An Integrative Review of the LupusQoL© Measure.
Journal of Nursing Measurement 2020 May 20
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus negatively affects health related quality of life (HRQOL). The purpose of this review is to synthesize and evaluate findings related to the psychometric properties of the LupusQoL© and its variations.
METHODS: A search of CINAHL, PubMed, and Medline for the timeframe of 2007-2019 for English-language articles using any form of the LupusQoL© was completed. Thirtyfive studies were reviewed to determine psychometric soundness.
RESULTS: Cronbach alpha results supported the internal consistency with test-retest data supporting stability. Factor structure and Scree plots varied. Content, construct, criterion, convergent, and discriminate validity were supported. Ceiling and floor effects occurred.
CONCLUSIONS: The Lupus QoL© and its variations offer a disease-specific measure with supported reliability and validity for use in culturally disparate populations. Factor structure and ceiling/floor effects need further edification.
