To determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument-Older Adults Module (WHOQOL-Old).
The Turkish version of the WHOQOL-OLD was administered to 527 older (> 65 years) adults living in urban, suburban, and rural areas of Manisa Province, Turkey. The WHOQOL-OLD module consists of 24 items assigned to 6 facets (sen------sory abilities, autonomy, past, present and future activities, so-cial participation, death and dying, and intimacy) and is a supplementary module of WHOQOL-BREF. The WHOQOL-BREF and GDS-30 were also administered to the participants. A confirmatory approach was used during reliability and validity analysis. SPSS v.10.0 and LISREL v.8.54 were used for analysis.
Mean age of the participants was 71.06 +/- 5.20 years and the overall WHOQOL-OLD score was 56.02 +/- 11.86. In all, 54.5% of the participants were female and 60.5% reported to be in poor health. Both ceiling and floor effects of the WHOQOL-OLD were satisfactory (< 0.05%). Alpha values for the facets and overall scale (range: 0.68-0.88) (> 0.70), and item total correlations and overall scale success were satisfactory. As a measure of the construct validity of the scale, confirmatory factor analysis showed very high CFI values (range: 0.936-0.999) for each of the domains. Convergence of WHOQOL-OLD facet scores on WHOQOL-BREF domains and WHOQOL-OLD were very fine in general.
The psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the WHOQOL-OLD were acceptable, indicating that the scale is reliable and valid for use with older Turkish adults (> 65 years).
确定世界卫生组织生活质量量表老年版（WHOQOL - Old）土耳其语版本的心理测量特性。
将WHOQOL - OLD的土耳其语版本施测于居住在土耳其马尼萨省城市、郊区和农村地区的527名老年人（年龄大于65岁）。WHOQOL - OLD模块由分配到6个方面（感官能力、自主性、过去、现在和未来活动、社会参与、死亡与临终以及亲密关系）的24个条目组成，是WHOQOL - BREF的补充模块。还对参与者施测了WHOQOL - BREF和GDS - 30。在信效度分析过程中采用了验证性方法。使用SPSS v.10.0和LISREL v.8.54进行分析。
参与者的平均年龄为71.06±5.20岁，WHOQOL - OLD的总体得分是56.02±11.86。总体而言，54.5%的参与者为女性，60.5%报告健康状况不佳。WHOQOL - OLD的天花板效应和地板效应均令人满意（<0.05%）。各方面及总量表的α值（范围：0.68 - 0.88）（>0.70），以及项目与总分的相关性和总量表的效度均令人满意。作为量表结构效度的一种度量，验证性因素分析显示每个领域的CFI值都非常高（范围：0.936 - 0.999）。WHOQOL - OLD方面得分与WHOQOL - BREF领域得分以及WHOQOL - OLD的总体收敛情况总体上非常良好。
WHOQOL - OLD土耳其语版本的心理测量特性是可接受的，表明该量表对于土耳其老年成年人（年龄大于65岁）来说是可靠且有效的。
