Psychometric properties of the Dutch WHOQOL-OLD

Abstract: BackgroundTo assess the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of the Dutch version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument-Older Adults Module (WHOQOL-OLD).MethodsThe psychometric properties of the Dutch WHOQOL-OLD were examined in a cross-sectional study using a sample of 1,340 people aged 60 years or older. Participants completed a Web-based questionnaire, the ‘Senioren Barometer’. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha and corrected item-total correlations. Co… Show more

“…The estimated internal consistency measures of reliability (Cronbach's alpha coefficient) for the total and subscales of the WHOQOL-OLD-P in the present study were in the acceptable range (> 0.7) [40] which is somehow consistent with the findings of other psychometric studies of the WHOQOL-OLD module on other sociocultural contexts [11-17, 19, 36]. The only observed incongruity among the conducted validation studies were low estimated internal consistency measure of the Cronbach's alpha for the "social participation" subscale in the Australasian study [37], for the autonomy subscale in the Spanish, German and Turkish studies [12,17,19] and for the "past, present and future activities" subscale in the Norwegian study [15].…”

“…Recently, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument—Older Adults Module (WHOQOL-OLD), an instrument containing specific quality of life facets important for older people (eg, items related to death and dying), 33 has been validated among Dutch older people and its psychometric properties were satisfactory. 34 …”
