The aim of this study was to evaluate, in terms of descriptive statistics, factor analysis, corrected item-total correlations, and internal consistency reliability, a Swedish translation of the Hearing Disabilities and Handicaps Scale (HDHS). The HDHS is shortened and modified version of the Hearing Measurement Scale. Data from 101 men having noise-induced hearing loss, with the pure-tone audiometric data showing a median value of 53.3 dBHL (R = 81.6; Q = 12.5) over the frequencies 3, 4, and 6 kHz better ear, were assessed at the Department of Audiology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Göteborg. A principal component analysis followed by a varimax rotation was conducted giving four emerging factors, accounting for 64.6% of the variance. Two of the factors, "speech perception" (alpha = 0.89) and "non-speech sounds" (alpha = 0.85), appear to measure perceived disability, whereas two factors, "interpersonal distress" (alpha = 0.79) and "threat to self-image" (alpha = 0.84), appear to measure dimensions related to the process of creating a handicap. The four-factor HDHS needs to be further tested in order to find out its usefulness for clinical assessment of perceived disability and handicap.
本研究旨在从描述性统计、因子分析、校正后的项目-总分相关性以及内部一致性信度等方面，对听力障碍与残疾量表（HDHS）的瑞典语译本进行评估。HDHS是听力测量量表的简化和修订版。来自101名患有噪声性听力损失男性的数据，其纯音听力计数据显示在较好耳的3、4和6千赫兹频率上的中位数为53.3分贝听力级（R = 81.6；Q = 12.5），这些数据在哥德堡萨尔格伦斯卡大学医院听力科进行了评估。进行了主成分分析，随后进行方差最大化旋转，得出四个新出现的因子，占方差的64.6%。其中两个因子，“言语感知”（α = 0.89）和“非言语声音”（α = 0.85），似乎测量的是感知到的残疾，而另外两个因子，“人际困扰”（α = 0.79）和“对自我形象的威胁”（α = 0.84），似乎测量的是与残疾形成过程相关的维度。四因子HDHS需要进一步测试，以确定其在临床评估感知到的残疾和障碍方面的有用性。
