Validity and reliability of the Arabic version of the VHI (VHI-Arab) were investigated. Possible effects of participant-inherent factors (i.e. age, sex) on participant (77 females, 35 males) responses were also investigated. Results showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha r > 0.857 for all scores). Test-retest reliability was found to be strong (r > 0.87 for all scores). Validity results indicated significant moderate correlations between total VHI score and responses to severity (r = 0.521, P = 0.015) and satisfaction (r = 20.556, P = 0.009) questions. VHI-Arab was found to be unaffected by age (P > 0.10 for all scores) or sex (P > 0.05). This study produced a valid and reliable instrument for measuring participation restriction in Arabic-speaking individuals with voice disorders.
对阿拉伯语版嗓音障碍指数(VHI-Arab)的有效性和可靠性进行了调查。还研究了参与者固有因素(即年龄、性别)对参与者(77名女性,35名男性)反应的可能影响。结果显示内部一致性较高(所有分数的Cronbach's alpha r>0.857)。重测信度较强(所有分数的r>0.87)。效度结果表明,VHI总分与严重程度(r = 0.521,P = 0.015)和满意度(r = 0.556,P = 0.009)问题的回答之间存在显著的中度相关性。发现VHI-Arab不受年龄(所有分数的P>0.10)或性别(P>0.05)的影响。本研究产生了一种有效且可靠的工具,用于测量说阿拉伯语的嗓音障碍个体的参与限制。
