Psychometric evaluation of the German version of the Recovering Quality of Life (ReQoL) measures in patients with affective disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The generic self-reported Recovering Quality of Life (ReQoL) measures were developed for measuring recovery-focused health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in persons with mental health conditions. The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the German version of the ReQoL measures in patients with affective disorders in Germany.

Methods

Data from a patient sub-sample in a randomized controlled trial have been used (N = 393). The internal consistency and the test-retest reliability of the ReQoL measures were assessed using Cronbach's Alpha and the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). The concurrent validity and the known-group validity of the ReQoL measures were assessed using Pearson's Correlation coefficient and Cohen's d. The respons
