Description
Masako Kageyama and three co-authors created a Japanese version in 2026 of a short quality-of-life scale for people with severe mental illness. The scale asks twelve self-rated questions on life areas and averages them into one score. The team translated it and tested it on more than two hundred adults in Japan who reported severe mental illness.
Checks covered whether scores spread sensibly, matched a world health scale given to a smaller group, and hung together well. Split-sample factor tests probed the scale's shape. The team also asked whether single life areas link to a person's diagnosis. A sound local version lets Japanese care teams track wellbeing in a shared way.
