Few questionnaires address how to measure spatial hearing ability in complex listening situations. The purpose of the study was (a) to validate the Chinese translation of the Spatial Hearing Questionnaire (C-SHQ) among Chinese participants and (b) to provide a shortened version for the purpose of clinical screening.
This was a cross-sectional study. The C-SHQ was developed from the process of translation and back-translation of the original 24-item, English version (Tyler, Perreau, & Ji, 2009). The C-SHQ was administered to 146 patients at the Department of Otolaryngology Clinic of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital between October 2013 and May 2014 at Sichuan, China. Exploratory factor analysis and reliability tests were performed for the full version, and confirmatory factor analysis was applied for the shortened version of the C-SHQ.
The exploratory factor analysis revealed scores loaded on 3 similar factors compared with the original SHQ. The internal consistency reliability was high (Cronbach's α = 0.99). The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that a shortened version of 12 items is sufficient to measure spatial hearing abilities.
The C-SHQ and its short form are both reliable and valid questionnaires, which are suitable for both research and clinical settings to measure spatial hearing ability in the Chinese population.
很少有问卷涉及如何在复杂听力情境中测量空间听力能力。本研究的目的是：（a）在中国参与者中验证空间听力问卷的中文翻译版（C-SHQ）；（b）提供一个用于临床筛查的简化版。
这是一项横断面研究。C-SHQ是通过对原始的24项英文版本进行翻译和回译的过程而制定的（泰勒、佩罗和季，2009年）。2013年10月至2014年5月期间，在中国四川，将C-SHQ应用于四川省人民医院耳鼻喉科门诊的146名患者。对完整版进行探索性因素分析和信度测试，并对C-SHQ的简化版进行验证性因素分析。
探索性因素分析显示，与原始SHQ相比，分数加载在3个相似因素上。内部一致性信度较高（克朗巴哈α系数=0.99）。验证性因素分析表明，一个12项的简化版足以测量空间听力能力。
C-SHQ及其简版都是可靠且有效的问卷，适用于研究和临床环境中测量中国人群的空间听力能力。
