We conclude with the insight that the multi-dimensional approach based on Foot's concept of a good life is well-suited as a basis for investigating the quality of life of people with IBD. Interviews based on this concept produced results that go beyond the understanding of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Additionally, we offer some considerations about patients' opportunities for achieving a good life and suggestions for further developing patient reported outcome scales.
