The purpose of this letter to the editors is to highlight to the readership of Autism the recommended use of the Autism Quality of Life measure (ASQoL) for research with autistic adults. The ASQoL was developed for use alongside the World Health Organization Quality of Life – Bref (WHOQOL-Bref) and the World Health Organization disabilities module. The letter raises some concerns about the use of the ASQoL as a standalone measure in a recent study by Caron et al. published in Autism. Lay abstract This letter to the editors discusses the use of the ASQoL for research with autistic adults. The autism quality of life measure was developed for use alongside two existing measures of quality of life developed by the World Health Organization. It was not developed as a questionnaire to be used in its own. The letter raises some concerns about the use of the autism quality of life measure as a standalone measure in a recent study by Caron et al., published in Autism.

Objective: to analyze the relation between resilience and demographic variables, quality of life and symptoms of depression in elderlies attended at a Geriatric Outpatient Clinic. Method: analytical cross-sectional study, conducted with 148 elderlies, with a questionnaire of sociodemographic and health characterization, the Resilience Scale, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Bref, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Old, and the Center for Epidemiologic Survey - Depression Scale. Descriptive statistics, Student’s t-test and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. Results: there was a positive correlation between resilience and schooling (r = 0.208; p = 0.010), income (r = 0.194; p = 0.017), the World Health Organization Quality of Life Bref (r = 0.242; p = 0.003), and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Old (r = 0.522; p <0.001), and negative correlation regarding symptoms of depression (r = -0.270; p = 0.001). Conclusion: Resilience presented relation to schooling, income, quality of life and symptoms of depression in the elderly. These results are expected to help the multidisciplinary team plan actions aimed at developing resilience towards the promotion of health and good quality of life in old age.

Keluarga merupakan unit paling dekat dengan pasien, dan merupakan perawat utama bagi pasien. Keluarga berperan dalam menentukan cara atau perawatan yang diperlukan pasien di rumah sakit. Keberhasilan perawat di rumah sakit akan sia-sia jika tidak diteruskan di rumah yang kemudian mengakibatkan pasien harus dirawat kembali (kambuh). Peran serta keluarga sejak awal perawatan di rumah sakit akan meningkatkan kemampuan keluarga merawat pasien di rumah sehingga memungkinkan pasien tidak kambuh atau dapat dicegah. Fungsi keluarga merupakan salah satu faktor penting dalam mendukung peningkatan kualitas hidup pasien penyakit kronis. Memiliki kualitas hidup yang baik akan mengurangi risiko terjadinya komplikasi yang dapat memperburuk keadaan. Kualitas hidup adalah persepsi individu mengenai posisi mereka dalam kehidupan sesuai dengan konteks budaya dan sistem nilai dimana mereka hidup, serta dalam hubungannya dengan harapan, tujuan, standar yang ditetapkan oleh individu tersebut. Instrumen penilaian kualitas hidup yang digunakan pada penelitian ini dikembangkan oleh sekelompok ahli dari WHO (2004) yaitu The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) - BREF yang telah diterjemahkan dalam Bahasa Indonesia dan dilakukan tes validasi. Penilaian terdiri dari empat dimensi, yaitu kondisi fisik, psikologis, hubungan sosial dan lingkungan individu. Hasil penjumlahan dari semua nilai pertanyaan dikelompokkan dalam kategori kualitas hidup baik dan yang kurang dalam kategori kualitas hidup kurang. Kualitas hidup tidak semata-mata didapat dengan sendirinya, namun merupakan peran dari berbagai faktor diantaranya adalah keluarga.

Objetivo: Identificar o impacto da pandemia do coronavírus SARS-CoV2, na qualidade de vida de estudantes do curso técnico em enfermagem, quanto ao período de suspensão do calendário acadêmico. Método: Estudo transversal desenvolvido mediante formulário on-line, com alunos de uma instituição pública. Utilizou-se questionário composto por questões sociodemográficas e pelo The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-bref). Resultados: Foram incluídos 55 participantes. 63,6% avaliaram sua qualidade de vida como boa e 47,3% estão satisfeitos com sua saúde. Na estratificação dos domínios do WHOQOL-bref, o “Físico” obteve o maior escore, 67,9%, enquanto o “Psicológico” teve o menor escore, 58,2%. O domínio “Psicológico” foi afetado significativamente pela situação conjugal (p = 0,0344), trabalho (p = 0,0392) e sustento da casa (p = 0,0196). Já a situação conjugal (p = 0,0025) e os filhos (p = 0,0212) tiveram relação significativa com a autoavaliação da qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Identificou-se que as variáveis relacionadas à situação conjugal, filhos, trabalho e sustento da casa alteram de forma significativa a qualidade de vida, durante a pandemia, dos estudantes investigados. Verificou-se também que, apesar da autoavaliação quanto à qualidade de vida e saúde serem boas, a dimensão psicológica é a mais afetada.
