Hearing loss (HL) affects the everyday functioning of millions of people worldwide. The Brief International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF) core sets for HL was developed to meet the complex health care needs of adults with HL. Because the brief core set for HL has not yet been validated internationally, this study aimed to investigate its validity from an international perspective.
A cross-sectional validation study based on data from structured interviews with adults with HL.
Participants ( = 571) from India, South Africa, Sweden and the US were included.
A six-factor solution explained 71% of the variance, focussing on issues related to ( = 0.915). Three ICF categories demonstrated low reliability - and .
The Brief ICF core set for HL is valid for adults with HL internationally. However, to further increase its international validity, we recommend adding the categories and replacing with the more inclusive block,
听力损失（HL）影响着全球数百万人的日常生活功能。《国际功能、残疾和健康分类（ICF）》HL 简短核心组的制定是为了满足成人 HL 的复杂医疗保健需求。由于 HL 的简短核心组尚未在国际上得到验证，因此本研究旨在从国际角度探讨其有效性。
一项基于对有听力损失的成年人进行结构化访谈的横断面验证研究。
纳入了来自印度、南非、瑞典和美国的 571 名参与者。
一个包含六个因素的解决方案解释了 71%的方差，重点关注与（ = 0.915）相关的问题。三个 ICF 类别表现出较低的可靠性——和。
《国际功能、残疾和健康分类（ICF）》HL 简短核心组对于国际上有听力损失的成年人是有效的。然而，为了进一步提高其国际有效性，我们建议增加类别和用更具包容性的块替换，
