PozQoL መለ ኪያ

This is a professional translation of the English version of the PozQoL Scale.

To the best of our knowledge, this translation has not yet been validated or trialled with Amharic speakers.

If you use the Amharic version of PozQoL, we would love to hear from you.


PozQoL Tools

Implementation Kit

The Implementation Kit was co-designed by organisations that were part of the PozQoL Usability Trial. It provides information about how to use the PozQoL Scale in practice.

The Kit is only available in English. It may be translated into more languages in the future. This will depend on demand. (So, if you would like it in another language, be sure to tell us!)


Simple Calculator

The Simple PozQoL Calculator is a spreadsheet that calculates PozQoL Scores for one person at a time.

You can choose the language of the scale items and responses from a dropdown menu in the spreadsheet. Instructions and headings are in English but can be changed manually.


Pre-Post Calculator

The Pre-Post Group PozQoL Calculator is a spreadsheet that calculates and compares baseline and follow-up group PozQoL Scores.
