[Assessment of a version adapted and translated into Spanish of the Quality of Life XXXX Questionnaire].

@entity1 @entity162 @entity2403
BACKGROUND: The Quality of life @entity162 (QoL. @entity2403 ) Questionnaire specifically measures quality of life in @entity1 with @entity162 . AIM: To adapt a version translated into Spanish of the questionnaire and assess its validity in Chilean @entity1 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: The QoL. @entity2403 was adapted to the Chilean population through the back-translation method and then administered to 32 adult @entity1 with a @entity162 and 31 subjects without the disease, both groups with similar socioeconomic status. To confirm the diagnosis, the International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI), Young (YMRS) and Hamilton (HAM-D) scales were applied. Quality of life was assessed using the SF-36v.2 survey. We determined internal consistency, reliability, convergent validity, the cut-off point, and the sensibility and specificity of the scale. RESULTS: The Chilean version of the Questionnaire [QoL. @entity2403 -CL] had a high reliability (a = 0.95) and a high validity in reference to external criteria (correlation coefficients with SF-36 ranging from 0.453 and 0.819; p < 0.01). A cut-off point of 170, with sensitivity of 87.9% and specificity of 80% was determined. CONCLUSIONS: QoL. @entity2403 -CL has adequate psychometric properties, as well as an adequate sensitivity and specificity to distinguish between negative and positive perceptions of life quality in Chilean @entity1 with @entity162 .
