In this study, the Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire was translated, culturally adapted and validated for Brazilian Portuguese.
This study was carried out in two stages. First, a prospective study of translation and cultural adaptation was carried out with a group of 20 patients. The questionnaire was translated, revised and back-translated from Portuguese into English. Subsequently, a retrospective study was carried out with 1,095 patients, 18 months after the first stage. The validation and reliability of the Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire was verified by comparing its results with the results of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory.
The interclass correlation coefficient of the behavioral aspects ranged from 0.82 to 0.90 and the total score was 0.93, while Cronbach's alpha was >0.94 for the total score during the test-retest application. To validate the questionnaire, a database was used, which consisted of 1,095 patients submitted to tinnitus assessment using the Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory simultaneously. Patients were enrolled from 14 Brazilian states (46% female), with a mean age of 58 years. The reliability of the Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire was tested during validation for the four different evaluated behavioral aspects, and the results were significantly high for all aspects and the total score. To validate the Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire, the results of the total Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire and Tinnitus Handicap Inventory scores were compared using Pearson's product-moment correlation test. The results indicate a high correlation between the two questionnaires (r=0.84; p<0.001; 95% CI 0.82-0.85).
The data from the Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire showed a high correlation with those of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory. This indicates that the Portuguese version of the Tinnitus Primary Function Questionnaire can be adopted as a valuable tool in the clinical evaluation of patients with tinnitus.

本研究旨在将耳鸣主要功能问卷翻译、文化调适并验证为巴西葡萄牙语版本。
本研究分两个阶段进行。首先，对 20 名患者进行前瞻性翻译和文化调适研究。问卷从葡萄牙语翻译、修订并回译为英语。随后，在第一阶段 18 个月后，进行回顾性研究，共纳入 1095 名患者。通过比较耳鸣主要功能问卷和耳鸣残疾量表的结果，验证耳鸣主要功能问卷的有效性和可靠性。
行为方面的组内相关系数范围为 0.82 至 0.90，总分为 0.93，而在测试-重测应用中，总分为 0.94 以上。为验证问卷，我们使用了一个数据库，其中包含 1095 名患者，他们同时使用耳鸣主要功能问卷和耳鸣残疾量表进行耳鸣评估。患者来自巴西 14 个州（46%为女性），平均年龄为 58 岁。在验证过程中，对耳鸣主要功能问卷的四个不同行为方面进行了可靠性测试，所有方面和总分的结果均显著较高。为验证耳鸣主要功能问卷，使用 Pearson 积矩相关检验比较了耳鸣主要功能问卷总分和耳鸣残疾量表的结果。结果表明，两个问卷之间存在高度相关性（r=0.84；p<0.001；95%置信区间 0.82-0.85）。
耳鸣主要功能问卷的数据与耳鸣残疾量表高度相关。这表明，耳鸣主要功能问卷的葡萄牙语版本可以作为评估耳鸣患者的有价值的工具。
