Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale-39 (SAQOL-39)

Abstract: Background and Purpose-Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is a key outcome in stroke clinical trials. Stroke-specific HRQL scales (eg, SS-QOL, SIS) have generally been developed with samples of stroke survivors that exclude people with aphasia. We adapted the SS-QOL for use with people with aphasia to produce the Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale (SAQOL). We report results from the psychometric evaluation of the initial 53-item SAQOL and the item-reduced SAQOL-39. Methods-We studied 95 people with lo… Show more

“…However, general QoL tools sample different health outcomes and many of these fail to capture the potential treatment outcomes associated with the consequences of aphasia. Several tools have been developed explicitly to measure QoL and/or wellbeing of individuals with stroke or aphasia (Doyle et al, 2004;Engell et al, 2003;Hilari et al, 2003;Paul, Frattali, Holland, Thompson, Caperton, & Slater, 2005;Swinburn & Byng, 2006), but these available tools are either lengthy, communicatively inaccessible for severe aphasia, focused on stroke rather than aphasia, or have yet to be subjected to suffi cient psychometric testing for widespread use. Consequently, QoL is rarely formally evaluated among people with aphasia (Simmons-Mackie, Threats, & Kagan, 2005).…”

“…In addition to the ALA, measures administered at assessment time 1 included the CommunicationAssociated Psychological Distress Scale of the Burden of Stroke Scale (BOSS CAPD) (Doyle et al, 2004), the Visual Analogue Self-Esteem Scale (VASES) (Brumfi tt & Sheeran, 1999), the Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale-39 (SAQOL-39) (Hilari et al, 2003), and the severity scale of the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE) (Goodglass & Kaplan, 1983). Order of administration of the BOSS CAPD, VASES, SAQOL-39, and ALA was randomized for each participant.…”

“…El dominio de la comunicación tiene 7 ítems: dificultades para hablar, para usar el teléfono, para ser comprendido, para evocar las palabras, para repetir las palabras, problemas del lenguaje que afectan la vida familiar y social. Tiene una consistencia interna, fiabilidad test-retest y una validez de construcción aceptables; permite que hasta un 87% de los pacientes afásicos crónicos respondan dicha escala, lo que minimiza el papel de los cuidadores o proxy al momento de realizar la entrevista 41 .…”
