This study evaluates a Swedish version of the Voice Handicap Index adapted for singers. A total of 96 healthy singers and 30 singer-patients completed the questionnaire. Validity and reliability, internal coherence, and group differences were assessed. The singer-patient group had significantly higher scores than the control group. Reliability was confirmed by high Cronbach's (>0.78) for test-retest scores, and for each of the sub-scales. Test-retest stability in both groups was confirmed by high correlation values alpha (>0.8). Overall scores compared closely to those from previous reports. The Swedish translation of the adapted VHI for singers (RHI-s) is valid and reliable and shows sensitivity to the singer's concerns. It can be considered a useful tool in the clinical assessment of Swedish healthy or pathological singers.
本研究评估了一种适用于歌手的瑞典语版嗓音障碍指数。共有96名健康歌手和30名歌手患者完成了问卷调查。评估了效度和信度、内部一致性以及组间差异。歌手患者组的得分显著高于对照组。重测得分及各子量表的Cronbach's系数均较高(>0.78),证实了信度。两组的重测稳定性通过较高的α相关值(>0.8)得到证实。总体得分与先前报告的得分密切相关。适用于歌手的瑞典语版嗓音障碍指数(RHI-s)有效且可靠,对歌手所关注的问题具有敏感性。它可被视为瑞典健康或患病歌手临床评估中的一种有用工具。
