Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to validate the Communication and Language Assessment questionnaire for persons with Multiple Sclerosis (CLAMS) into the Greek language.

Method: 106 Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) and 51 healthy controls (HCs) participated in this study. We evaluated patients' cognitive abilities with the Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BICAMS). All PwMS completed the CLAMS and three additional questionnaires (Speech Pathology-Specific Questionnaire for persons with Multiple Sclerosis, SMS; Stroke and Aphasia Quality of Life Scale-39, SAQOL-39; the Beck Depression Inventory Fast Screen, BDI-FS), and all HCs filled in the CLAMS.

Results: The internal consistency of the CLAMS was excellent (a = 0.933) for the PwMS and a significant difference was found between PwMS and HCs for the total CLAMS score. Statistical analyses showed a significant positive correlation between the CLAMS and the other questionnaires (SMS, BDI, and SAQOL-39) and a statistically significant negative correlation between the CLAMS and the three subtests of the BICAMS (Symbol Digit Modalities Test, Greek Verbal Learning Test-II, and Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised). There was no correlation between the CLAMS and participants' age, disease duration, and disease type.

Conclusion: The Greek version of the CLAMS is a valid self-reported questionnaire for the evaluation of language and communication symptoms in PwMS.

希腊语版多发性硬化症患者交流和语言评估问卷（CLAMS）的改编和验证。

研究目的本研究旨在验证多发性硬化症患者交流和语言评估问卷（CLAMS）的希腊语版本：106 名多发性硬化症患者（PwMS）和 51 名健康对照者（HCs）参加了本研究。我们使用多发性硬化症简明国际认知评估（BICAMS）对患者的认知能力进行了评估。所有多发性硬化症患者都填写了CLAMS和另外三份问卷（多发性硬化症患者言语病理学专用问卷SMS；中风和失语症患者生活质量量表39 SAQOL-39；贝克抑郁量表快速筛查BDI-FS），所有健康对照者都填写了CLAMS：对于 PwMS 而言，CLAMS 的内部一致性非常好（a = 0.933），并且发现 PwMS 和 HC 之间在 CLAMS 总分上存在显著差异。统计分析显示，CLAMS 与其他问卷（SMS、BDI 和 SAQOL-39）之间存在显著的正相关，而 CLAMS 与 BICAMS 的三个子测试（符号数字模型测试、希腊语学习测试-II 和简明视觉空间记忆测试-修订版）之间存在显著的负相关。CLAMS与参与者的年龄、病程和疾病类型之间没有相关性：结论：希腊语版的CLAMS是一份有效的自我报告问卷，可用于评估残障人士的语言和交流症状。
