“…This complex situation has led to trying different approaches with generic and specific instruments, trying to answer problems in discipline and methodology, often hampered by the lack of conceptual models that support the research. From this the relevance of the alignment of the concept of quality with the paradigm of the reported supports (9)(10) .…”

This study presents the results obtained from the evaluation, by specialist judges, of the Supports Intensity Scale (SIS), Spanish version, to determine its suitability for the Mexican population with severe mental illness (SMI). The instrument, originally designed for people with intellectual disabilities, is consistent with the multidimensional concept of quality of life and the social model of disability. The semantic equivalence of the items adjusted by specialist judges, the reliability of the subscales, using Cronbach's alpha, and the concurrent validity between the SIS and the Global Functioning Assessment (GAF) were analyzed. The mean similarity to the original was 9.91 from a total of 10 (sd=0.14). The reliability coefficients were above 0.95 and the correlations between the SIS and the GAF were medium to high and significant. In conclusion, in the Mexican context, the SIS scale can be used to understand the needs and expectations of people with mental illness.

“…According to research literature domain-specific perceptions, behaviors and conditions are considered useful in providing information on person's well-being and the basis for assessing QoL-related personal outcomes [47,30]. Assessing QoL may require, then, analyzing the degree to which people living with a disabling condition have life experiences that they value, and include both experiences common to all humans and those unique to individuals.…”

“…Additionally, as regards QoL, we will refer here to a multidimensional construct which is composed by several domains such as emotional well-being, material and physical well-being, interpersonal relationship, personal and professional development, self-determination, social inclusion and supports, residential environment [28][29][30]. Finally, both objective and subjective aspects, together with life satisfaction experienced in domains mentioned above are taken into account [31][32][33].…”

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of several dimensions of functioning on satisfaction for quality of life (QoL) experienced by visually impaired older adults. Participants: A sample of 58 older adults (37 women and 21 men) was involved in the study. Their age ranged from 50 to 88 years (M = 68.95, SD = 1.51). They were characterized by visual impairment of different origin and visual acuity (VA) ranging from 4/10 to total blindness. The QoL questionnaire was used along with short form-12 health Survey, the National Eye Institute visual function questionnaire-25 and problem solving inventory (PSI) which analyzes problem solving appraisal. Results: A stepwise regression analysis was conducted in order to find predictors of satisfaction for QoL. A contribution of mental and physical health, more specifically, of problem solving appraisal was found. Conclusion: Results support the notion that the functional relationship between visual impairment and satisfaction for QoL must be understood in terms of approaches that incorporate psychological and socio-cognitive elements. Problem solving appraisal, in fact, makes a substantial contribution to the prediction of variance in life satisfaction and it may play an important role for intervention strategies.Keywords: daily functioning; mental and physical health; older adults; problem solving appraisal and satisfaction for quality of life; visually impaired.

“…The current study outcomes stress the requirement for alignment of support activities to outcomes. The lack of alignment could result in waste of resources and outcomes different from personal desires and/or not QoL related (Schalock, Verdugo, Bonham, Fantova, & Van Loon, 2008).…”

Background: This study describes the socio-demographic, clinical and functional characteristics of a representative sample of services users in Italy. The supports provided by formal agencies, natural networks and actual levels of quality of life (QoL) were assessed. Methods: 1,285 individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) served by 23 different services participated to the study. The influence of availability of support strategies, environmental factors, client characteristics, personal desires and goals, and support needs on the current QoL status was investigated using multiple regression. Results: QoL outcomes were significantly explained by support needs, client characteristics, personal goals and desires, and marginally by the presence of support strategies and environmental factors. Further, only a minor effect was found from support activities for general QoL outcomes. Conclusions: the results confirmed that the personal outcomes could be predicted providing support activities aligned to the specific personal needs and goals, confirming the importance of Personal Centered Planning process.
