Measuring discomfort is challenging due to its subjective nature. Common methods include:
Surveys and Questionnaires: Standardized tools such as the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain or the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) for mental health. Interviews: In-depth interviews can provide qualitative insights into the nature and impact of discomfort. Biomarkers: Physiological indicators like cortisol levels can sometimes be used to measure stress-related discomfort.
