Abstract

This study examined the psychometric characteristics of a sample of disabled Arab individuals using the WHO quality of life scale. 492 people from Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan made up the study sample, which included both men and women. The validity and reliability coefficients, which the researcher collected and which are statistical functions, are as follows and show that using the scale in the Arab setting is valid. Each paragraph's internal consistency validity for the scale as a whole ranged from (0.193-0.802), which are significant levels at (0.01). Significant scores for the Bartlett test for curvature and Chi-Square Test are 10869.505 and 0.877, respectively, both of which indicate that the validity of the factorial structure is valid. According to Cronbach's alpha, the scale has a dependability rating of 0.950. The split-half approach yields a value of 0.791. 0.883 using the Spearman-Brown technique. Using the Gettman approach, scale is 0.866.
