Psychometric performance of the WHOQOL-HIV BREF among people living with HIV on antiretroviral therapy in Bauchi State, Nigeria

This study revealed limited structural validity and varied internal consistency in this sample, with some domains of the WHOQOL-HIV BREF performing poorly. These findings reinforce concerns raised by researchers about the use of the tool without proper contextual adaptation. Further research is needed to better understand QOL in the Nigeria population, by refining and validating the QOL assessment tools for the country, to ensure adequate monitoring of the health of PLHIV.
