55) in the social factor.

It indicates that the quality of life is generally average.

There is no difference between men and women in the quality of life.

The MacNew scale has good psychometric properties, reliability (Cronbach's alpha 0.

70) and validity as it reflects internal consistency (strong correlations between the subscales and the total score, and between items and their subscales) most of the correlation coefficients are statistically significant at the level of (p< 0.

05 and 0.

01) except in some items.
