A measure of positive health-related quality of life: the Satisfaction with Illness Scale.
The Satisfaction with Illness Scale measures the extent to which chronic or acute physical illness has had positive consequences for patients. In a sample of 52 persons with chronic bronchitis, the scale was shown to have good internal consistency and to correlate .42 with another scale of positive life satisfaction.
