Abstract
The SF-36 is the most common instrument to check the quality of life for dialysis patients with chronic renal failure. However, there were too much burden for them to answer 36 items of it. So we purposed to develop the RFQoL-K reduced type of the SF-36. Participants who had newly registered for dialysis were enrolled in 29 medical centers during 45months from 2009. We developed the RFQoL-K through 355 people who applied the SF-36 at 3 and 12 months after registration and then checked it's internal validity. External validity about it was checked via 411 people who answered only one time survey after registration. In conclusion, the RFQoL-K had total 14 items which was consisted of 8 items on physical factors and 6 items on mental factors from the SF-36. The RFQoL-K summary scores explained 91-93% of the SF-36 summary scores. The RFQoL-K was well reflected SF-36 because the correlation and the internal consistency between two tools were very high 0.96 to 0.98 and 0.96 to 0.98 respectively.
