The Malay version of the WHOQOL-BREF was published approximately 15 years ago. Since then, no known research has been conducted to identify the psychometric properties of the scale using confirmatory factor analysis. This study aimed to establish a model by applying a scientific approach to the translation and adaptation method. The back translation technique was used for the translation process. This cross-sectional study involved 282 employees at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. The instrument received satisfactory Cronbach's alpha reliability values. The data were analysed with SEM using AMOS. Results showed that the model produced is parsimonious, with CMIN/df = 0.23, CFI = 0.93, SRMR = 0.08, RMSEA = 0.08 and PCLOSE = 0.07. Adopting the Malay version of the WHOQOL-BREF for future research is highly recommended due to its properties.
《WHOQOL-BREF 马来语版》大约在 15 年前出版。从那时起,没有已知的研究使用验证性因素分析来确定该量表的心理测量特性。本研究旨在通过应用科学的翻译和改编方法来建立一个模型。回译技术用于翻译过程。这项横断面研究涉及马来西亚国民大学的 282 名员工。该工具获得了令人满意的克朗巴赫α可靠性值。使用 AMOS 的 SEM 对数据进行分析。结果表明,所产生的模型是简约的,CMIN/df = 0.23,CFI = 0.93,SRMR = 0.08,RMSEA = 0.08 和 PCLOSE = 0.07。由于其特性,强烈建议在未来的研究中采用《WHOQOL-BREF 马来语版》。
