To describe how the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) was translated into Polish (THI-POL) and to present psychometric data on how well it performed in a clinical population of tinnitus sufferers.
The original version of THI was adapted into Polish. The reliability of THI-POL was investigated using test-retest, Cronbach's alpha, endorsement rate and item-total correlation. Construct validity and convergent validity were also assessed based on confirmatory factor analysis, inter-item correlation and Pearson product-moment correlations using subscale A (Tinnitus) of the Tinnitus and Hearing Survey (THS-POL); divergent validity was checked using subscale B (Hearing) of THS-POL.
A group of 167 adults filled in THI-POL twice over their three-day hospitalisation period.
Test-retest reliability for the total THI-POL scores was strong (r = 0.91). Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total score was high (r = 0.95), confirming the questionnaire's stability. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and inter-item correlation did not confirm the three-factor model. Convergent validity from the Tinnitus subscale of THS showed a positive strong (r = 0.75) correlation. Divergent validity showed only a moderate correlation. All analyses were statistically significant (p < 0.01).
THI-POL is a valid and reliable self-administered tool, which allows the overall tinnitus handicap of Polish-speaking patients to be effectively assessed.
描述耳鸣障碍量表（THI）如何被翻译成波兰语版本（THI-POL），并展示其在耳鸣患者临床群体中的心理测量数据，以说明该量表的表现情况。
将THI的原始版本改编为波兰语版本。通过重测法、克朗巴哈系数、认可率和项目-总分相关性来研究THI-POL的信度。还基于验证性因素分析、项目间相关性以及使用耳鸣与听力调查（THS-POL）的A分量表（耳鸣）的皮尔逊积差相关性来评估结构效度和收敛效度；使用THS-POL的B分量表（听力）来检验区分效度。
一组167名成年人在为期三天的住院期间两次填写THI-POL。
THI-POL总分的重测信度很强（r = 0.91）。总分的克朗巴哈系数很高（r = 0.95），证实了问卷的稳定性。验证性因素分析（CFA）和项目间相关性未证实三因素模型。THS耳鸣分量表的收敛效度显示出强正相关（r = 0.75）。区分效度仅显示出中度相关性。所有分析均具有统计学意义（p < 0.01）。
THI-POL是一种有效且可靠的自我管理工具，能够有效评估说波兰语患者的整体耳鸣障碍程度。
