The Parent Cough Specific Quality of Life (PC-QoL) questionnaires quantitatively assess the impact of a child's cough on parental wellbeing, offering insights into psychological, physical, and social effects. They serve as a valuable tool for pediatricians and researchers, bridging the gap in understanding how a child’s chronic or acute cough distresses parents. These questionnaires, validated through empirical research, have shown reliability, validity, and sensitivity to changes in a child’s condition. They support healthcare professionals in evaluating interventions' efficacy, with applications in both clinical practice and research. The PC-QoL questionnaires include a full-scale version, a short-form, and a version focusing on acute coughs, facilitating their adoption for varied clinical needs.
