QOL model by quality-of-life research unit, university of Toronto,

The Quality-of-Life Profile was developed to provide a measure that considers both the

components and determinants of health and well-being. It draws upon a conceptual model that is consistent with recent

definitions of health and health

promotion as provided by the World Health Organization. The profile emphasizes individuals' physical, psychological, and spiritual functioning; their connections with their

environments; and opportunities for maintaining and enhancing skills (unit, n.d.). the conceptualization defines Quality of Life as:

The degree to which a person enjoys the important possibilities of his or her life. Possibilities result from the

opportunities and limitations each person has in his/her life and reflect the interaction of

personal and environmental factors.
