To translate and validate the singing voice handicap index (SVHI-10) for the Tamil speaking Indian population and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Tamil version SVHI-10 (TSVHI-10) in classically trained Carnatic singers.
Following standard translation, a total of 120 classically trained Carnatic singers: 83 singers without voice complaint and 37 singers with voice complaints answered the Tamil translation of the SVHI-10.
The TSVHI -10 scores obatined from classically trained Carnatic singers with and singers without voice complaints were analyzed. SVHI-10 has excellent internal consistency and test retest reliability. Singers without/with voice complaint scored 7.08/22.86 total scores and for each domain Emotional (E): 1.73/5.32, Functional (F): 2.11/7.08, and Physical (P): 3.3/10.35 respectively.
The TSVHI-10 questionnaire seems to be psychometrically sound and is a valuable instrument for the self-evaluation of handicaps related to voice problems in the context of singing and for making subsequent clinical decisions. The Tamil version of the SVHI-10 was successfully validated as an instrument with proper internal consistency and reliability.
将歌唱障碍指数（SVHI-10）翻译并验证为泰米尔语的印度人群，并评估泰米尔语版本的 SVHI-10（TSVHI-10）在古典卡纳提克歌手群体中的心理测量特性。
在标准翻译之后，总共 120 名古典卡纳提克歌手：83 名无嗓音抱怨的歌手和 37 名有嗓音抱怨的歌手回答了 SVHI-10 的泰米尔语翻译版。
分析了来自有嗓音抱怨和无嗓音抱怨的古典卡纳提克歌手的 TSVHI-10 得分。SVHI-10 具有极好的内部一致性和重测信度。无嗓音抱怨/有嗓音抱怨的歌手的总得分分别为 7.08/22.86，以及每个领域的得分分别为：情感（E）：1.73/5.32，功能（F）：2.11/7.08，和身体（P）：3.3/10.35。
TSVHI-10 问卷在心理测量上似乎是合理的，是评估歌唱相关嗓音问题障碍的自我评估的有价值工具，并且可以做出后续的临床决策。SVHI-10 的泰米尔语版本已成功验证为一种具有适当内部一致性和可靠性的工具。
