Abstract

There is no quick, valid, and reliable screening tool in Turkish that can be used for screening language disorders associated with major neurocognitive disorders (MND). To fill this gap, we designed three distinct studies. In the first study, we adapted the Detection Test for Language Impairments in Adults and the Aged into the Turkish language (DTLA-Tr). In the second study, we collected data from 175 Turkish individuals to determine the normative data of the DTLA-Tr. In the last study, we investigated the psychometric properties of the DLTA-Tr by comparing 17 healthy individuals with 17 patients with Alzheimer's disease and determining its test-retest reliability. As a result of Study 1, the DTLA was adapted to the Turkish adult population. In Study 2, the normative data of the DTLA-Tr were provided. The results of this study indicated a positive correlation between educational level and DTLA-Tr total score. The results of Study 3 showed that the DTLA-Tr has high predictive validity and good test-retest reliability. The DTLA-Tr is a valid and reliable tool for assessing language abilities in both adults and the elderly. The findings of this study have significant implications for the evaluation of language in Turkish-speaking patients with MND.

成人和老年人语言障碍检测测试在土耳其的适应性、可靠性和有效性。

土耳其语中没有快速、有效和可靠的筛查工具，可用于筛查与重度神经认知障碍 (MND) 相关的语言障碍。为了填补这一空白，我们设计了三项不同的研究。在第一项研究中，我们将成人和老年人语言障碍检测测试（DTLA-Tr）改编为土耳其语。在第二项研究中，我们收集了 175 名土耳其人的数据，以确定 DTLA-Tr 的常模数据。在最后一项研究中，我们对 17 名健康人和 17 名阿尔茨海默病患者进行了比较，并确定了 DLTA-Tr 的测试-再测可靠性，从而调查了 DLTA-Tr 的心理测量特性。根据研究 1 的结果，我们对 DTLA 进行了调整，使其适用于土耳其成年人群。研究 2 提供了 DTLA-Tr 的常模数据。研究结果表明，教育水平与 DTLA-Tr 总分之间存在正相关。研究 3 的结果表明，DTLA-Tr 具有较高的预测有效性和良好的测试-再测可靠性。DTLA-Tr 是评估成人和老年人语言能力的有效而可靠的工具。这项研究的结果对评估土耳其语 MND 患者的语言能力具有重要意义。
