Validation of a Self-Perceived Adaptive Behaviors Scale in Older Chilean Women and Percentiles for Evaluation

“…The findings reported in this current study are similar to scales and inventories that have been submitted for validation using EFA and for reliability using internal consistency [ 43 , 44 , 45 ]. The similar proof and values obtained allowed for confirmation of each of the items and, consequently, acceptance of the dimensions.…”

Adapting a quality of life scale for children and young people with Down syndrome in Chile

“…For the validation, we performed a CFA, as the original authors did (Gómez, Verdugo, Arias, & Arias, 2011). This statistical procedure is one of the most used when validating the psychometric properties of an instrument (Carvajal et al, 2011) and has been often chosen by different investigators in the evaluation of QoL scales (Castro et al, 2017; Gómez et al, 2014, 2016, 2020; Verdugo et al, 2014). During the analysis and validation process, it was not necessary to eliminate questions that did not demonstrate good properties within the model that we used.…”

“…The KidsLife instrument, the scale from which KidsLife-Down originated, has been adapted into Spanish from different countries such as Colombia (Mora-Ant o et al, 2020). In Chile, the adaptation of other instruments to measure quality or satisfaction of life for different populations have been published, such as the transcultural adaptation and validation of a satisfaction with life scale for adolescents, and the adjustment of the Integral Scale of QoL for people with intellectual disability ( Álvarez et al, 2018;Castro et al, 2017;Verdugo et al, 2010). The adapted scale had a peer validation process, and as in others cases (Mora-Ant o et al, 2020), this version required a transcultural adaptation to Chilean Spanish, which was done with the opinion of an expert judges group, selected by their knowledge about DS condition and QoL, who evaluated changes done in the questions of the scale.…”

“…Bello Escamilla et al, 2017), the EuroQOL-5D (EQ-5D) scale (Zarate et al, 2011), and for adults with intellectual disability, the Integral Scale of QoL (Castro et al, 2017). There are no validated scales to assess the QoL of children and young people with DS, so the aim of this research is to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Kidslife-Down scale.…”

“…In Chile, some QoL scales have been object of validation, highlighting for example the WHOQOL‐BREF questionnaire for older people (Espinoza et al, 2011), the Family Quality of Life Scale (FQLS; Bello Escamilla et al, 2017), the EuroQOL‐5D (EQ‐5D) scale (Zarate et al, 2011), and for adults with intellectual disability, the Integral Scale of QoL (Castro et al, 2017). There are no validated scales to assess the QoL of children and young people with DS, so the aim of this research is to carry out the cross‐cultural adaptation and validation of the Kidslife‐Down scale.…”
