艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者（PLWHA）生活质量（QoL）的评估正在成为这一领域的研究和循证实践的关键。本文介绍了WHOQOL艾滋病毒现场测试仪器的分析，这是给1，334 PLWHA从七个不同文化的中心（澳大利亚，巴西，意大利，泰国，乌克兰和印度的两个中心：班加罗尔和新德里）。该仪器表现出良好的心理测量特性（0.70和0.90之间的域的值）和良好的判别效度，最差的生活质量发现那些谁报告说，他们是最不好的。男性报告的身体健康（F = 13.1，p < 0.001）和独立性（F = 16.1，p < 0.001）较差，而女性报告的环境（F = 25.8，p < 0.001），社会支持（F = 11.3，p < 0.001）和精神（F = 7.5，p < 0.01）较差。老年人（>34岁）在身体（F = 20.6，p < 0.001）和独立水平（F = 18.3，p < 0.001）方面表现出较差的生活质量，而年轻人则表现出较差的环境（F = 34.6，p < 0.001）和精神（F = 23.5，p < 0.001）幸福感领域。该工具提供了一个有前途的手段，生活质量评估艾滋病毒/艾滋病在不同的文化背景。
Assessment of quality of life (QoL) in persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) is becoming crucial to research and evidence-based practice in this area. This paper describes the analysis of the WHOQOL HIV field test instrument, which was given to 1,334 PLWHA from seven culturally diverse centres ( Australia, Brazil, Italy, Thailand, Ukraine and two centres in India: Bangalore and New Delhi). The instrument demonstrates good psychometric properties ( a values for domains between 0.70 and 0.90) and good discriminant validity, with poorest QoL found for those who reported that they were least well. Men reported poorer physical well-being ( F = 13.1, p < 0.001) and level of independence (F = 16.1, p < 0.001), while women reported poorer environment (F = 25.8, p < 0.001), social support (F = 11.3, p < 0.001) and spirituality (F = 7.5, p < 0.01). Older people (>34 years) demonstrated poorer QoL on physical (F = 20.6, p < 0.001) and levels of independence (F = 18.3, p < 0.001), while younger people showed poorer environmental (F = 34.6, p < 0.001) and spiritual (F = 23.5, p < 0.001) domains of well-being. The instrument provides a promising means for QoL assessment for HIV/AIDS in diverse cultural settings.
