Korean translation and validation of the WHOQOL-DIS for people with spinal cord injury and stroke: Methodological issues
We were interested to read the paper by Lee KJ and colleagues that was published in Disability and Health Journal in Jan 2017. The authors tried to assess the validity and reliability of the Korean version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life-Disability (WHOQOL-DIS) module. The authors point out in their article that the Korean version of WHOQOL-DI module can help to capture the quality of life of Koreans with disabilities.1

Quality of Life of Stroke Survivors and Their Informal Caregivers: A Prospective Study
Stroke is a major health burden worldwide. Healthcare improvements have led to increased survival among stroke patients; however, the disability level remains high. These patients require assistance from caregivers, particularly in the first year after stroke. Longitudinal studies of quality of life (QoL) and the factors associated with QoL for both patients and caregivers are limited.

While caregiver burden and QoL might be closely related, caregiver burden seems also to be a potential modifier of the associations between patients’ and caregivers’ characteristics and caregivers’ QoL.
