It has a 5-point Likert-type rating system (1: Strongly disagree, 5: Strongly agree). It is reliable and valid in assessing fear of COVID-19 among the general population. Turkish validity and reliability of the scale were ensured.

It is an internationally comparable assessment tool developed by the World Health Organization. The scale evaluates the level of quality of life. The scale consists of 26 items. The Turkish version of WHOQOL-Bref consists of 27 items. Question 27 has been added to the Turkish version of the scale as a national environmental field and is used only in national studies. The scale includes the areas of physical health, psychological health, social relations, environment and national environment. It has a 5-point likert-type rating system.
