The problems faced by trans women with regard to their voice may affect their quality of life. For the evaluation of trans women's voice, tools assessing their self-perception are very important, with the Transsexual Voice Questionnaire (TVQ ) being one of the most frequently used. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the TVQ (TVQ -TR), which was previously translated into 12 languages.
Cross-sectional study.
A total of 41 trans women participated in this study. The participants filled out the TVQ -TR, the self-perceptions of voice femininity questionnaire, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire-Short Form (WHOQOL-BREF-TR). Additionally, 58.5% of the participants filled out the TVQ -TR again two weeks after the first interview.
The total Cronbach's-α value of the TVQ -TR was 0.972, and the item-total correlation values were found to be between 0.323 and 0.876. The intraclass correlation coefficient value was 0.931. There was a strong negative correlation between TVQ -TR and self-perceptions of voice femininity. There was a significant negative correlation between TVQ -TR and the psychological and environmental domains of WHOQOL-BREF-TR. However, there was no significant relationship found between the social and physical domains.
According to the results of the study, the Turkish version of TVQ -TR was considered a valid and reliable tool.
跨性别女性在嗓音方面面临的问题可能会影响她们的生活质量。对于评估跨性别女性的嗓音，评估其自我认知的工具非常重要，变性者嗓音问卷（TVQ）是最常用的工具之一。本研究的目的是调查先前已被翻译成12种语言的TVQ土耳其语版本（TVQ-TR）的有效性和可靠性。
横断面研究。
共有41名跨性别女性参与了本研究。参与者填写了TVQ-TR、嗓音女性化自我认知问卷和世界卫生组织生活质量问卷简表（WHOQOL-BREF-TR）。此外，58.5%的参与者在首次访谈两周后再次填写了TVQ-TR。
TVQ-TR的总克朗巴赫α值为0.972，项目与总分的相关值在0.323至0.876之间。组内相关系数值为0.931。TVQ-TR与嗓音女性化的自我认知之间存在强烈的负相关。TVQ-TR与WHOQOL-BREF-TR的心理和环境领域之间存在显著的负相关。然而,在社会和身体领域之间未发现显著关系。
根据研究结果，TVQ-TR的土耳其语版本被认为是一种有效且可靠的工具。
