The aim of the present study was to adapt and validate the English version of the Singing Voice Handicap Index-10 (SVHI-10) into Kannada language.
Cross-sectional Comparitive study design.
The English version of SVHI-10 was translated into Kannada using standard procedure. A total of 115 singers participated in the study, including 90 singers with no voice problems (control group) and 25 singers with voice problems. The internal consistency, test-retest reliability, clinical validity, and cutoff points were calculated.
Kannada SVHI-10 has excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability. The singers with voice problems scored significantly higher than the singers with no voice problems (t = -14.67, df = 113, P < 0.001). The optimal cutoff point of the SVHI-10 was 9.5 with a sensitivity of 96% and specificity of 84%.
The Kannada SVHI-10 is a reliable and clinically valid tool to assess the self-reported singing voice handicap among singers. It can also be used as a quick screening tool for distinguishing singers with and without voice problems as per client's perception.
本研究旨在将英文版 Singing Voice Handicap Index-10(SVHI-10)改编并验证为卡纳达语。
横断面比较研究设计。
采用标准程序将英文版 SVHI-10 翻译成卡纳达语。共有 115 名歌手参与了这项研究,其中 90 名歌手没有嗓音问题(对照组),25 名歌手有嗓音问题。计算了内部一致性、重测信度、临床有效性和截断值。
卡纳达语 SVHI-10 具有极好的内部一致性和重测信度。有嗓音问题的歌手得分明显高于没有嗓音问题的歌手(t=-14.67,df=113,P<0.001)。SVHI-10 的最佳截断值为 9.5,灵敏度为 96%,特异性为 84%。
卡纳达语 SVHI-10 是一种可靠且具有临床有效性的工具,可用于评估歌手自我报告的歌唱嗓音障碍。它还可以作为一种快速筛选工具,根据客户的感知来区分有嗓音问题和无嗓音问题的歌手。
