- The study aimed to assess the Spanish version of the King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) for its effectiveness in measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in spinal cord injury patients.
- A total of 120 participants were evaluated, focusing on the KHQ's feasibility, cross-cultural validity, and internal consistency, with strong results (Cronbach alpha 0.91).
- Key findings indicated that older patients, women, paraplegics, and those with incomplete lesions experienced lower HRQoL, while those using external condom catheters reported better outcomes in daily life activities.
