizes perceived quality of life across four domains. Clinical diagnosis requires broader assessment, history, and context that a quality-of-life profile cannot provide by itself.
WHOQOL-BREF includes two general questions plus domain-specific items. This page follows that layout. The overall profile comes from the four domains, while the first two questions remain contextual items in the answer record.
No. They are package-specific helpers built on the domain spread, the lowest domain, and the overall average. They are there to improve readability, not to stand in for official WHO cutoffs.
The scoring path and exports are generated in the browser, but the current response pattern is stored in the page URL so browser history, screenshots, or shared links can expose the state.
Use the same two-week frame each time and focus first on domain changes rather than on the average alone. Repeated changes in one domain are usually more informative than small drift in the overall score.
