Sammanfattning
Background: The WHOQOL-BREF is widely used to measure quality of life.
Aims: The goal of the present study was to use the questionnaire in a doctoral study.
Methods: We studied all the instructions provided by the WHO.
Results: In the Danish version of the WHOQOL-BREF there is a discrepancy between the negatively
phrased question 9 and both the syntax file and the verbal instructions for coding the data provided
by the WHO.
Conclusions: This is a notification of possible error interpretations in projects that use the questionnaire.
This could be corrected by manual correction in the coding process or by changing the negatively
phrased question 9.
