Abstract

Increased health care needs during the perinatal period can significantly impact a patient's quality of life. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) reflects the impact of a patient's health on their physical, mental and social wellbeing. Research has focused on development of tools suitable to measure HRQoL. These can be applied across the perinatal period from conception to postnatal care for use in clinical care, as an aid to shared decision making, in research and as an input to cost-effectiveness analyses used for resource allocation. HRQoL tools are a subset of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs), which help clinicians/researchers understand patient's experience of health. This essay serves as a primer to review the availability, validity and evidence of HRQoL tools for use in perinatal care. While some PROMs are routinely being implemented in pregnancy care, gaps remain regarding the specific impact of HRQoL tools on decision making and their potential use in family planning and neonatal care. Future research is needed to determine whether routine perinatal implementation of HRQoL tools will lead to stronger decision making for patients and providers. Involvement of parents in this process is essential to better understand how HRQoL tools can benefit decision making and perinatal care.

将围产期健康相关生活质量概念化以供决策

围产期保健需求的增加会显著影响患者的生活质量。与健康有关的生活质量（HRQoL）反映了患者的健康对其身体、精神和社会福祉的影响。研究的重点是开发适合测量HRQoL的工具。这些指标可应用于从受孕到产后护理的整个围产期，用于临床护理，帮助共同决策，用于研究，并作为资源分配所用的成本效益分析的投入。HRQoL工具是患者报告结果测量（PROMs）的一个子集，它帮助临床医生/研究人员了解患者的健康经历。这篇文章作为一个入门审查的可用性，有效性和证据HRQoL工具用于围产期护理。虽然在妊娠护理中常规实施了一些PROMs，但在HRQoL工具对决策的具体影响及其在计划生育和新生儿护理中的潜在应用方面仍然存在差距。未来的研究需要确定常规围产期实施HRQoL工具是否会给患者和提供者带来更强的决策。父母参与这一过程对于更好地理解HRQoL工具如何有利于决策和围产期护理至关重要。
