Abstract

The Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) is a 10-item self-administered questionnaire that assesses the severity of dysphagia symptoms, the impact of dysphagia on quality of life and treatment efficacy. EAT-10 has been adapted into several languages, including Malayalam. However, the information on the psychometric properties of EAT-10 MALAYALAM is not known. Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the EAT-10 MALAYALAM. EAT-10 MALAYALAM questionnaire was administered to two groups of native Malayalam-speaking participants. Group 1 consisted of a total of 110 participants (76 males and 34 females) with a mean age of 52.9 ± 13.5 years diagnosed with oropharyngeal dysphagia. Group 2 consisted of 110 age and gender-matched healthy participants with normal swallow function and no history and symptoms of swallowing disorders. The test-retest reliability was assessed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between the test and the retest scores; internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, and Known groups validity was evaluated by comparing the EAT-10 MALAYALAM scores between the participants of both groups. The results of Spearman's correlation coefficient showed 0.99, indicating that the EAT-10-MALAYALAM has excellent test-retest reliability. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.94, indicating strong internal consistency. Mann-Whitney U test showed significant differences in the scores of EAT-10-MALAYALAM between the participants of both groups. Therefore, it was inferred that EAT-10-MALAYALAM had good known groups validity. The EAT-10-MALAYALAM is a valid and reliable tool for screening Malayalam-speaking dysphagia patients.

马来语版EAT-10的心理测量特性评价。

进食评估工具(EAT-10)是一份包含10个项目的自我管理问卷，用于评估吞咽困难症状的严重程度、吞咽困难对生活质量的影响以及治疗效果。EAT-10已被改编成多种语言，包括马拉雅拉姆语。然而，关于EAT-10 MALAYALAM的心理测量特性的信息是未知的。因此，本研究旨在评估EAT-10 MALAYALAM的心理测量特性。EAT-10马拉雅拉姆问卷对两组以马拉雅拉姆语为母语的参与者进行调查。第一组共有110名参与者(76名男性，34名女性)，平均年龄为52.9±13.5岁，诊断为口咽吞咽困难。第二组由110名年龄和性别匹配的健康参与者组成，他们的吞咽功能正常，没有吞咽障碍的病史和症状。用Spearman秩相关系数评价重测信度;内部一致性评估采用Cronbach's alpha，并通过比较两组参与者之间的EAT-10 MALAYALAM评分来评估已知组的效度。Spearman相关系数为0.99，表明EAT-10-MALAYALAM具有优良的重测信度。Cronbach’s alpha为0.94，表明内部一致性较强。Mann-Whitney U检验显示两组受试者在EAT-10-MALAYALAM得分上存在显著差异。因此，我们推断EAT-10-MALAYALAM具有良好的已知群体效度。EAT-10-MALAYALAM是筛查马拉雅拉姆语吞咽困难患者的有效和可靠的工具。

期刊介绍： Dysphagia aims to serve as a voice for the benefit of the patient. The journal is devoted exclusively to swallowing and its disorders. The purpose of the journal is to provide a source of information to the flourishing dysphagia community. Over the past years, the field of dysphagia has grown rapidly, and the community of dysphagia researchers have galvanized with ambition to represent dysphagia patients. In addition to covering a myriad of disciplines in medicine and speech pathology, the following topics are also covered, but are not limited to: bio-engineering, deglutition, esophageal motility, immunology, and neuro-gastroenterology. The journal aims to foster a growing need for further dysphagia investigation, to disseminate knowledge through research, and to stimulate communication among interested professionals. The journal publishes original papers, technical and instrumental notes, letters to the editor, and review articles.
