Quality of care as a determinant of health-related quality of life in ill-hospitalized adolescents at a tertiary care hospital in North India.
To evaluate if quality of care (QoC) provided by hospital is a determinant of ill-hospitalized adolescent's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) from parent's perspective. ⋯ The Pyramid instrument is a reliable instrument for assessing parent's perception of QoC provided to hospitalized adolescents in Indian context. QoC was positively associated with HRQoL, thus, an increased focus on QoC especially staff attitude is likely to enhance adolescent's overall HRQoL.
