 The goal of social approaches for persons with aphasia (PWA) is to improve their quality of life (QOL). However, there have been few QOL studies for PWA in Japan. Most PWA cannot respond to the usual QOL questionnaires because of their comprehension difficulties. In this study, we developed a new QOL rating scale (Life stage Aphasia QOL scale: LAQOL) that is comprehensible to most PWA and investigated its reliability and validity. The subjects were 53 PWA (38 males and 15 females) who attend a day-care center, and all but 1 (52 subjects, 98.1%) were able to respond to LAQOL. Based on the correlation analysis of surveyed items, 11 items were selected. Cronbach's alpha was 0.86, which indicates that the scale has high internal consistency. The correlation coefficient of LAQOL and the Stroke and Aphasia QOL Scale-39-J was 0.75. The time required for answering LAQOL-11 was about 10 minutes. LAQOL-11 could be performed in a short time and used with most PWA, including those with severe aphasia. The clinical usefulness of the new scale is thought to be high.
