“…From the 1119 articles, 493 were discarded as duplicate materials and seven more publications were incorporated from additional sources. The breakdown of these seven publications is as follows: four theoretical studies, which provide definitions of FQoL [ 16 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]; the Family Quality of Life Survey (FQOLS-2006) [ 23 ] conducted by an international team of researchers; the study by García Grau et al [ 24 ] published months after the searches were conducted; an empirical study [ 25 ] found as grey literature. …”

“…There are six functional conceptualizations so far. Although the number of domains in each of the proposals varies (from 9 domains by the FQOL Survey-2006 [ 17 ] to 3 of the FEIQoL [ 24 ]), the following domain names are repeated: family, supports and financial.…”

“…The FQoL-S by Giné et al [ 19 ] covers up to 18 years of age. The FEIQoL of García Grau et al [ 24 ] focuses on the measurement of early care services [ 44 ] and puts emphasis on the factor “child functioning” [ 38 ]. These same authors [ 24 ] recognise not having conceptualized the EI as extensively as they did the other scales.…”

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.

Background: Over the past two decades, various research teams have designed and applied instruments to measure the quality of life of families with a member who has a disability. A recent systematic review on the state of art of Family Quality of Life in early care identified that many of these studies collected data only from the mothers. The present study aimed to investigate whether there is a bias in participant selection in these types of studies. Method: A systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted in the 3 databases from the year 2000 to 2022. A total of 72 empirical studies have been identified. Results: The findings indicated that most studies examining the family quality of life were based on the information of a single informant per family unit. The profiles of participants according to the research objective is quite similar. In one third of studies the authors report that family members who participate cannot be represented by only mothers or one participant per household. Conclusions: Given the dynamic and collective nature of the construct, the application of a systemic approach is necessary.

This study was carried out at the Centro de Atención Temprana y Escuela Infantil L'Alqueria, Universidad Catolica de Valencia, as part of the Observatorio Internacional de Atención Temprana y Desarrollo Infantil (International Observatory of Early Childhood Intervention and Development), and its aim was to identify the families' perceptions and role in the intervention process, the child's development, the quality of family life and their own empowerment. It involved the participation of a final sample of five families accompanied by four professionals for 11 months. The source of data used was audio recordings of the families, transcribed by the researcher, and the application of instruments before and after six months of intervention, which were analysed qualitatively. The analysis focused on the families' perceptions of the intervention process, child development, family quality of life and empowerment. The results indicate that families perceive the intervention as support, feel empowered to act in the contexts, learn strategies for child development and identify learning opportunities in their routines. Communication is valued, showing that families have a voice in the intervention process. The responses to the instruments indicate that families have a positive view of their children's development and perceive an improvement in the quality of family life. These findings point to the importance of evidence-based practices in Early Intervention.
