OBJECTIVE: To study the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument Bref psychometric properties in a sample of smokers. It is a self-administered instrument to evaluate quality of life. It contains 26 questions allocated to 4 domains: Social, Psychological, Physical and Environmental, there are 2 questions related to the Global domain. METHOD: The sample was formed by 276 tobacco users selected at random. The instruments applied were: World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument Bref, Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence, and Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36-item. The statistical analysis was accomplished up by ANOVA, Cronbach's alpha, Pearson's Coefficient and Multiple Regression. RESULTS: The World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument Bref presented good reliability (Cronbach's alpha 0.9207), converging validation (0.382 < r < 0.753; p < 0.001), discriminant validation and criterion validation (0.554 < r < 0.778; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument Bref proved to be an adequate instrument, with a good level of reliability, being easily and quickly administered.

RESUMO O World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0) é uma ferramenta desenvolvida pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS) para medir deficiência e incapacidade, apoiando o modelo da Classificação Internacional de Saúde, Incapacidade e Funcionalidade. A versão brasileira do WHODAS 2.0 foi traduzida e disponibilizada para uso pela OMS em 2015. Assim, este estudo pretende validar a versão brasileira do WHODAS 2.0 para uso em pessoas com cegueira. Participaram 56 pessoas com cegueira (idade média: 48,4±13,6 anos). Foram utilizadas duas ferramentas de avaliação: a versão de 36 itens do WHODAS 2.0 e o World Health Organization Quality of Life-bref (WHOQOL-abreviado). As propriedades psicométricas testadas foram consistência interna, teste-reteste e validade de critério. Houve boa confiabilidade teste-reteste (ICC≥0,63). Os valores de a de Cronbach mostraram boa consistência interna na maioria das áreas, exceto no subdomínio de atividades escolares ou de trabalho (a=0,55). A validade do critério foi adequada, com correlações moderadas entre os domínios do WHODAS 2.0 e áreas do WHOQOL-abreviado. Os resultados indicaram a validade do WHODAS 2.0 para avaliar a funcionalidade de pessoas com cegueira.

Resumo O WHODAS 2.0 (World Health Organization Disability Assesment Schedule) é um instrumento criado pela OMS (Organização Mundial da Saúde) para medida de funcionalidade e deficiência, fundamentado no modelo biopsicossocial e totalmente amparado no arcabouço teórico-conceitual da CIF (Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde). O objetivo deste artigo é validar a versão brasileira do WHODAS 2.0 para o uso em pessoas com HIV/AIDS. Participaram 100 pessoas com diagnóstico de HIV/AIDS. Foram utilizados dois instrumentos de avaliação, o WHODAS 2.0 na versão de 36 itens e o WHOQoL-HIV-Bref (World Health Organization Quality of Life em pessoas com HIV, versão abreviada). As propriedades psicométricas testadas foram consistência interna e validade de critério. A consistência interna foi adequada para todos os domínios, com exceção do domínio Atividades de Vida (α = 0,69) e Autocuidado (α = 0,32). A validade de critério foi adequada, com correlações moderadas aos domínios do WHODAS 2.0 com os domínios do WHOQoL-HIV-Abreviado. Os resultados indicaram o instrumento WHODAS 2.0 como válido para avaliação da funcionalidade de pessoas com HIV/AIDS. O uso dos dados do domínio de Autocuidado deve ser cuidadosamente considerado.

This study aimed to identify psychometric properties of the World Health Organization Quality of Life 100 questionnaire. Material and methods. A random sample of 1403 Kaunas city men and women aged 35–64 years was examined in 2001–2002. Quality of life was assessed by the self-administered World Health Organization Quality of Life 100 questionnaire. Statistics. Scores of all domains and facets of the questionnaire were transformed to reflect a scale from 0 to 100. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were evaluated by Pearson’s correlation coefficients and by Cronbach’s α. The relationship between the WHOQOL-100 domains and the two general items (G1 and G4) was assessed using linear regression analysis. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to explore the factor structure of the data. Results. The mean scores of the World Health Organization Quality of Life 100 questionnaire domains ranged from 51.3±15.1 (overall quality of life) to 72.0±16.4 (level of independence domain). The instrument displayed acceptable Cronbach’s α (0.77–0.91) and test-retest reliability (0.64–0.89). The overall assessment of quality of life (G1) was most strongly associated with the environment (β=0.31), psychological (β=0.18), and social relationships (β=0.17) domains. Overall health (G4) showed the strongest association with the level of independence (β=0.34) and physical (β=0.18) domains. The principal component analysis revealed five-factor solution, which accounted for 57.7% of a total variance. Conclusion. In the Lithuanian population, the World Health Organization Quality of Life 100 questionnaire was found to be a suitable instrument for evaluating quality of life.
