This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, ceiling and floor effects, reliability, and convergent construct validity of the Brazilian version of the Mini Cuestionario de Calidad de Vida en la Hipertensión Arterial (MINICHAL). The study included 200 hypertensive outpatients in a university hospital and a primary healthcare unit. The MINICHAL was applied in 3.0 (± 1.0) minutes with 100% of the items answered. A "ceiling effect" was observed in both dimensions and in the total score, as well as evidence of measurement stability (ICC=0.74). The convergent validity was confirmed by significant positive correlations between similar dimensions of the MINICHAL and the SF-36, and significant negative correlations with the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire - MLHFQ, however, correlations between dissimilar constructs were also observed. It was concluded that the Brazilian version of the MINICHAL presents evidence of reliability and validity when applied to hypertensive outpatients.
本研究旨在评估巴西版《动脉高血压生活质量简易问卷》（MINICHAL）的可行性、可接受性、天花板效应和地板效应、信度以及聚合效度。该研究纳入了一家大学医院和一个初级医疗保健单位的200名高血压门诊患者。MINICHAL问卷的填写用时3.0（±1.0）分钟，所有条目回答率为100%。在两个维度和总分中均观察到了“天花板效应”，同时也有测量稳定性的证据（组内相关系数ICC=0.74）。MINICHAL相似维度与SF-36之间存在显著正相关，与明尼苏达心力衰竭生活问卷（MLHFQ）存在显著负相关，从而证实了聚合效度，不过，也观察到了不同结构之间的相关性。研究得出结论，巴西版MINICHAL应用于高血压门诊患者时具有信度和效度的证据。
