Description
Summary:Context: Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is a global concept that takes into account the physical, psychological, and social domains of health. This broad view considers the whole-person and extends beyond the physiological and psychosocial components of health by addressing the person's disability and societal limitations. Determining to what extent HRQOL is affected by injury is an important aspect of athletic training practice to enable clinical outcomes comparisons across different conditions in diverse patient groups. Objective: To examine the extent to which a self-reported recent injury affects HRQOL in adolescents utilizing two generic patient self-report scales, the Medical Outcomes Short Form (SF-36) and the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI).
