“…Due to usage of a range of condition-specific (MI, heart failure, angina) questionnaires in different studies and considering their inherent inaccuracy and lacking of the required specificity for general usage, cross comparison of the studies’ result on quality of life of the patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) is absurd. [9] The HeartQoL tool developed by Oldridge N et al [10] is a relatively new hybrid scale to measure health-related quality of life in patients with IHD and studied on patients across 22 countries and 15 languages. [9] The scale development was based on the three well known condition-specific instruments to measure patients’ quality of life i.e.…”

BackgroundCardiovascular diseases (CVD) as a most frequent and costly NCDs account for about 17.3 million annual deaths worldwide. About 80% of these deaths are taking place in low and middle income countries (LMIC). The survivors may experience severe disabling consequences with extensive impacts on their quality of life. The HeartQoL is a relatively new scale to measure health-related quality of life in CVD patients and was validated for use in other languages. Main aim of the present study was to validate the HeartQoL for Persian speaking populations.Design and methodsIn this cross-sectional study the participants were 557 admitted patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) across three specialized hospitals in Tabriz, North West of Iran from Sep 2014 to Feb 2015. Translation back-translation procedures were applied to prepare the Persian version of the HeartQol (HeartQoL-P) and the content validity of the scale was evaluated by an expert panel of 10 academic staff. Construct validity was assessed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The internal consistency was assessed based on the numeric value of Cronbach’s alpha and sensitivity of the measure according to the ceiling and floor effect’s values.ResultsThe two-factor structure of the HeartQoL-P was supported by the confirmatory factor analysis’ outputs and good internal consistency measures (total score α = 0.94) (physical subscale (10 items) α = 0.95) and emotional subscale (4items) α = 0.80)). No ceiling and floor effects were observed for the overall HeartQol-P’s score.ConclusionThe findings supported the HeartQoL-P usability as a valid instrument in studies on the Iranian or other Persian speaking patients.

“…Hybrid measures, such as this one, have been developed in other health domains including chronic illness as a whole (30), heart disease (31), and liver disease (32). The NEQOL has the potential for both clinical and research utility; further validation is warranted in larger, more racially diverse samples and among conditions that were poorly represented in the current study (i.e., Barrett’s esophagus).…”

OBJECTIVES Measures of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in chronic esophageal conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, and achalasia are widely used to measure this important patient-reported outcome. We seek to leverage these existing measures to create a hybrid measure of esophageal illness HRQOL (the Northwestern Esophageal Quality of Life—NEQOL), allowing for broad use across diseases while maintaining sensitivity to nuances of a specific condition. METHODS A three-step, mixed-methods process per FDA guidelines for patient-reported outcome (PRO) development was followed: review and consolidation of existing HRQOL measure items into a single questionnaire, reliability and validity analyses (principle components factor analysis, Cronbach alpha, Guttman split-half, inter-item correlation, test–retest correlation, and Pearson’s correlation with related constructs) based on responses from a representative sample of esophageal illness patients, and individual structured cognitive interviews with patients for item refinement and reduction. RESULTS An initial 30-item measure was created. Two-hundred twelve patients completed the reliability and validity portion of the study, and 15 completed cognitive interviews. Factor analysis and item-reduction resulted in 11 items being removed from the NEQOL prior to patient interviews. Construct validity was supported by moderate and significant correlations with psychological distress and general HRQOL. Test–retest reliability was excellent. Following patient interviews, an additional 5 items were removed because of floor effects or participant feedback yielding a 14-item, single scale measure of HRQOL. CONCLUSIONS Although more research is warranted, the NEQOL is a reliable and a valid hybrid measure of disease-specific HRQOL across several chronic esophageal conditions.

Koroner arter hastalıkları sık görülen ve yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkileyen bir sağlık sorunudur. Bu çalışma Kalp Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği'nin Türkçeye uyarlanması amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntemler: Bu metodolojik çalışma, bir üniversite hastanesinin kardiyoloji polikliniğinde, 21 Ocak-24 Nisan 2017 tarihleri arasında koroner arter hastası 180 hasta ile yapılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak "Kişisel Bilgi Formu", "Kalp Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği" ve "MacNew Kalp Hastalığı Sağlıkla İlgili Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır. Kalp Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği'nin geçerliği; kapsam geçerliği, ölçüt geçerliği ve yapı geçerliği ile belirlenmiştir. Ölçeği güvenirliğini test etmek için iç tutarlık ve madde analizleri yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın yürütülebilmesi için etik kurul, kurum izni ve katılımcılardan yazılı izinler alınmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 62.4±8.30, %77.2'si erkeklerden oluşmaktadır. Geçerlik analizi sonucunda, Kalp Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği'nin iki alt boyuttan oluştuğu belirlenmiştir. Ölçeklerin orijinal yapısından çıkarılan madde olmamıştır. Kalp Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği'nin Cronbach alfa güvenirlik katsayısı genel 0.88, alt boyutlarında 0.74 ile 0.87 olarak bulunmuştur. Madde analizleri incelendiğinde madde ortalamalarının birbirine yakın, alt üst grup ortalamalarına göre maddelerin ayırt edici özelliğinin yüksek ve ölçeğin koroner arter hastalarının yaşam kalitesini ölçmede güvenilir olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Kalp Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği Türkçe versiyonunun koroner arter hastaları için geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu belirlenmiş olup, ölçeğin koroner arter hastalarının yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesinde kullanılması önerilmektedir. Anahtar sözcükler: Geçerlik; güvenirlik; koroner arter hastalığı; yaşam kalitesi.

Abstract: The reliability of HeartQoL is comparable to its parent instrument, the MacNew. The HeartQoL is a potentially reliable core IHD-specific HRQoL instrument in measuring group change.
