Purpose: The aim of the present study was to confirm the original factor structure of
the Multicultural Quality of Life Index (MQLI) and analyze its psychometric properties in a
sample of caregivers of people with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
Methods: The MQLI was administered to 233 relatives of people with BPD. Participants
completed the MQLI, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and the
Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC).
Results: Factor analysis of the relatives indicated that the MQLI generated a one-factor
solution. The MQLI showed good internal consistency, ̟ = 0.91 [95% CI (0.90, 0.93)]
and correlated significantly and positively with the CD-RISC (rs = 0.576) and negatively
with the DASS-21 (rs = −0.583).
Conclusion: Consistent with other studies, the MQLI demonstrated feasibility, strong
internal consistency, and good convergent and discriminant validity, which means it is
a psychometrically robust measure for the assessment of quality of life in relatives of
people with BPD. Along with other validation studies, this measure will be a useful tool
for assessing quality of life in relatives of people with mental disorders. [-]
