“…This study identified that the Chilean Spanish version of the QLQ-MY20 questionnaire for the assessment of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) demonstrated good results in terms of internal consistency and construct validity. Overall, the psychometric properties of the QLQ-MY20 were strong, similar to the data reported in other validation studies of the questionnaire (9,12,(15)(16) . Internal consistency showed adequate values for the complete questionnaire and moderate consistency for each dimension.…”

“…Considering the relevant and specific problems related to MM, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Group (EORTC) (13) created and validated the specific module Quality of Life Questionnaire for Myeloma (QLQ-MY20) (14) . The QLQ-MY20 questionnaire has been validated in many countries (9,12,(15)(16) and is relevant in the clinical management of MM patients, as it has the potential to improve treatment outcomes (17) . The questionnaire is available in a Spanish version translated for Chile, but its psychometric properties have yet to be evaluated.…”

Objectives: To evaluate the internal consistency and construct validity of the QLQ-MY20 for assessing the quality of life in multiple myeloma survivors in Chile. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted between March 2020 and December 2022. It involved 118 individuals from two public hospitals. The QLQ-C30 and QLQ-MY20 questionnaires were used. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha(α), and construct validity was evaluated through hypothesis testing (Mann-Whitney and Spearman correlation). Results: The average age of participants was 67.2 years (SD=9.2). Internal consistency for the complete scale was α=0.779, for the “disease symptoms” dimension α=0.671, for the “side effects of treatments” dimension α=0.538, and for the “future perspective” dimension α=0.670. Four of the five construct validity hypotheses were confirmed: women, individuals with worse performance status, those with pain, and those with worse fatigue showed more symptoms. Conclusions: The Chilean version of the QLQ-MY20 demonstrates adequate internal consistency and construct validity.

“…The field data indicated that (construction waste generation factors), (improving factors) achieved acceptable values of 0.882 and 0.815, respectively; the variables under the (sustainable construction waste generation) have a value of 0.889. The Cronbach's alpha values indicate an excellent internal consistency for the scale with the sample values above 0.7 considered acceptable [101]. In this study, hypotheses would contribute immensely to the established knowledge of the study's subject matter for kinds of material and what amount are waste, and how much is produced and classified as waste are explained in the following section.…”

Modeling of 3R (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) for Sustainable Construction Waste Reduction: A Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM)

et al. 2021

There is a lack of awareness and knowledge among the Malaysian construction industry about waste management reduction. Numerous nations worldwide have understood and have incorporated the concept of the 3R (reduce, reuse, and recycle) in waste management, and it has worked out well. This study investigated construction waste issues and developed a model for sustainable reduction by applying 3R using a partial least squares structural equation modeling PLS-SEM in Malaysia. The research methodology adopted the quantitative and qualitative approaches by sending a survey questionnaire to the relevant stakeholders to obtain their views or perceptions and interviewing an expert in the related field about waste reduction in the Malaysian construction industry. Three hundred thirty questionnaires were collected within six months of submission. The significant factors are determined using mean ranking for the reduce, reuse and recycle elements. Based on the results, the exploratory power of the study model is considered sustainable with R2 values of 0.83%. At the same time, the results of relationships between improving factors, policy-related factors, construction waste generated, and sustainable construction waste reduction were significant. Also, the findings revealed that the top factors for waste generation on reducing, reusing, and recycling are lack of design and documentation, and lack of guidance for effective construction waste-collecting. The paper will explore different and dynamic practices, such as recycling, reuse of construction waste management cost reduction, enabling stakeholders and managers to estimate and quantify the actual size of CWM costs and benefits for sustainable development goals.

“…The use of the instruments was authorized by the quality-of-life group of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC), responsible for the elaboration and availability of the instruments, and was exempt from copyright due to the use for the purpose of research. EORTC has translated QLQ-MY20 into Brazilian Portuguese (Etto et al, 2011;Paiva et al, 2014), and our group validated this module in a previous study for Brazilian patients (Malta et al, 2021). It had good validity and reliability characteristics by analysis of content validity, internal consistency, convergent and divergent validity, and temporal reproducibility (Malta et al, 2021).…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there was an improvement or a deterioration of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of multiple myeloma patients (MM), and to assess the associated factors with HRQoL after 12 months of treatment. Methods: We performed a prospective cohort study with MM patients in first-line treatment from public and private onco-hematology health services in a Brazilian metropolis. HRQoL, socio-demographic and clinical variables were obtained by interviews and review of medical charts. HRQoL and peripheral neuropathy (PN) were collected through validated instruments (QLQ-C30, QLQ-MY20, CINQ). Medians of the HRQoL scores, obtained at baseline and follow-up interviews, were compared. Median HRQOL scores at follow-up were compared by variables. The improvement or deterioration in HRQoL and the association with variables were measured. Results: Thirty-three patients completed the follow-up, with ISS III (25.0 %), on polypharmacy (72.2 %), using a thalidomide+bortezomib-based regimen as first-line (19.4 %), and median age of 66.5 years. HRQoL Summary score, Functioning, Symptom scales, and Future Perspective scores were improved between periods (p<0.05). Patients who were on polypharmacy, with severe PN, and with ISS III had deterioration in HRQoL; younger patients had improvement and older patients had deterioration in HRQoL (p<0.05). Conclusions: Our study showed that first-line treatment improved HRQoL of patients in the following QLQ-C30 scales: Summary score, Role functioning, Emotional functioning, Fatigue, Pain, and Constipation; and in QLQ-MY20, Future perspective was improved. Our study shows the importance of using patient-reported outcomes during MM treatment.
