          Abstract

          Objetivou-se avaliar a qualidade de vida (QV) de adultos com lesão medular e identificar os domínios que podem influir na qualidade de vida. Para coletar os dados utilizou-se o WHOQOL-bref e um questionário com variáveis sociodemográficas. Participaram 47 sujeitos com média de idade de 42,95 anos, 91,5% do sexo masculino e 8,5% do feminino. Os domínios obtiveram os escores: físico (58,59%), psicológico (63,82%), social (68,79%) e ambiental (55,20%). Por meio de regressão linear múltipla, verificou-se a correlação dos escores dos domínios com a percepção da QV: físico (p < 0,187), psicológico (p < 0,399), social (p < 0,000) e ambiental (p < 0,008). Concluiu-se que a maioria (55,3%) dos participantes está insatisfeita com a QV e que os domínios social e ambiental apresentaram maior correlação com a QV.

          The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) of adults with spinal cord injury and to identify the domains that may influence QOL. Data was collected using the WHOQOL-bref and a questionnaire with sociodemographic variables. Participants were 47 subjects, with a mean age of 42.95 years, 91.5% males and 8.5% females. The domains obtained the following scores: physical (58.59), psychological (63.82), social (68.79), and environmental (55.20). Through multiple linear regression, it was verified the correlation between domain scores and the perception of QOL: physical (p <0.187), psychological (p <0.399), social (p <0.000), and environmental (p <0.008). In conclusion, most participants (55.3%) are unsatisfied with their QOL, and the social and environmental domains showed a higher correlation with QOL.

          Aplicação da versão em português do instrumento abreviado de avaliação da qualidade de vida "WHOQOL-bref"

          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.

              Health and quality of life of persons with spinal cord lesion in Australia and Sweden.

              Cross-sectional questionnaire study. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the value of common general health-related quality of life (HRQL) instruments, readily available for cross-cultural comparisons, in persons with spinal cord lesion (SCL) treated at spinal units in Melbourne, Australia and in Gothenburg, Sweden. Another aim was to determine as to which of the independent variables were the most powerful predictors of global QL in the two SCL groups. Australia and Sweden. Two groups consisting of 89 Australian and 71 Swedish SCL persons were surveyed. The two groups were matched according to sex, age, time since injury and level of injury. The 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) and the Spinal Cord Injuries Quality of Life-23-item questionnaire were used to cover essential generic and specific domains of health and quality of life. Clinical and sociodemographic data were collected using questionnaires. For interpretation purpose, available general population data were used. The most important predictors of QL perception in the Australian group were the same as for the Swedish group; mood, physical and social functioning and problems regarding injury. In total, 61% (Australian group) and 52% (Swedish group) of the variance was explained by these variables. Despite similarities of health profiles, some areas of the SF-36 differed between the two groups. The demonstrated HRQL profiles in SCL persons have shown that valid measures can provide new information of clinical value beyond the self-evident physical and practical restrictions due to injury. Illustrative comparisons, such as those presented here between Australia and Sweden, may extend our knowledge about areas where the SCL persons themselves are the logical experts, for example, maintenance of personal roles, social interaction and emotional well-being.
