The Validity and Reliability of The Turkish Version of The Quality of Life Scale For Patients With Alzheimer's Disease (QOL-AD)

Öz:

Amaç: Yaşam kalitesi, Alzheimer hastası bireylere yapılan girişimlerin etkisinideğerlendirmek için kriter alınan çok boyutlu bir kavramdır. Bu araştırmanın amacıAlzheimer Hastalığında Yaşam Kalitesi Envanteri'nin (AH-YKÖ) Türk toplumu için geçerlikve güvenirliğini test etmektir.Yöntem: Bu araştırma metodolojik bir çalışmadır. Örnekleme Alzheimer hastalığı tanısı olan72 birey ve onların bakım verenleri dahil edilmiştir. Araştırma verileri bir üniversitehastanesinin demans polikliniğinde ve Alzheimer derneği İzmir şubesinde toplanmıştır. AH- YKÖ, hastanın o anki sahip olduğu yaşam kalitesi hakkında bilgi vermektedir. Envanter, 13maddeden oluşmakta, her bir madde 4 puanlık skala üzerinden (1 puan kötü ve 4 puanmükemmel) değerlendirilmektedir. Toplam puan aralığı 13-52'dir.Bulgular: Envanterin dil geçerliliğinde çeviri - geri çeviri yapılmıştır, içerik geçerliliğinde isealınan uzman görüşlerinin uyumlu olduğu saptanmıştır (KW = .223, p = .095). AH-YKÖformunun hastalar için olan iç tutarlılık güvenilirlik katsayısı (cronbach alpha) 0.84 grup içikorelasyon katsayısı (intraclass Correlation Coefficients-ICC) 0,79 bulunmuştur. AH-YKÖformunun bakım verenler için olan iç tutarlılık güvenilirlik katsayısı (cronbach alpha) 0.77grup içi korelasyon katsayısı (intraclass Correlation Coefficients-ICC) 0.72 bulunmuştur.Sonuç: AH-YKÖ formunun Alzheimer hastalarının yaşam kalitesinin değerlendirilmesindegeçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olarak kullanılabileceği bulunmuştur.

Objective: QOL is a multidimensional concept set as indicator to assess the effect ofinterventions applied to the Alzheimer patients. The objective of this study is to assess thevalidity and reliability of the Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease (QOL-AD) scale for theTurkish society.Methods: This research is a methodological study. The sample was composed of 72individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. Research data werecollected in the dementia outpatient clinic of a university hospital and İzmir branch of theAlzheimer's Association. QOL-AD gives information about the QOL of the patient. The scaleis composed of 13 items, each of which is assessed over a 4-point scale (1 point is bad, 4point is excellent). The minimum score obtained from the scale is 13, maximum score is 52.Results: Translation and back translation were performed to evaluate the language validity ofthe scale. Besides, it was determined that the expert opinions regarding the content validitywere compatible (Kendall's W=.223, p=.095). Internal consistency reliability coefficient(cronbach alpha) of QOL-AD scale for the patients was found as 0.84 while intraclasscorrelation coefficient was found as 0.79. However, internal consistency reliability coefficient(cronbach alpha) of caregivers' reports on patients' quality of life (C-PQOL) was 0.77 whileintraclass correlation coefficient was 0.72.Conclusion: The results indicate reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the QOL- AD in the Turkish society.
