Abstract

Introduction. The quality of life in stroke patients and how to measure it are very important. This study aims to present scales that are used for evaluating quality of life in stroke adult-patients, considering the validity and application of its instruments in Brazil. Method. The quality of life scales described are The World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment Instrument (WHOQOL-100 and Bref), Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), Medical Outcomes Study 36 – Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and, Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Measure (SS-QOL). References were identified by electronic searches of MEDLINE, PUBMED, LILACS, and Scielo. We included papers published both 1990-2007. Conclusion. The found papers showed that the studied scales were the most useful for application in Brazil, with good internal consistency, validity, and reliability test-retest. Therefore the scales were known in world, there still is a necessity for more studies about its application in Brazilian stroke patients, psychometrics features, administration form, and internal validity
