This study sought to compare evidence of the factorial validity of the adapted version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-OLD) scale (three response options) with the original version of the scale. We included two populations of individuals age 60 years or older from northeast Brazil. The majority of participants were women who had an elementary-level education. The first population comprised 335 elderly persons who completed the original version of the scale, and the second was composed by 265 elderly persons who completed the shortened scale. Results indicated better adjusting on the reduced scale and showed items with lower error probability in assessment of elderly persons with lower quality of life.
本研究旨在比较世界卫生组织生活质量量表(WHOQOL-OLD)改编版(三种回答选项)与原始版本的因子效度证据。我们纳入了来自巴西东北部的两组60岁及以上的人群。大多数参与者是接受过小学教育的女性。第一组包括335名完成原始量表的老年人,第二组由265名完成简化量表的老年人组成。结果表明简化版量表的适应性更好,且在评估生活质量较低的老年人时,各条目具有较低的误差概率。
