ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the quality of life measurement tool for autistic children which has been adapted by Baghdadli from the measuring instrument developed by Berdaux. Thus, it is hoped that this research can be a reference for further researchers in measuring the quality of life of parents with autistic children. This psychometric research uses the Par-DD-Qol measuring instrument which has been translated into Indonesian. The research sample amounted to 446 parents with the criteria of having children aged 2–18 years who were taken using a non-probability purposive sampling technique. The research analysis method used is the Confirmatory Factor Analysis method using Lisrel version 8.8. Based on the first stage of the CFA test, it was found that there were 2 invalid items and continued with model modification which showed the results that the emotional aspects and daily disturbances were valid (0.32–0.79) and quite reliable (0.84) with 16 items and dropped 2 items on aspects of quality of life in general.
