The Voice Handicap Index has been shown to be a valid instrument for assessing self-perceived handicap associated with dysphonia.
To test the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the VHI-30 (Voice Handicap Index) and its shortened version VHI-10.
The original VHI-30 was translated into Spanish and was completed by 232 dysphonic patients and 38 non-dysphonic individuals. Prospective instrument validation was performed.
Results showed high test-retest reliability, and high item-total correlation for both Spanish VHI-30 and VHI-10. Internal consistency demonstrated a Cronbach's alpha of 0.93 and 0.86, respectively, and a significant correlation was found between the VHI scores and the patients' self-rated dysphonic severity.
The present study supports the use of Spanish versions of VHI-30 and VHI-10 because of their validity and reliability.
嗓音障碍指数已被证明是评估与嗓音障碍相关的自我感知障碍的有效工具。
测试西班牙语版VHI-30（嗓音障碍指数）及其简化版VHI-10的心理测量特性。
将原始的VHI-30翻译成西班牙语，由232名嗓音障碍患者和38名非嗓音障碍个体完成。进行了前瞻性工具验证。
结果显示，西班牙语版VHI-30和VHI-10的重测信度高，项目与总分相关性高。内部一致性分别显示Cronbach's α为0.93和0.86，并且在VHI评分与患者自评的嗓音障碍严重程度之间发现了显著相关性。
本研究支持使用西班牙语版的VHI-30和VHI-10，因为它们具有有效性和可靠性。
