    • Subject Terms:

    • Abstract:
      The aim of this research is to validate the Family Quality of Life Scale (FQLS) in a Chilean population and to analyze the factor structure (scope) of this research tool through the critical area map. Crosssectional, correlational, and causal study was carry on 316 families. The Spanish version of the FQSL was used. An exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. Results showed Cronbach's alpha for the FQLS subscales on Importance rate was 0.884 and on Satisfaction 0.891. The exploratory factor analysis found five dimensions for both categories, and the confirmatory factor analysis showed factor loadings greater than 0.5 for each dimension. Regarding discriminant validity, the cross-loadings varied between 0.64 to 0.97 on Importance and 0.62 to 0.98 on Satisfaction. In relation to convergent validity, each dimension reached a variance above 0.5. Conclusions of the study proved a reliable and valid tool to measure features of family quality of life in a Chilean population. The instrument has high levels of internal consistency and suitable discriminant and convergent validity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      El propósito de este estudio es presentar la validación de la Escala de Calidad de Vida Familiar en población chilena y analizar las dimensiones de este instrumento a través del mapa de área crítica. Se utilizó un estudio transversal, correlacional y causal en 316 familias. Se aplicó la versión española de la Escala de Calidad de Vida Familiar. Se condujo un análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio. Los resultados indicaron que el alpha de Cronbach para la categoría de Importancia fue de 0.884 y para Satisfacción fue de 0.891. El análisis factorial exploratorio encontró cinco dimensiones para ambas categorías, y el análisis factorial confirmatorio mostró cargas mayores a 0.5 para cada dimensión. Respecto a la validez discriminante, las cargas cruzadas se movieron entre 0.64 a 0.97 para Importancia y 0.62 a 0.98 para Satisfacción. En cuanto a la validez convergente, cada dimensión alcanzó una varianza extraída sobre 0.5. Las conclusiones del estudio indican que el instrumento resultó ser confiable y válido para medir aspectos de la calidad de vida familiar en población chilena. Posee altos niveles de consistencia interna y una adecuada validez discriminante y convergente. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
