Prior research has shown that stuttering is a complex and individualized condition. The Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering (OASES; Yaruss & Quesal, 2016) is a well-researched tool that measures the impact of stuttering on an individual's life. This study has used the Polish version of the OASES to examine the experience of stuttering among Polish people who stutter.
The original, English version of the OASES was translated into Polish. Reliability and validity for the Polish version were evaluated. Comparisons were made between samples from Poland and the United States for all of the sections and for the overall results of the OASES-S, OASES-T, and OASES-A. To explore the structure of the stuttering experience, a factor structure of the OASES was conducted.
Like other versions of the OASES, the OASES-Polish (OASES-PL) demonstrated good reliability and validity. Cross-cultural comparisons have shown that Polish school-age children had significantly lower knowledge and awareness of stuttering than children in the United States (USA). Factor analysis further revealed that the structure of the experience of stuttering is similar across all age groups, but the importance of the particular aspects of stuttering varies at different stages of life.
The OASES-PL is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring the impact of stuttering on Polish people who stutter and can therefore be used as a clinical tool. Polish results were relatively similar to those from the USA, though there were subtle cross-cultural differences that are worthy of further exploration.
After reading the article, the participant will be able: (1) to describe the diverse experiences of Polish people who stutter at different ages, (2) to explain the importance of quality of life analysis in diagnosis and speech therapy with people who stutter, and (3) to explain the breadth of the stuttering phenomenon among Polish individuals who stutter.
先前的研究表明口吃是一种复杂且因人而异的状况。口吃总体评估量表（OASES；Yaruss & Quesal，2016）是一种经过充分研究的工具，用于衡量口吃对个体生活的影响。本研究使用波兰语版 OASES 来研究波兰口吃者的口吃体验。
原始的英语版 OASES 被翻译成波兰语。评估了波兰语版的信度和效度。对来自波兰和美国的样本进行了比较，比较的内容包括 OASES-S、OASES-T 和 OASES-A 的所有部分以及 OASES 的总体结果。为了探索口吃体验的结构，对 OASES 进行了因子结构分析。
与其他版本的 OASES 一样，波兰语版 OASES（OASES-PL）表现出良好的信度和效度。跨文化比较表明，波兰学龄儿童对口吃的知识和意识明显低于美国儿童。因子分析进一步表明，口吃体验的结构在所有年龄组中都相似，但口吃的特定方面在不同生命阶段的重要性不同。
OASES-PL 是一种可靠且有效的工具，可用于衡量口吃对波兰口吃者的影响，因此可作为临床工具使用。波兰的结果与美国的结果相对相似，但存在一些值得进一步探索的微妙的跨文化差异。
阅读文章后，参与者将能够：（1）描述不同年龄段的波兰口吃者的不同体验，（2）解释生活质量分析在口吃者诊断和言语治疗中的重要性，以及（3）解释波兰口吃者中口吃现象的广泛性。
