ABSTRACT
La formación de las personas con enfermedad mental favorece la inclusión social y laboral. La evaluación de estos programas es fundamental para determinar su alcance. El objetivo es identificar los métodos e instrumentos de evaluación empleados en los programas de formación de pares para personas con enfermedad mental. Se realiza una revisión documental. Según los criterios de inclusión y elegibilidad, se seleccionaron 56 programas para su análisis. Los métodos de evaluación utilizados son muy heterogéneos y la información proporcionada es limitada. Encontramos que la mayoría de los programas evalúa conocimientos, pero no las competencias adquiridas con la formación. Para una adecuada evaluación de competencias, es necesario que se recoja información en diferentes momentos y con estrategias que se complementen; de no actuar de esta forma sería complicado afirmar que la persona cuenta con las competencias necesarias para su desempeño.(AU)
Training people with mental illnesses promotes social and labour market inclusion. The evaluation of these programs is essential to determine their scope. The aim is to identify the methods and instruments used in the evaluation of peer education programs for people with mental illness. A documentary review has been carried out. According to the inclusion and eligibility criteria, 56 programs were selected for the analysis. We found that the evaluation methods used are very heterogeneous and the provided information is limited; most of the programs evaluate knowledge, but not the acquired competences through training. It is necessary to collect information at different times and with complementary strategies for an adequate evaluation of the competences. If this is not done, it would be difficult to affirm that the person has developed the necessary competences for their tasks.(AU)

ABSTRACT
The search for quality of life and the trend towards continual improvement has today become a true reference which guides most social organizations. The bodies which offer support to persons with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (referred to hereon as ASD) have not gone untouched by the influence of this concept of quality. The serious difficulties which are associated with this disorder affect the main areas of one ??s personal development: socialisation, communication, comprehension, and adaptation to ones environment, and they require that organizations promote integral networks of resources which guarantee a lifetime of quality services and support. The difficulties of assessing quality of life in persons with ASD from the subjective perspective, make it especially necessary to find valid indicators that help us to favour certain conditions in the ASD person ??s environment. This identified need is justification for the objective put forward: to design an instrument capable of being used to assess the quality of life of persons with ASD, made up of a Guide of Indicators, which organizations and programmes can then use to promote favourable conditions.
