Cross-Cultural Adaptation, Validity and Reliability of the Escala Pessoal de Resultados

Quality of life assessment in intellectual disabilities: The Escala Pessoal de Resultados versus the World Health Quality of Life-BREF

“…EPR' items were selected based on empirical strand of the content validity, which allowed an objective evidence of QOL indicators adapted to the Portuguese language and culture (Simões & Santos, 2014). The EPR was validated in Portugal, with adequate psychometric characteristics related to the reliability and the validity coefficients (Simões & Santos, 2014).…”

“…The EPR was validated in Portugal, with adequate psychometric characteristics related to the reliability and the validity coefficients (Simões & Santos, 2014).…”

“…The scores of the EPR were weakly to moderately correlated with the domain scores of the WHOQOL-BREF. In addition, personal development and self-determination (EPR) are not correlated with the subscales of the WHOQOL-BREF, although these domains should be considered to assess the QOL in the field of ID (Brown et al, 2009;Buntinx & Schalock, 2010;Claes et al, 2010;Jenaro et al, 2005;Schalock & Verdugo, 2002;Schalock et al, , 2007Schalock, 2004;Simões & Santos, 2014;Van Loon et al, 2009;Verdugo et al, 2005;Wang et al, 2010).…”

“…QOL of people with ID is an important topic in health, rehabilitation, and special education services. In Portugal, the concept of QOL is being used in the field of ID to guide programming or community-based supports in institutions (Moniz, 2007;Simões & Santos, 2014).…”

“…The WHOQOL-BREF is being developed as a short version of the WHOQOL-100 to be used in situations where time is restricted, where respondent burden must be minimized, and where facet-level detail is unnecessary (Canavarro et al, 2007;Fleck et al, 2000;Fleck, 2000;Noerholm et al, 2004;Serra et al, 2006;Skevington et al, 2004;WHO Group, 1998b). The EPR consists of eight domains (see Table 1) that have been validated in several cross-cultural studies: personal developmental, self-determination, interpersonal relations, social inclusion, rights, emotional well-being, physical wellbeing, and material well-being (Brown et al, 2009;Buntinx & Schalock, 2010;Claes et al, 2010;Jenaro et al, 2005;Schalock & Verdugo, 2002;Schalock et al, 2007;Simões & Santos, 2014;Van Loon et al, 2009;Verdugo et al, 2005;Wang et al, 2010). The WHOQOL-BREF consists of four domains (see Table 1) that have been also validated across different cultures and countries: physical, psychological, social, and environmental (Aigner et al, 2006;Canavarro et al, 2007;Fleck et al, 2000;Fleck, 2000;Mattevi, Bredemeier, Fam, & Fleck, 2012;Noerholm et al, 2004;Serra et al, 2006;Skevington et al, 2004;Trompenaars, Masthoff, Heck, Hodiamont, & Vries, 2005;WHO Group, 1998b).…”
