This study examined quality of life with several instruments in order to sample more general and more idiosyncratic aspects of quality of life in this particular patient population. We also examined the relationship between various aspects of quality of life and several psychosocial variables, including sensitivity to social desirability effects. The quality of life measures used in this study were found to be significantly correlated with each other and with measures of psychological distress. Implications of these findings are discussed.
