Abstract

Accessible summary • The measurement characteristics of the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q) for quality of life (QOL) assessments in the clinical settings were evaluated. • The Q-LES-Q – SF showed sound internal consistency, test–retest reliability, and convergent and criterion validity, with 80% sensitivity and 100% specificity. • The Q-LES-Q – SF could produce reliable, valid and sensitive assessments of QOL in routine psychiatric practice. The Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q) and its short form (Q-LES-Q – SF) are among the most frequently used outcome measures in psychiatry research. The aim of this study was to analyse the measurement properties of the Q-LES-Q – SF for quality of life assessments in the clinical settings. Fifty-seven adults with a psychiatric diagnosis participated. Psychometric evaluation included descriptive analysis, internal consistency, test–retest reliability, validity, sensitivity and responsiveness analysis. The amount of missing data was 5.3%, while no floor or ceiling effects were observed. The internal consistency and test–retest coefficients were 0.9 and 0.93, respectfully. Almost all items significantly correlated to the total score and other measures used in the study, with the correlations ranging 0.41–0.81. Finally, the responsiveness parameters indicated the Q-LES-Q – SF is 80% sensitive and 100% specific measure. This preliminary analysis of the Q-LES-Q – SF demonstrated that it could produce reliable and valid clinical assessments of quality of life.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
