“…There are numerous studies that explicitly address the limitations of not taking into account more than one of the parents, which shows that there is an ethical concern in this regard [35,39,42,43,45,46,[53][54][55]60,75,82,84]. Gardiner and Iarocci [91] indicate that in the future, research on the FQoL should include the voices of the different members of the family.…”

Background: In recent years, there has been a growing international interest in family quality of life The objective of this systematic review is to understand and analyze the conceptualization of the quality of life of families with children with disabilities between 0 and 6 years of age, the instruments for their measurement and the most relevant research results. Method: A bibliographic search was conducted in the Web of Science, Scopus and Eric databases of studies published in English and Spanish from 2000 to July 2019 focused on “family quality of life” or “quality of family life” in the disability field. A total of 63 studies were selected from a total of 1119 and analyzed for their theoretical and applied contributions to the field of early care. Results: The functional conceptualization of family quality of life predominates in this area, and a nascent and enriching holistic conceptualization is appreciated. There are three instruments that measure family quality of life in early care, although none of them is based on unified theory of FQoL; none of them focus exclusively on the age range 0–6 nor do they cover all disabilities. Conclusions: The need to deepen the dynamic interaction of family relationships and to understand the ethical requirement that the methods used to approach family quality of life respect the holistic nature of the research is noted.

“…Even though-as pointed out-numerous papers have in recent years have focused on the construction, validation, or study of tools to measure FQoL [14,20,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], authors agree on the need to continue to devote efforts to optimizing their internal structures and revising how they work in different populations in different contexts (socio-demographic, cultural, etc.) [25,29,31,39,40]. In this sense, after applying the CdVF-E < 18 and the CdVF-E > 18 scales for 5 years, we deemed it appropriate to revise them both and identify their internal structures for research [44,60] and intervention purposes in the Spanish context [61].…”

Background: Family quality of life (FQoL), just like individual quality of life, has become a priority outcome in the policies and services received by persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and their families. Conceptualizing, measuring, and theorizing FQoL has been the object of investigation in recent decades. The goal of this paper is to present a revision of the Spanish Family Quality of Life Scales, the CdVF-E < 18 and the CdVF-E >18, and describe the FQoL of Spanish families with a member with IDD. Methods: The sample included a total of 548 families with a member under 18 years old and 657 families with a member over 18. Based on an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) firstly and a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) secondly, the two scales’ psychometric properties were explored. Results: The CdVF-ER < 18 and the CdVF-ER > 18 comprise 5 dimensions, containing 35 and 32 items, respectively, and they show good validity and reliability. The families obtained a high FQoL score, although some differences exist between the dimensions on which families with children under and over 18 score highest and lowest. Conclusion: The characteristics of the revised scales facilitate their use by professionals, administrations, and services.

“…The BCFQOL scale is one of the most used scales with different samples from different cultures ( Park et al, 2003 ; Poston et al, 2003 ; Verdugo et al, 2005 ; Zuna et al, 2009 ; Balcells-Balcells et al, 2011 ; Meral et al, 2013 ; Parpa et al, 2016 ; Chiu et al, 2017 ; Schlebusch et al, 2017 ; Waschl et al, 2019 ; Balcells-Balcells et al, 2020 ; Kyzar et al, 2020 ). Psychometric properties were examined and showed good reliability and construct validity ( Hoffman et al, 2006 ), for example, in China, Hu et al (2012) findings supported the five-dimensional factor structure, and Chiu et al, 2017 results showed good fit indices for the five-factor model (first-order) with correlations between the five latent variables ranging from 0.70 to 0.93. In addition, similar findings with good psychometric properties in other different studies, such as, in the US ( Boehm et al, 2015 ), Turkey ( Meral et al, 2013 ), and Saudi Arabia ( Alnahdi et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Researchers used the total score as an indicator of the FQOL satisfaction level based on the overall mean score for all 25 items (e.g., Boehm et al, 2015 ; Chiu et al, 2017 ). According to Boehm et al (2015) , the use of the overall mean to examine predictors was justified because subscales were highly correlated.…”

AimThis study aimed to examine the dimensionality of the BCFQOL-AR using Rasch analysis.MethodThe sample consisted of 320 families having a member with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Rasch analysis was used to validate the dimensionality of the scale. The participants were from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.ResultsThe BCFQOL-AR 25-item scale was multidimensional. Rasch analyses support the unidimensionality of the five subscales. There were no indicators of differential item function for any of the items, regardless of sex or age.ConclusionThe BCFQOL-AR is a multidimensional scale that measures families with members who are satisfied with their quality of life. Therefore, obtaining a total score at the subscale level is supported and showed that each of the five subscales of the BCFQOL can be used alone. This study partially supports the practices used with other versions of the scale, by providing the statistical base, where means were used at the subscale level in different countries.

The Mandarin Chinese version of the Beach Centre Family Quality of Life Scale: development and psychometric properties in Taiwanese families of children with developmental delay

Abstract: This study showed that the Mandarin Chinese version of the BCFQOL is reliable and valid for Taiwanese families of children with DD. The instrument could be applied to assess FQOL in families of children with DD who are receiving EI in order to evaluate family services and supports.
