Article Synopsis
- Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that negatively affects adults' quality of life (QoL), but there are currently no validated tools to measure this impact.
- This study aimed to create and evaluate the reliability and validity of a new QoL scale specifically for adults with anaphylaxis called the Anaphylaxis Quality of Life Scale for Adults (A-QoL-Adults).
- The A-QoL-Adults scale consists of 21 items with strong reliability and identifies three key areas (Emotional Impact, Social Impact, and Limitations on Life) that correlate significantly with general QoL and levels of anxiety, depression, and stress.
