The objective of this study is to describe preliminary results from the cross-cultural adaptation of the Quality of Life Assessment Questionnaire, used to measure health related quality of life (HRQL) in Brazilian children aged between 5 and 11 with HIV/AIDS. The cross-cultural model evaluated the Concept, Item, Semantic and Measurement Equivalences (internal consistency and intra-observer reliability). Evaluation of the conceptual, item, semantic equivalences showed that the Portuguese version is pertinent for the Brazilian context. Four of seven domains showed internal consistency above 0.70 (α: 0.76-0.90) and five of seven revealed intra-observer reliability (ricc: 0.41-0.70). This first Portuguese version of the HRQL questionnaire can be understood as a valuable tool for assessing children's HRQL, but further studies with large samples and more robust analyses are recommended before use in the Brazilian context.
本研究的目的是描述用于评估巴西 5-11 岁艾滋病毒/艾滋病儿童健康相关生活质量（HRQL）的生活质量评估问卷的跨文化适应的初步结果。跨文化模型评估了概念、项目、语义和测量等效性（内部一致性和观察者内可靠性）。概念、项目和语义等效性的评估表明，葡萄牙语版本适用于巴西国情。七个领域中有四个领域的内部一致性高于 0.70（α：0.76-0.90），七个领域中有五个领域显示出观察者内可靠性（ricc：0.41-0.70）。该 HRQL 问卷的第一个葡萄牙语版本可被理解为评估儿童 HRQL 的有价值工具，但建议在巴西国情下使用之前，进行具有大样本和更稳健分析的进一步研究。
