  12. Agreement among expert judges • High agreement concerning to the belonging of the items to one or anothercategory : = .95. • Acceptable agreement regarding intensity: = .33. • High agreement in relation to thevalency: = .84. Items of the original Questionnaire are maintained at their corresponding factors

  13. RELIABILITY

  14. VALIDITY • Content validity: • bibliographicalrevision:quality of life includes aspects related to welfare, satisfaction and social integration. • consultation to judges: = .97. • Construct validity: • factor analysis:correct match between items and scales.

  16. RESULTS (I) **sinificant, with p<0,01;*significant, with p<0,05

  17. RESULTS (I) ** Significant, with p<0,01; * Significant, with p<0,05

  18. RESULTS (II) **significant, with p<0,01;* significant, with p<0,05

  19. RESULTS (II) **Significant, with p<0,01; * Significant, with p<0,05
