“…In another study involving elderly Chinese, Chan et al (2004) found that life quality meant the same thing as life satisfaction, happiness, or a good life. Lau, Cummins, and McPherson (2005) found a similar lack of differentiation between happiness and satisfaction within Chinese culture.…”

“…The PWI was created by the International Wellbeing Group (International Wellbeing Group 2006;Lau et al 2005;Rodriguez-Blazquez et al 2011) and consists of seven items on satisfaction with the following quality of life domains: standard of living; health; achievement in life; personal relationships; safety and protection; community-connectedness; future security; and protection. Items are scored from 0 (completely dissatisfied) to 10 (completely satisfied) with the midpoint, 5, indicating a neutral feeling.…”

“…Specifically, satisfaction scales are extensively used as they represent judgments of an individual's life as a whole or with respect to specific domains (Bowling 2005;Diener 1994). Accordingly, QoL is largely operationalized through subjective measures such as the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI), which has been used in many different contexts (International Wellbeing Group 2006;Lau et al 2005;Rodriguez-Blazquez et al 2011).…”

Components and determinants of quality of life in community-dwelling older adults

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The objectives of this study are to detect the main components of global quality of life (QoL) of community-dwelling older adults from their own perspective and to identify determinants of health-related and global QoL in the same population. This is a cross-sectional study covering a representative sample of 1,106 communitydwelling adults aged 60 years and older residing in Spain. The survey collected information on QoL through a face-toface interview asking for QoL components in free-format, as well as the completion of two QoL measures, the EQ-5D and the Personal Wellbeing Index. The most important QoL dimensions, according to the participants of this study, were health, family, and finances. Depression was the main determinant of both QoL indices, while functional independence and social support specifically influenced health-related and global QoL, respectively. Based on the perspective of the older adults as well as on statistical analysis, this work emphasizes the importance of health, family, and social support as areas of special interest in aging. There was a discrepancy when comparing findings related to the importance of financial status. Results also support that global and health-related QoL share some common determinants, but with different weights for functional independence and social support.Keywords Global quality of life Á Health-related quality of life Á Community-dwelling Á Older adults Á Multimethod data

“…The evaluation of several equivalences, the detailing of the steps and the methodological rigor are also highlighted in other studies that used the same reference to adapt instruments (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) .…”

“…There is also an open question that allows the caregiver to add some aspect not covered in the instrument. The quantitative step includes closed questions and seven scales in the public domain, namely: Filial Responsibility Expectation Item-Scale (11) , Filial Piety Scale (12) , Caregiver Burden Inventory (13) , Life Satisfaction Scale (14) , the Personal Wellbeing Index (15) , Relationship Quality Measurement Scale (16) , Basic Activities of Daily Life Scale (ADLs) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scales (IADLs) (17)(18) . Scales are applied to the caregiver to assess care behavior, their activities, and the frequency and time required to perform them.…”

Approval: 01-27-2017 ABSTRACT Objective: To carry out a cross-cultural adaptation of the Filial Responsibility protocol for use in Brazil with adult child caregivers for elderly parents. Method: A methodological study that included the steps of initial translation, synthesis of translations, back-translation, committee of experts, pre-test, evaluation of psychometric measures and submission to authors. The protocol comprises a qualitative step, closed questions and seven scales: Filial Expectation, Subsidiary Compassion, Caregiver burden, Life Satisfaction, Personal Well-being and Quality of Relationships. Results: The final version in Portuguese was applied, through a pre-test, to a sample of 30 caregivers for elderly parents. In order to verify internal consistency, we used Cronbach's alpha coefficient: Filial Expectation (α = 0.64), Filial Duty (α = 0.65), Satisfaction with Life (α = 0.75), Personal Wellbeing (α = 0.87). Final considerations: The Brazilian version presented good conceptual and face equivalence. The results demonstrate that the concepts used in the Canadian protocol are applicable in the Brazilian context. Descriptors: Validation Studies; Aging; Caregivers; Elderly; Geriatric Nursing. RESUMOObjetivo: Realizar a adaptação transcultural do protocolo Filial Responsibility para uso no Brasil com filhos cuidadores de idosos. Método: Estudo metodológico que compreendeu as etapas de tradução inicial, síntese das traduções, retrotradução, comitê de especialistas, pré-teste, avaliação das medidas psicométricas e submissão aos autores. O protocolo é composto por uma etapa qualitativa, questões fechadas e sete escalas, entre elas: Expectativa Filial, Piedade Filial, Sobrecarga do Cuidador, Satisfação com a Vida, Bem-Estar Pessoal e Qualidade dos Relacionamentos. Resultados: A versão final em português foi aplicada, por meio de pré-teste, a uma amostra de 30 filhos cuidadores de idosos. Para verificar a consistência interna, utilizouse o coeficiente alfa de Cronbach: Expectativa Filial (α=0,64), Dever Filial (α=0,65), Satisfação com a Vida (α=0,75), Índice de Bem-Estar Pessoal (α=0,87). Considerações finais: A versão brasileira apresentou boa equivalência conceitual e semântica. Os resultados demonstram que os conceitos utilizados no protocolo canadense são aplicáveis ao contexto brasileiro.
