The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Swallowing Outcomes After Laryngectomy (SOAL) in a large group of people who underwent a laryngectomy.
We conducted a cross-sectional psychometric study of laryngectomy patients (minimum 3 months posttreatment) attending routine hospital follow-up for the psychometric evaluation of SOAL.
One hundred ten people participated in this study. Thirteen percent of the patients had a laryngectomy, 63% had laryngectomy with radiotherapy, and 24% had laryngectomy with chemoradiation therapy. The SOAL showed good quality of data (minimal missing data and floor effects); good internal consistency (α = 0.91); and adequate test-retest reliability (intra-class correlation coefficient = 0.73). In terms of validity, it differentiated people by treatment group (F(2,85) = 8.02; p = .001) and diet texture group (t(102) = -7.33; p < .001).
The SOAL demonstrates good validity and has potential for use in research. Further study is required to determine its clinical application. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 38: E1639-E1645, 2016.
本研究旨在评估一大群接受喉切除术患者的喉切除术后吞咽结果（SOAL）量表的心理测量学特性。
我们对接受常规医院随访以进行SOAL心理测量评估的喉切除术患者（治疗后至少3个月）进行了横断面心理测量学研究。
110人参与了本研究。13%的患者接受了喉切除术，63%的患者接受了喉切除术后放疗，24%的患者接受了喉切除术后放化疗。SOAL显示出良好的数据质量（缺失数据和地板效应最小）；良好的内部一致性（α = 0.91）；以及足够的重测信度（组内相关系数 = 0.73）。在效度方面，它能区分不同治疗组的患者（F(2,85) = 8.02；p = .001）以及不同饮食质地组的患者（t(102) = -7.33；p < .001）。
SOAL显示出良好的效度，具有研究应用潜力。需要进一步研究以确定其临床应用。© 2015威利期刊公司。头颈外科38: E1639 - E1645，2016。
