Abstract

INTRODUÇÃO: A necessidade de instrumentos de rápida aplicação determinou que o Grupo de Qualidade de Vida da Organização Mundial de Saúde desenvolvesse a versão abreviada do WHOQOL-100, o WHOQOL-bref. Este instrumento consta de 26 questões divididas em quatro domínios: físico, psicológico, relações sociais e meio ambiente. O objetivo deste estudo é a apresentação do teste de campo brasileiro do WHOQOL-bref. MÉTODOS: O WHOQOL-bref, o BDI e o BHS foram aplicados numa amostra de 300 indivíduos na cidade de Porto Alegre. RESULTADOS/CONCLUSÕES: O Instrumento mostrou características satisfatórias de consistência interna, validade discriminante, validade de critério, validade concorrente e fidedignidade teste-reteste. O WHOQOL-bref alia um bom desempenho psicométrico com praticidade de uso o que lhe coloca como uma alternativa útil para ser usado em estudos que se propõe a avaliar qualidade de vida no Brasil.

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.
