“…We administered an exploratory factor analysis (EFAs) by a principal component extraction method for determining the construct validity of the WQOLI. The number of respondents required for factor analysis was 5 for each statement (14,15). In this step, 590 women who had the criteria for entering the research were selected through randomized cluster sampling and completed the questionnaires from November 2017 to January 2018.…”

Background: Half of Iran’s population is made up of women and their decisive role in the family is undeniable so their health should be prioritized. In order to determine the health needs and promote women's health, their quality of life should be investigated. For this purpose, a valid tool is needed, which has credible validity and reliability, and its concepts are clearly defined and culturally appropriate. Methods: This is a sequential exploratory mixed-method research carried out in accordance with the Creswell method in three phases from May 2016 to January 2018 in Tehran. 1- qualitative phase in order to identify the key concept, 2- development of tools with the extraction of items, 3- Determine the psychometric properties of the tool. Results: Initially, from exploratory analyses (interviewing 40 women), a total of 150 items were extracted. After performing the face and content validity, 32 items were deleted. S-CVI/Ave was obtained for the instrument (0.93). The factor structure of the inventory was identified by undertaking a principal component analysis in a sample of 590 women. Five factors were extracted with a total variance account of 56.24% and 28 items dropped at this point. The Iranian women’s Quality of Life Instrument (IWQOLI) score was significantly correlated with the SF-36 (r = 0.717, p < 0.001). Reliability was demonstrated with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.919 for the entire scale (90-item). Consistency of the instrument was established with test-retest reliability with an interval of 2 weeks (intra-cluster correlation = 0.889, P < 0.001). Conclusions: The Iranian women’s Quality of lifeInstrument “IWQOLI”, consisting of 90 items representing 5 domains (sense of peace in life, sense of security, health responsibility, pleasant communication, received comprehensive support), demonstrated excellent psychometric properties, so it may be used for measuring women’s QOL in practical research.

Background To determine the health needs and promote women's health, their quality of life should be investigated. For this purpose, a valid tool is needed, that has credible validity and reliability, and its concepts are clearly defined and culturally appropriate. This study aimed to develop and assess the psychometric properties of “Iranian Women’s Quality of Life Instrument (IWQOLI)”. Methods The items of “IWQOLI” were generated from themes extracted (150 items) from a content analysis approach with the participation of 40 women. Face validity of the questionnaire with the participation of 10 women and content validity by 10 experts was approved. To determine the domains of the questionnaire, exploratory factor analysis (principal component extraction method) was performed. Internal consistency and test—retest reliability methods with 14-day intervals (30 women) were used to assess the reliability of WQOLI. Results After performing the face and content validity, 32 items were deleted. S-CVI/Ave was obtained for the instrument (0.93). The factor structure of the inventory was identified by undertaking a principal component analysis in a sample of 590 women. Five factors were extracted with a total variance account of 56.24% and 28 items dropped at this point. The IWQOLI score was significantly correlated with the SF-36 (r = 0.717, p < 0.001).

Anemia among Adolescent Girls in West Java, Indonesia: Related Factors and Consequences on the Quality of Life

et al. 2022

Anemia in adolescent girls is still a problem in Indonesia. The impact of anemia is quite significant for adolescent health. This study aims to analyze related factors of anemia among adolescent girls, and the effect of anemia on the quality of life. The study was conducted in the Soreang District, West Java, Indonesia. This cross-sectional study involved 286 female students (15–19 years). A 24-h recall questionnaire was used to collect the nutrient intake. We use the WHOQOL-BREF to analyze the quality of life. The study assessed height, weight, body mass index (BMI), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), and a capillary blood sample to determine hemoglobin levels. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression tests were measured to find the factors most influencing anemia. The prevalence of anemia was 14.3%. Related factors of anemia in this study were: duration of blood show per menses, iron consumption, weight, height, and MUAC. From bivariate analyses, anemia influenced the social relationships domain with p < 0.05. Multivariate logistic regression showed that the most influencing factors for anemia were MUAC and duration of blood per menses. Anemia impacted the social relationships domain. In this study, the two main factors that affected anemia were MUAC and duration of blood each menstrual cycle.
