Table 3_Measuring the quality of life of students with autism in Chilean general education

Victoria Sánchez-Gómez authored a study evaluating the Quality of Life Index-Primary Education (QoLI-PE) tool for students with autism in Chilean general schools. The research assessed 242 students across four regions of Chile, analyzing the instrument's validity, reliability, and internal structure. Results indicated excellent internal consistency and identified areas of concern such as self-determination and interpersonal relationships.

Use Cases

• Validate psychometric properties of assessment tools based on confirmatory factor analysis results.
• Compare quality-of-life domains like material well-being and social inclusion among students with autism.
• Develop intervention strategies for inclusive education based on identified areas of greatest concern.
• Support policy evaluation for inclusion laws using instrument-derived data.
• Cross-cultural adaptation of assessment tools by comparing Chilean and Spanish applications.

Strengths

• The dataset includes assessments from 242 students with autism.
• The study reports excellent internal consistency for all eight domains of the instrument.
• Confirmatory factor analyses supported the internal structure of the QoLI-PE.
• Data covers students from four regions of Chile, providing geographic diversity.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is a PDF file of 190.8 KB, which suggests limited scope and may require extraction for analysis.
