This study aimed to compare the affective, behavioral, and cognitive reactions related to vocal function in people with Parkinson's disease (PWPD) and healthy controls using the Behavior Assessment Battery - Voice (BAB-Voice). The test's internal consistency was also described.
31 PWPD and 19 healthy controls were recruited from September 2020 to March 2021. Participants completed four BAB-Voice subtests: Speech Situation Checklist - Emotional Reaction (SSC-ER), the Speech Situation Checklist - Speech Disruption (SSC-SD), Behavior Checklist (BCL), and Communication Attitude Test for Adults (BigCAT), describing the experienced negative emotional reaction, voice disruptions, coping behaviors, and negative attitude regarding communication respectively. Subtest scores were calculated and analyzed.
The scores of the PWPD were significantly different from those of the controls (Pillai's Trace = 0.344, [4] = 5.508, = .001, = .344): PWPD showed more negative emotions and voice problems, more coping behaviors, and more negative speech-related attitude compared to healthy controls. All subtests showed excellent internal consistency.
The BAB-Voice proved a tool with a good internal consistency that measured different psychosocial reactions in PWPD versus controls. PWPD exhibited significantly more negative emotions and voice problems in specific speech situations, more coping behaviors, and a more negative speech-related attitude. The specificity of information obtained from the BAB-Voice may aid in improving the treatment planning of voice disorders in PWPD.
本研究旨在使用行为评估电池-声音（BAB-Voice）比较帕金森病患者（PWPD）和健康对照者在发声功能方面的情感、行为和认知反应。还描述了该测试的内部一致性。
2020 年 9 月至 2021 年 3 月期间，共招募了 31 名 PWPD 和 19 名健康对照者。参与者完成了 BAB-Voice 的四个子测试：言语情境检查表-情绪反应（SSC-ER）、言语情境检查表-言语障碍（SSC-SD）、行为检查表（BCL）和成人交流态度测试（BigCAT），分别描述了经历的负性情绪反应、声音障碍、应对行为和对交流的负性态度。计算并分析了子测试的得分。
PWPD 的得分与对照组明显不同（Pillai 的迹=0.344，[4]=5.508，p=0.001，η²=0.344）：与健康对照组相比，PWPD 表现出更多的负性情绪和声音问题，更多的应对行为，以及更消极的与言语相关的态度。所有子测试均显示出极好的内部一致性。
BAB-Voice 是一种具有良好内部一致性的工具，可衡量 PWPD 与对照组在不同社会心理反应方面的差异。PWPD 在特定的言语情境中表现出更明显的负性情绪和声音问题、更多的应对行为以及更消极的与言语相关的态度。BAB-Voice 获得的信息的特异性可能有助于改善 PWPD 声音障碍的治疗计划。
