Quality of life whether explicitly noted to be a concern or not is part of the calculus that helps us to decide whether life is worth living. How quality of life is defined varies from individual to individual and also by stage of life. Symptoms, mood states, roles, and one's sense of self, all have an impact on quality of life. This module will explore the various components of quality of life and some of the approaches healthcare providers can take to enhance the quality of life of a discrete individual.
