This study aims to develop an instrument for
the assessment of psychological predictors of well-being
and quality of life (QoL) in people living with HIV. A four-
step procedure was followed to achieve this objective. A
literature review, focus group in different regions of Spain
and content analysis generated a preliminary pool of 96
items. Interjudgement ratings over the items and a cogni-
tive debriefing interview were performed to delete or
review items (one omitted and 15 reviewed). The psy-
chometric properties of the instrument were assessed in a
sample of 84 HIV
?
. Pilot testing allowed a new wave of depuration process by empirical criteria (30 items omitted).
A final pool of 63 items covering 23 facets (
a
from 0.53 to
0.95) of psychological predictors remained. Exploratory
factorial analysis (GLS) assessing the underlying structure
of the questionnaire showed a six-factor model explaining
56.5 of variance. Empirical exploratory structure revealed
evidence of goodness of fit (

screen key psychological variables expected to be related
to adjustment, well-being and QoL in people with HIV. [-]
