Abstract

OBJECTIVE This study aims to cross-culturally translate the Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) questionnaire into Thai, and to determine the psychometric properties of Thai version (TFI-Th). METHODS TFI was translated into a Thai version (TFI-Th) using a forward - backward translation procedure. All participants completed the following questionnaires in random order: TFI-Th, Visual analog scales, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory Thai Version (THI-T), and Thai Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scales (Thai HADS). RESULTS The content validity index (CVI) of the TFI-Th was high. The TFI-Th showed adequate convergent and divergent validity. The correlation between TFI-Th and other measurements were calculated and showed a high correlation with THI-T (r = 0.82), a moderate-to-high correlations with each items of VAS (r = 0.66-0.86), and a moderate correlation with depression (r = 0.58) and anxiety (r = 0.62) of Thai HADS. The internal consistency reliability of TFI-Th was excellent (μ = 0.97). CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study revealed that the cross-cultural TFI-Th had similar reliability and validity to the original TFI and suitable for the evaluation of Thai tinnitus patients.

泰国患者耳鸣功能指数的跨文化适应和心理测量特征

目的将耳鸣功能指数(TFI)问卷跨文化翻译成泰语，并确定泰语版(TFI- th)的心理测量学特征。方法采用正向-反向翻译程序将TFI翻译成泰语版本(TFI- th)。所有参与者按随机顺序完成以下问卷:TFI-Th，视觉模拟量表，耳鸣障碍量表泰国版(THI-T)和泰国医院焦虑和抑郁量表(泰国HADS)。结果TFI-Th的内容效度指数(CVI)较高。TFI-Th具有足够的收敛效度和发散效度。计算TFI-Th与其他测量值的相关性，结果显示与THI-T有高相关性(r = 0.82)，与VAS各项目有中高相关性(r = 0.66-0.86)，与泰国HADS的抑郁(r = 0.58)和焦虑(r = 0.62)有中度相关性。TFI-Th的内部一致性信度极好(μ = 0.97)。结论本研究结果显示，跨文化TFI- th与原始TFI具有相似的信度和效度，适用于泰式耳鸣患者的评估。关键词:耳鸣;泰式耳鸣功能指数;心理测量特性
