Overview

Cultural adaptation improves quality of life assessment in Romanian children with autism, suggesting strong psychometric properties.

Key Points

  • To adapt and validate a quality of life scale specifically for Romanian children with autism spectrum disorder.
  • Sample of 102 parents of children with ASD completed the QOLASD-C scale and the SDQ.
  • Used confirmatory factor analysis to determine the optimal model.
  • Performed Pearson correlations for validity assessment.
  • Conducted multivariate analysis of variance to explore QOLASD-C subscale differences based on ASD severity.
  • Factor analysis identified a correlated three-factor model as optimal for QOLASD-C.
  • The adapted scale demonstrated high internal consistency.
  • Good convergent and divergent validity was shown with the SDQ.
  • Children with mild ASD severity had higher quality of life scores than those with severe ASD.
