Item | Item text | Interview comments |
|---|---|---|
PFB54 | Does your health now limit you in going OUTSIDE the home, for example to shop or visit a doctor’s office? | “‘Your health’ makes me think of all kinds of things – blood pressure, dermatological issues, my knee, my Achilles, mental health. The more you know, the harder it is to answer.” |
PFA5 | Does your health now limit you in lifting or carrying groceries? | “My ‘health’ is a full gambit of issues including Crohn’s disease and Parkinson’s.” |
PFB49 | Does your health now limit you in going for a short walk (less than 15 min)? | “The phrase ‘your health’ made me think about total body fitness, but all of my answers were about my knee.” |
PFC35 | Does your health now limit you in doing 8 h of physical labor? | “My knee is a component of my health and is the only big issue right now, but it doesn’t define my health. My health doesn’t limit my ability to do physical labor, but my knee limits what I can do.” |
PFA6 | Does your health now limit you in bathing or dressing yourself? | “‘Your health’ triggered me right to my knee joint. I have a shoulder injury that isn’t bothering me now.” |
