Integrating response shift into health-related quality of life research: a theoretical model
TL;DR: A theoretical model is proposed to clarify and predict changes in QOL as a result of the interaction of a catalyst, referring to changes in the respondent's health status, and a dynamic feedback loop aimed at maintaining or improving the perception of QOL.
