Medical and scientific committees need validated instruments to assess quality of life, but the lack of general population norms limits their full use in research and clinical practice. This study aimed to determine norms for the French general population for the physical and psychological health and social relationship dimensions of the abbreviated version of WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire in a large representative community sample.
A sample of 16,450 randomly selected subjects 18-75 years old, in two steps: households and individuals, was drawn from the National Health Barometer 2005, a periodic study by the French National Institute for Preventive and Health Education. Quality of life and other characteristics were collected using a computer-assisted telephone interview by use of a booklet.
Internal consistency was good. Normative data for the French population are analyzed by age, sex and self-reported chronic disease.
Our data provide normative scores for the general French population for three of four dimensions of the WHOQOL-BREF that can be useful to researchers using this measure of health-related quality-of-life assessment and to clinical practitioners.
医学和科学委员会需要经过验证的工具来评估生活质量,但缺乏一般人群的常模限制了它们在研究和临床实践中的充分应用。本研究旨在通过一个具有广泛代表性的社区样本,确定法国普通人群在世界卫生组织生活质量简表(WHOQOL-BREF)的身心健康和社会关系维度方面的常模。
从法国国家预防和健康教育研究所的一项定期研究《2005年国民健康晴雨表》中,分两步随机抽取了16450名年龄在18至75岁之间的受试者样本:先抽取家庭,再从家庭中抽取个体。使用一本手册,通过计算机辅助电话访谈收集生活质量及其他特征信息。
内部一致性良好。法国人群的常模数据按年龄、性别和自我报告的慢性病情况进行了分析。
我们的数据为法国普通人群提供了WHOQOL-BREF四个维度中三个维度的常模分数,这对使用该健康相关生活质量评估指标的研究人员和临床医生可能有用。
