RESUMO

In order to evaluate quality of life (QOL) of patients with Alzheimer s disease and of their respective caregivers/family members, we performed the transcultural adaptation of the evaluation scale of QOL proposed by Logsdon et al (1999), originally in English, to Portuguese. The methodology used in the transcultural adaptation included translation, back translation and equivalence evaluation of the original scale. In the analysis of the properties of measure from the translated and adapted scale, reliability and internal consistency evaluations were also undertaken. The scale proved to be easy and brief to administer, presenting an excellent stability and reliability after its adaptation
