PURPOSE
To evaluate whether the WHOQOL-BREF measures the QOL construct in the same way across nations.
METHODS
Students from Flanders, Belgium and Iran completed the WHOQOL-BREF as part of a larger Quality of Life questionnaire. Their responses were compared using a multi-group confirmatory factor analysis.
RESULTS
In general, the QOL construct appears rather similar in both cultures; however, participants from both countries seem to respond differently to particular items of the WHOQOL-BREF. Especially for the physical and psychological domain, this is problematic, because none of their indicators works in the same way across samples.
CONCLUSIONS
Notwithstanding some limitations of this study, it must be concluded that the WHOQOL-BREF should only be used with great caution in cross-national comparisons.
目的
评估 WHOQOL-BREF 在不同国家是否以相同的方式衡量生活质量构念。
方法
比利时佛兰德斯地区和伊朗的学生完成了 WHOQOL-BREF 作为更大的生活质量问卷的一部分。他们的回答使用多群组验证性因素分析进行比较。
结果
一般来说，生活质量构念在这两种文化中似乎相当相似；然而，来自这两个国家的参与者对 WHOQOL-BREF 的特定项目的反应似乎不同。特别是在身体和心理领域，这是有问题的，因为他们的指标在样本之间都没有以相同的方式运作。
结论
尽管本研究存在一些限制，但必须得出结论，在跨国比较中，WHOQOL-BREF 只能谨慎使用。
