Abstract Background: To develop and assess the psychometric properties of the Postpartum Sexual Quality of Life Scale (PSQLS) in Iran.Methods: We employed a mixed-method approach. In the qualitative phase (17 interviews and two focus groups), we generated items for the scale. In the quantitative phase (n = 282), we assessed the psychometric properties of the pre-final version.Results: The final version contained 22 items. Exploratory factor analysis indicated a 5-factor solution that jointly accounted for 59.6 % of the variance. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.87.Conclusion: The PSQLS showed good validity and reliability and could be used to evaluate women’s postpartum sexual life.

Level Of Significance

The aim of this study was to detect the level of optimism and pessimism and its relation to the quality of life in patients with renal failure in the government and private hospitals in Irbid in light of the variables: gender, age, duration of disease and educational level of patients, the sample of the study consisted of (93) patients with kidney failure, who were randomly selected from the study population. The researchers used optimism and pessimism scale and the quality of life scales, their validity and reliability were verified. Results of the study showed that the means for optimism scale ranged between (3.602-3.075) with a medium degree, and the means for pessimism scale ranged between (4.086-3.118) with a high and medium degree, while the means for quality of life scale ranged between (4.054-2.957) with a high and medium degree. Results also showed the existence of a correlation between the level of optimism and the level of quality of life and this relationship is a moderate relationship, and a lack of correlation between level of optimism and level of pessimism and level of pessimism and quality of life. There are no statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.05) in the patients' responses on the optimism, pessimism scales according to (gender, family income, medical insurance and origin).

Abstract Purpose The 15- and 10-item short forms of the Singapore Caregiver Quality of Life Scale (SCQOLS-15 and SCQOLS-10) were recently developed as a quick assessment of caregiver quality of life. Reference values describing the distribution of the total and domain scores are available for the full-length version, but they are not yet available for the short forms. This study aimed to estimate the reference values for the short forms. Methods Data from a cross-sectional survey of 612 family caregivers of patients with advanced cancer in Singapore were fitted in quantile regression models. Percentiles were estimated by regressing the short forms’ scores on caregiver characteristics. Classification by the reference values for the short forms and the full-length version were compared and agreement was evaluated. Results The caregiver’s role in caring for the patient and the patient’s performance status were associated with the percentiles of the total scores and most domain scores (each Bonferroni-adjusted p-value, PB, < 0.05). Higher-educated caregivers were categorized into higher percentiles according to the SCQOLS-15 and SCQOLS-10 total scores and the SCQOLS-15 Mental Well-being and Financial Well-being domain scores (each PB < 0.05). Ethnicity was associated with the SCQOLS-15 Physical Well-being and Experience & Meaning domains (each PB < 0.05). The percentiles for the short forms showed moderate to substantial agreement with those for the full-length version in terms of classifying caregivers into percentile intervals (quadratic-weighted Kappa = 0.72 to 0.92). Conclusion Reference values for the SCQOLS-15 and SCQOLS-10 were estimated in relation to caregiver characteristics to facilitate interpretation of the short form scores.
