Özet
The assessment of quality of life is important and necessary in comprehensive rehabilitation of disabled individuals. However, the instruments are so few for the assessment of quality of life in spinal cord injured persons. The aim of this study was to accomplish the Turkish adaptation of Quality of Life Index-Spinal Cord Injury version which can be used in spinal cord injured patients, and to assess the reliability of this adaptation. The translation procedure were performed according to the international guidelines and the translated index was applied to 75 spinal cord injured two times with an interval of one week. The internal consistency of the index was found to be α=0,91 and α=0,93 for the first and second applications respectively. The item-total correlations were between 0,0887-0,7498 in the first application, whereas they were between 0,0683-0,7353 in the second application. The correlation analysis of the item scores of both applications showed that there were statisticaly significant correlations (p>0,05) in all item scores except 15th and 25th items. In conclusion, the Turkish adaptation of Quality of Life Index-Spinal Cord Injury version was found as reliable in this study.
