Background:
Family Quality of Life (FQOL) in Early Intervention (EI) has become a key factor for the evaluation of its results, since, in early ages, the family plays a fundamental role. The main objective of this review was to examine the scientific evidence on FQOL of families with children who attend EI services.
Methods:
This systematic review was conducted in the Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science and CINAHL databases. Two meta-analyses were carried out using Cronbach's α of the measurement instruments and the means and standard deviations of FQOL.
Results:
The search produced 7,249 records, of which 10 were included. The statistical result of Cronbach's α was high, and that of FQOL was medium-high.
Conclusions:
Families participating in EI programs tend to report medium-to-high levels of FQOL. The factors that contribute to improving FQOL include: the supports provided by the professional, identification of strengths, satisfaction with the service, and transdisciplinary interventions focused on the family.
