OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (QLESQ) for Turkish women . METHODS: The data were collected through sociodemografic questionnaire, QLESQ and EuroQol. The scale, which was translated into English from Turkish, again translated back into English by two independent translators, was applied to 168 female subjects. The females above 25 consisted of 85 housewives and 83 working women. The scale was applied to 74 females in the pretest phase. The EuroQol-5D was used for concurrent validity. The EuroQol-5D was used for concurrent validity. Cronbach’s Alfa was used to assess reliability, and factor analysis to assess dimensionality. RESULTS: The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) of QLESQ was 0.93. Factor analysis of the scale revealed that it was composed of three factors with Eigenvalues >2, accounting for 62.0% of the total variance. All items of the Turkish QLESQ had a factor load ranging from 0.22 to 0.76 There was a strong relationship between QLESQ, and EuroQoL 5D. CONCLUSIONS: The QLESQ has good validity and reliability for Turkish women.
