Comparison of capability and health-related quality of life instruments in capturing aspects of mental well-being in people with schizophrenia and depression.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is increasing evidence that assessing outcomes in terms of capability provides information beyond that of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) for outcome evaluation in mental health research and clinical practice.

Aims

To assess similarities and differences in the measurement properties of the ICECAP-A capability measure and Oxford Capabilities Questionnaire for Mental Health (OxCAP-MH) in people with schizophrenia experiencing depression, and compare these measurement properties with those of (a) the EuroQol EQ-5D-5L and EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS) and (b) mental health-specific (disease-specific) measures.

Method

Using data for 100 patients from the UK, measurement properties were compared using correlation analyses, Bland-Altman plots
