Introduction. Evaluation of innovative instruments
is important prior to its use in different settings; particu-larly, when they involve the assessment of concepts like
quality of life (QOL).
Objective. To evaluate the internal structure (IS),
factorial structure (FE), discriminant validity (DV), and
time required for completion and ease of use of the Mul-ticultural Quality of Life (MQLI) in Argentina.
Method. The sample included 100 subjects divided
into two groups with presumed different levels of QOL.
The Cronbach’s alpha was calculated for the IC and the
FE was analyzed in the total sample. The DV was studied
comparing statistically the average score in a group of
psychiatric patients (presumed «lower» QOL, n = 50) with
a group of heath professionals and students (presumed
«higher» QOL, n = 50). Data on the time and ease of use
was compiled.
Results.A high Cronbach’s α(0.88) was documen-ted. The factorial analysis showed two feasible solutions,
one extracting one component with an explained va-riance of 46.7 %, and another one with two components,
increasing the explained variance to 57.2 %. A signifi-cant difference between mean total scores was found for
the groups with different levels of QOL. The time to com-plete the MQLI was less than 5 minutes and was reported
by the majority of subjects (84 %) and the interviewers
(90 %) as of easy application.
Conclusions. The results showed that the MQLI has a
high internal consistency, adequate factorial structure,
and is capable of discriminating groups with different
QOL levels; it is concise, and easy to use. |
