Description

The Wisconsin Family Quality of Life Index Provider Questionnaire (WFQLI-PQ) is a tool used to assess the quality of life of families from the perspective of service providers. This scale was developed to provide insights into how service providers evaluate the needs, well-being, and overall quality of life of the families they support. It focuses on areas such as health, social inclusion, financial stability, educational support, and access to services.

Analysis and Use of Data

Information Collection: The WFQLI-PQ gathers information through a questionnaire completed by service providers who evaluate various aspects of family life. Data analysis is performed using statistical tools to identify areas needing improvement.

Applications: The data from the WFQLI-PQ is used to assess and improve the quality of services provided to families and to develop support strategies that address family needs in areas like health, education, and social inclusion.

Purpose

The goal of the WFQLI-PQ is to provide service providers with a tool to assess and understand the quality of life of the families they serve. This allows for the improvement of services and the development of programs that respond to family needs in areas such as health, education, and social inclusion.

Scoring

The scoring of the WFQLI-PQ is based on a Likert scale, where providers rate various aspects of family life from “very poor” to “very good.” The overall score is used to determine the family’s quality of life in relation to the services provided.
