| dc.description.abstract | The Recovering Quality of Life (ReQoL) scale is a short scale for routine clinical use in mental health services. Its shorter 10-item version in English was translated and validated in Gujarati, an Indian language, spoken in the western state of Gujarat in India. The translation process involved following process: forward and back-translation, pilot-testing involving patients, review and reconciliation steps. The linguistic issues encountered during the translation process were addressed. The Gujarati version of ReQoL was considered linguistically acceptable for use in patients with mental illness. It is expected that ReQoL Gujarati version will add to QOL instruments in Gujarati language which can be used in routine clinical practice. | en_US |
