Summary

Quality of life and patient satisfaction are two important concepts in health care, especially in chronic diseases. Currently, there are several instruments available to determine this, but many are not easily applicable in daily practice because of their length and the consequential effort they require from both patients and caregivers.

In the UK, Benson et al. recently developed two short generic patient questionnaires on quality of life and patient satisfaction: the howRu and howRwe questionnaires. Both questionnaires contain four items.

The howRU questionnaire has already been validated and seems highly applicable to be used in large patient groups. The howRwe questionnaire has not been validated yet. The reliability of both questionnaires has not been assessed either. The procedure as suggested by Kocks et al. provides us with the opportunity to perform a reliability procedure on patient level.

The purpose of this study is to assess the reliability of the howRU and the howRwe questionnaires on patient level in the Dutch population.
