“…For the construct validity of the CEQ-Br, a good correlation was identified between the total CEQ-Br score and all SF-36 domains. The SF-36 is widely used for analyzing construct validity in patient-reported health measurement instruments such as the Brazilian Portuguese versions of the Neck/Bournemouth Questionnaire [ 16 ] and the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire [ 17 ]. Participants reported that the CEQ-Br was easy to answer, and only 14.3% of women considered it difficult or very difficult to answer.…”

Background: The Childbirth Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) is a tool designed to assess women's perceptions about labor and delivery. The aim of this study was to perform the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the CEQ (CEQ-Br). Methods: The original version of the CEQ was translated into Portuguese, analyzed by a committee of experts, back translated, and finally submitted to pilot-test. Two applications of the CEQ-Br were performed along with the quality of life questionnaire Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). The SPSS software was used for statistical analysis, the intraclass correlation coefficient was used to investigate test-retest reliability, the internal consistency was investigated with the Cronbach's Alpha, and the construct validity was investigated via the Spearman correlation test. The level of significance was set at 5%. Results: The study included 308 women with a mean age of 31.1 ± 8.7 years. The internal consistency results for the total CEQ-Br score was considered adequate (0.89), the test-retest showed a substantial result with an ICC of 0.90, and the construct validity was analyzed via the Spearman correlation between all SF-36 dimensions and the total CEQ-B score, the analyses were considered adequate. Conclusions: The results presented in this CEQ-Br validation study showed that the instrument was reliable in measuring the established psychometric properties and was considered valid. Therefore, the CEQ-Br can be applied to the Brazilian population.

“…However, transplantation may be a traumatic and highly stressful experience, among other reasons, because of the risks involved. Among these are death, relapse of the disease and dependency on immunosuppressants which may negatively interfere with the recipient’s quality of life (Grinyó et al, 2012; Pérez-San-Gregorio et al, 2012). Fantasies about the donor, symptoms of anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress, or rejection of body image are psychological problems that usually appear after transplantation (Pérez-San-Gregorio et al, 2005; Baranyi et al, 2013; Annema et al, 2015).…”

Our objective was to analyze the differences in posttraumatic growth in 240 liver transplant recipients based on two factors. First, self-perceived health: better (Group 1 = G 1 ) and worse (Group 2 = G 2 ). Second, vitality: more (Group 3 = G 3 ) and less (Group 4 = G 4 ). The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, SF-36 Health Survey (Item 2) and SF-12 Health Survey (vitality dimension) were used. Firstly, analyzing main effects recipients with better (G 1 ) compared to worse (G 2 ) self-perceived health, showed greater posttraumatic growth. Interaction effects were found on essential posttraumatic growth domains such as new possibilities ( p = 0.040), personal strength ( p = 0.027), and appreciation of life ( p = 0.014). Statistically significant differences showed that among transplant recipients with worse self-perceived health (G 2 ), those with more vitality had higher levels on abovementioned posttraumatic growth dimensions. However, in transplant recipients with better self-perceived health (G 1 ) respective dimensions were not significantly influenced by the level of vitality. Among the recipients with less vitality (G 4 ), those with better self-perceived health showed higher scores on abovementioned posttraumatic growth dimensions. We conclude that positive self-perceived health might compensate for a lack of vitality as well as a high level of vitality may compensate for negative self-perceived health regarding the development of crucial aspects of posttraumatic growth after liver transplantation.

“…A particular specific instrument is the Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ), developed by Younossi et al [8] . It is useful in all etiologies of liver disease at any severity stage [2,3] and appears to provide a valuable measure of HRQoL in CLD across different cultures [2,3,[12][13][14][15] .…”

Introduction: Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection impacts multiple health and psychosocial dimensions and encompasses a significant overall burden as it progresses to advanced stages of hepatic disease. Aims: To evaluate for the first time health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of a subset of Portuguese adult patients with chronic hepatitis C using the Portuguese versions of generic, Short-Form 12 Health Survey (SF-12v2), and disease-specific, Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ), instruments; to assess psychometric properties of CLDQ, Portuguese version. Methods: HRQoL was evaluated in Portuguese adult outpatients with chronic hepatitis C attending the Hepatology Clinic at Centro Hospitalar do Porto, using SF-12v2 and CLDQ. This transversal study was conducted between April and October 2015. Results: Eighty outpatients with chronic hepatitis C were enrolled, with mean age 57 years (standard deviation 11), 67.5% male, all Caucasian, 76.3% diagnosed for >10 years, 66.3% with C virus genotype 1, 65.0% with hepatic cirrhosis (94.2% of which Child-Pugh A), and 46.3% under current antiviral treatment. For CLDQ internal consistency, Cronbach's α was 0.88; for construct validity, correlations ranged from 0.36 to 0.80 (p < 0.01). Mean CLDQ scores ranged from 4.25 (Worry) to 5.78 (Abdominal Symptoms). Lower scores were observed for Worry, Fatigue, and Emotional Function domains. Statistically significant differences were found in median values of Worry (CLDQ) and Role Emotional (SF-12) (p < 0.05) for “current antiviral treatment,” with higher scores for patients that concluded therapy. Conclusion: HRQoL was negatively affected in several domains in Portuguese patients with chronic hepatitis C; oral antiviral treatment correlated with better quality of life, assuring its benefits on this population; the CLDQ Portuguese version revealed adequate psychometric properties, and was useful in assessing quality of life in Portuguese HCV patients.
