[Evaluation of care: taking into account the patients' quality of life and relational elements].
This paper offers a new perspective concerning care evaluation. Patients' quality of life is measured as well as relational and subjective parameters. A questionnaire "SQLP" ("subjective quality of life profile") has been constructed and validated on several thousands subjects. The results obtained have several points of interest. First the questionnaire allows us to describe various populations and their needs; it also allows to track the effects of different treatments and compare them. Finally it also allows to understand some of the treatments' mechanisms of action. The therapeutic relationship has been extensively studied in psychotherapy research. It may be usefull in other therapeutic settings. Various examples are given. A particular attention has been given to the evaluation of the patient/care-giver agreement.
