Introduction: Chronic kidney disease and hemodialysis normally have an impact on the functioning. Objective: To validate the Brazilian version of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 in individuals with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis treatment. Methods: The 36-item version was applied to interview 51 individuals with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis treatment. To ascertain the instrument’s applicability, its internal consistency and test-retest stability were studied. To check the validity, a convergent/divergent analysis was performed. Results: The participants answered the questions on the main instrument at two timepoints and on the World Health Organization Quality of Life Abbreviated instrument and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life - Short FormTM 1.3 once each. Cronbach’s α coefficient was appropriate in all domains except the “Getting along” domain. The test-retest coefficients were above the recommended value (> 0.70). Convergent and divergent validity analysis also showed consistent results by correlation coefficient assessment. Conclusion: The instrument is valid and reliable. This study supports the use of the questionnaire by presenting its appropriate psychometric properties. We suggest that some care should be taken specifically in the sexual questions of the “Getting along” domain.
Este é um estudo transversal, quantitativo e descritivo, realizado em Uberaba-MG de agosto de 2016 a fevereiro de 2017, com objetivo de avaliar e correlacionar aspectos sociodemográficos e clínicos com a qualidade de vida de indivíduos com doença renal crônica em hemodiálise. Utilizaram-se os seguintes instrumentos, aplicados em 51 participantes: questionários com informações sociodemográficas/clínicas e o KidneyDiseaseandQualityof Life Short Form 1.3, pontuado pelo “ScoringProgram (v2.0)”. Foram realizadostestes de normalidade e análise inferencial de correlação. Os domínios com melhores resultados foram “Função Sexual”, “Função Cognitiva” e “Apoio da equipe da diálise”, e os piores “Situação de trabalho”, “Papel da limitação física” e “Saúde Física”. Os domínios “funcionalidade física” e “Saúde Física” correlacionaram-se negativamente com idade (r=-0,521 e r=-0,380, respectivamente) e “Saúde Geral” e “Efeitos da doença renal” com peso seco (r=-0,319 e r=-0,502, respectivamente).Esses resultados indicam o comprometimento da qualidade de vida, necessitando de atenção geral a esses indivíduos junto a ações que promovam melhores condições gerais de saúde.
