Abstract

Abstract While there are empirical antecedents in the measurement of Health-Related Quality of Life (hrqol) in children, there is no evidence of similar studies in Colombia. For this reason, the objective of this investigation is to describe the initial psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the tapqol 2 in a sample of 229 caregivers for preschool children of both sexes between three and six years of age who reside in the department of Córdoba, Colombia. A factorial analysis was carried out with extraction of the main components and Varimax rotation, as well as internal consistency analysis by means of the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the general scale and for every obtained factor, interelement correlations and total-element statistics. Introducción De acuerdo con The World Health Organization Quality of life assessment (1995), la calidad de vida consiste en la percepción que posee el individuo sobre su posición en la vida dentro del contexto cultural y el sistema de valores en el que vive y con respecto a sus metas, expectativas, normas y preocupaciones.
