Psychometric properties of the WHOQOL-BREF(PT) in a sample of elderly citizens
| Resumo: | The goal of this article was to research the psychometric properties of the WHOQOL-BREF(PT) instrument in a sample of elderly citizens residing in a rural area in their own homes or at family members' or friends' homes and to compare the results: (i) to those reported by the team of Portuguese researchers that undertaken the instrument's translation/validation to the Portuguese language and (ii) to those reported internationally by the World Health Organization Quality of Life group. An overall quality of life scoring (QOL24-all facets) is also proposed in this article as novelty. The correlation level between QOL24 and the instrument's general facet was also investigated. |
