Resumo
OBJECTIVE: To construct versions of the WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-DIS
instruments in Brazilian sign language to evaluate the Brazilian deaf population’s
quality of life.
METHODS: The methodology proposed by the World Health Organization
(WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-DIS) was used to construct instruments
adapted to the deaf community using Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). The
research for constructing the instrument took placein 13 phases: 1) creating
the QUALITY OF LIFE sign; 2) developing the answer scales in Libras; 3)
translation by a bilingual group; 4) synthesized version; 5) fi rst back translation;
6) production of the version in Libras to be provided to the focal groups; 7)
carrying out the Focal Groups; 8) review by a monolingual group; 9) revision
by the bilingual group; 10) semantic/syntactic analysis and second back
translation; 11) re-evaluation of the back translation by the bilingual group; 12)
recording the version into the software; 13) developing the WHOQOL-BREF
and WHOQOL-DIS software in Libras.
RESULTS: Characteristics peculiar to the culture of the deaf population indicated
the necessity of adapting the application methodology of focal groups composed
of deaf people. The writing conventions of sign languages have not yet been
consolidated, leading to diffi culties in graphically registering the translation
phases. Linguistics structures that caused major problems in translation were
those that included idiomatic Portuguese expressions, for many of which there
are no equivalent concepts between Portuguese and Libras. In the end, it was
possible to create WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-DIS software in Libras.
CONCLUSIONS: The WHOQOL-BREF and the WHOQOL-DIS in Libras will
allow the deaf to express themselves about their quality of life in an autonomous
way, making it possible to investigate these issues more accurately.
