“…Previous studies have shown divergent results in the levels of physical activity between male and female with VI. While some indicate that there are no significant differences in physical activity levels between men and women, others report that males were more active and participatory in physical activities than females [9,35]. The latter corroborate with the results found in the present study, where men presented higher levels than women, mainly in vigorous activities.…”

AIMS: Little evidence demonstrates the influence of physical activity habits on the quality of life of people with visual impairment (VI). To gain a broader understanding, this study attempted to verify the relation between the habits of physical activity and quality of life in people with VI.METHODS: The sample consisted of 53 visually impaired volunteers. The Clinical and Sociodemographic Assessment Sheet, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short version and the Quality of Life Assessment Instrument (WHOQOL-Bref) were used.RESULTS: The mean age was 42.39±2.10 years, with a predominance of males and the mean Body Mass Index was 27.55±0.76. Predominant physical activity levels were between moderate to high. Males presented significantly higher levels of vigorous physical activity (p=0.033) and higher scores in WHOQOL-Bref, when compared to the female sex.CONCLUSION: The higher the physical activity levels of this population with VI, the better the quality of life. The participants had a predominance of moderate to high physical activity, as well as, the male presented higher levels of physical activity, when compared with the female in vigorous activities.

“…VI seems to have a substantial impact on an individual's health-related quality of life compared to other chronic conditions such as type II diabetes and hearing impairment [5]. It can significantly reduce participation in social, religious, mobility, visually intensive tasks, daily and workrelated activities [6][7][8][9].…”

“…Thus, if we have and infit value of 1.40, then we can assert that there is 40% more data variability compared to the prediction of the model; while an outfit of 0.80 indicates that 20% less data variability is observed with respect to the model´s prediction. There are different criteria in selecting the cut-off values of MNSQ (e.g., Cadime, Ribeiro, Viana, Santos, & Prieto, 2014;Lee, Zhu, Ackley-Holbrook, Brower & Mcmurray, 2014;Linacre, 2012;Prieto & Delgado, 2003). In our case, we used an approximate range of 0.7-1.3 for MNSQ values to be an appropriate indication of good fit between data and model.…”

Validation of the Spanish adaptation of the School Atitude Assessment Survey-Revised using multidimensional Rasch analysis

Abstract:The School Attitude Assessment Survey-Revised (SAAS-R) was developed by McCoach and Siegle (2003b) and validated in Spain by Miñano, Castejón, and Gilar (2014) using Classical Test Theory. The objective of the current research is to validate SAAS-R using multidimensional Rasch analysis. Data were collected from 1398 students attending different high schools. Principal Component Analysis supported the multidimensional SAAS-R. The item difficulty and person ability were calibrated along the same latent trait scale. 10 items were removed from the scale due to misfit with the Rasch model. Differential Item Functioning revealed no significant differences across gender for the remaining 25 items. The 7-category rating scale structure did not function well, and the subscale goal valuation obtained low reliability values. The multidimensional Rasch model supported 25 item-scale SAAS-R measures from five latent factors. Therefore, the advantages of multidimensional Rasch analysis are demonstrated in this study.
