Note. Partner Rel. = Partner Relationship Quality of Life. Factor 1 combines the a priori scales of Family QoL and Caregiver QoL and includes salient loadings from child QoL and External Support. Internal consistency reliability coefficients for the a priori scales dominating factor 1 reflect separate analyses of the Family QoL and Caregiver QoL scales.
