abstract = {Background: The health-related quality of life in stroke patients (HRQOLISP-40, short version) survey was developed
in Nigeria and constitutes a 40-item, multidimensional, self-administrated questionnaire. We assessed the validity
and reliability of the HRQOLISP-40 Spanish version for stroke patients in Colombia.
Methods: The analysis included factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Rasch analysis, convergent validity,
internal consistency (261 stroke patients), test-retest reliability (73 patients assessed at two different times) and
sensitivity to change (46 patients assessed before and after a rehabilitation intervention).
Results: We found an 8-domain structure. None of the items had a significant impact on the global alpha value in
order to be removed. Lin’s concordance correlation coefficient indicated test-retest reliability (Rho IC: 0.76 to 0.95),
suggesting an adequate stability of the instrument. Regarding sensitivity to change differences, they were only
significant in the psychological and eco-social domains (p <0.05). When comparing SF-36 with HRQOLISP-40, all the
correlation coefficients values were significantly different from zero, except those related to vitality. The highest
scores were found in the physical and physical functioning domains, with a value of 0.722.
Conclusions: The HRQOLISP-40 scale is valid and reliable for assessing patients’ quality of life after a stroke.
Validating quality of life assessment instruments is necessary in order to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation
programs for Colombian stroke patients.},
