Vietnamese is one of the 20 most commonly spoken languages in the world; however, there are no standardised tools to assess Vietnamese children's speech. This study aimed to validate and norm the Vietnamese version of the Intelligibility in Context Scale (ICS-VN). Data were collected from parents of 181 children (aged 2;0-5;11) living in Ha Noi, Northern Viet Nam. The mean ICS-VN score was 4.43 (out of a maximum of 5), indicating that children were 'usually' to 'always' intelligible; however, item-level scores demonstrated significant differences between communication partners. Children with parental concerns about speech and language had significantly lower mean scores than children without parental concerns. Scores also differed by children's age, parents' occupation and mothers' education level but not by sex of child or fathers' education level. The ICS-VN had good psychometric properties indicating it to be a valid tool for use with Vietnamese-speaking children in Northern Viet Nam.
越南语是世界上最常用的20种语言之一；然而，目前尚无用于评估越南儿童言语能力的标准化工具。本研究旨在对越南语版情境可懂度量表（ICS-VN）进行验证并制定常模。研究数据收集自居住在越南北部河内市的181名儿童（年龄在2岁0个月至5岁11个月之间）的家长。ICS-VN量表的平均得分为4.43分（满分5分），表明儿童的言语“通常”到“总是”可懂；然而，各项目得分显示出沟通对象之间存在显著差异。家长对孩子言语和语言能力表示担忧的儿童，其平均得分显著低于家长无担忧的儿童。得分还因儿童年龄、家长职业和母亲教育水平的不同而有所差异，但不受儿童性别或父亲教育水平的影响。ICS-VN具有良好的心理测量学特性，表明它是用于评估越南北部说越南语儿童的有效工具。
