Échelle PozQoL
The French (France) version of PozQoL:
- Is a professional translation of the English version of the PozQoL Scale
- Has been used in practice with French speakers
- Has not yet been validated with French speakers (to the best of our knowledge)
If you use the French (France) version of PozQoL, we would love to hear from you.
If you are working with French speakers, please note that there is also a French (Canada) translation available.
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.
This tool is only available in English (but text can be changed manually).
